8 Changes I Need to Make

1. Forget about what other people are thinking.

I often think about what others think of me too much. To be able to focus on me more than others is something I need to try more. I should try to believe that only my opinion matters, not anyone else's.

2.Just be happy.

I often times find myself feeling sad when I ought to be happy. I would like to change this about myself. Life is a beautiful thing and I should be happy to be living it.

3. Feel what I need to feel.

Feelings can be tough for me sometimes. I need to learn to just let myself feel what I want to feel.

4. Have thicker skin.

I am often too sensitive for my own good. I want to be able to have a thicker skin so things won't bother me as much.

5. Don't forget that I am beautiful.

At times just like anyone else I can feel like I am not the prettiest. However, we are all beautiful in our own special ways. I may need to remind myself of that sometimes.

6. Battle my fears.

Battling your fears can be tough at times but it needs to be done. You will never be free until you start to battle your fears.

7. Realize I'm not perfect.

I often times look at myself and think why can't I be perfect. However, the truth is no one is perfect in this world. We are all unique and that's okay.

8. See that it's okay to make mistakes.

Mistakes can often be mistaken for failure. They should be seen as ways to help us get to our goals. If you make a mistake, it is just a way of showing you that what you are doing isn't working and you should change it.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
