Fall in love with his passion.
On days when it is the sexiest thing about him
And on days when it is the only thing driving you apart

A Lesson on Loving Him

Listen to him.
Kindly.
Closely.
He will peel back layers of himself.
They will make you cry.
Listen to him.
He will show you various motivational speakers, that you've probably never heard of.
They will show you how he keeps his resilient spirit.
Listen to him.
When he tells you about his vision board.
Or about his checklist that he use to carry around in his pocket.
He believes writing things down is the start of bringing them to fruition.
Believe him.
Fall in love with his passion.
On days when it is the sexiest thing about him.
And on days when it is the only thing driving you apart.
Listen to him.
When he says he's going to do something.
He is going to do it.
Do not be confused when you are having a conversation or watching a movie and he pulls out his phone.
He stores all good quotes and vocabulary words in the notes section.
Listen to him.
When he says he wants to be alone.
It is nothing you've done or didn't do.
He finds solace in his thoughts.
Or he just wants to fold his clothes in peace.
Remind him.
He's doing a great job.
Sometimes he's too hard on himself, he forgets how far he's come when he worries about what he hasn't yet conquered.
Remind him.
YES! It is GREAT to save but he should splurge on himself.

Remind him.

His little cousin thinks he's the coolest person on earth.

Remind him.
He is not as funny as he thinks (he's much funnier but you can't tell him)
Challenge him.
Push his thought process.
Debate him.
He always thinks he's right.
He's not.
Learn to be in his space without needing his attention
That is divine connection


Sincerely,
the girl who fell in love with the details

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.
