It’s typical to go through life without stopping to appreciate everything you have. Life gets in the way and causes you to stay busy, especially in today’s harsh world, but it’s important to recognize all the small, minute things in life. I thank God daily for all of the insignificant details of life.

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.

Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

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.
