As we move through life every decision we make can totally change who we become. In life I strive to be the best I can, life is too short to be wandering around with out any intentions or goals in life. The life you dreamed of is attainable as long as you are willing to work for them. Here are 3 quick steps to living an epic life!

1. Get Organized!

Organization is key to having a productive life. It should be in every area of your life. It is really easy to have a clean room, but miss every appointment you have scheduled. Learn what works best for you and organize to fit how you operate. Many times people will organize how they have seen other places, but that is not necessarily the best for you. That also goes for planners just something that will keep you on top of your daily errands and task. Once you find what works for you make sure you stay consistent. Consistency is key, it will make organization a habit, which in turn will make it a life style.

2. Be Willing to Try New Things!

This one sounds pretty basic. However it is much needed. When you try new things it is a way to truly stretch yourself . The best part is you learn more about yourself. I personally tried a new genre of music on pandora and absolutely fell in love. I thought I was pretty set in my ways but I was opened to another side of myself through this music. It was no longer about the beat or rythm but mostly about the lyrics. I felt like I was able to experience music differently and get back to the root of what it is all about. However your experience may be different but is the experince where you grow. Being epic you take risk, even though trying a new genre of music, different type of food, or traveling somewhere new it is was about the experince. Each experience gives you more confidence to try something else down the road.

3. Get Quality Sleep

This one I can not stress enough! You can not be great if you are tired. Sleep is so vital to your success. It is literally what keeps us going. Sleep is so important as it gives you the energy needed to function. Each person is different on exactly how much sleep is perfect for them, but it is usually suggested to get around 8 hours of sleep. Now that sounds like a lot but if you go to sleep at 11pm and wake up at 7 am that is totally doable. However I realize life happens and for whatever getting 8 hours a night is a stretch. If that is you just strive for a consistent amount of sleep every night. If you are short on sleep maybe even try to schedule a nap in your day to keep your body and your mind healthy.

All in all living an epic life means finding yourself. Whatever you do just remember these three steps and you will be able to achieve all of your goals.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
