Learning To Accept Where Life Takes You

Life can really just take you about anywhere…

Sometimes we wonder where life can take us. We don’t quite know if it will be good or bad. Life is very difficult, but maybe because we make it hard. The bigger picture of this is to see what life itself can throw at us and understanding why it is happening to us. In reality, anything is possible to really happen whether it is something that we want to happen or not. I guess it's just the process of accepting things of how they are. Although, most of the time, that is exactly where we get stuck on, acceptance. Acceptance is very important to understand; to really acknowledge why we have to learn how to accept things for how they are. Me personally, I am still struggling how to do that, but every day I take it day by day.

Accepting many things is a very hard thing to do. Sometimes you may feel angry or just really upset to the point where you just don’t know what to do. The feeling is very unusual, it keeps bothering you, it’s the only thing you can think about. I feel like it gets to the point where you just look at life like, “why man, why me?” Right? It is okay if that happens, it’s perfectly normal, nothing is wrong with that. But, I guess we can’t always blame things on life, sometimes things are supposed to happen, I quite still don’t know why, but it does.

Life for me is very frustrating, I know that nothing comes easy, although sometimes it’s just luck. I try day by day to be happy and be a better person than who I was the day before. Yes, it is difficult to accept a lot of things in my life just because I don’t deserve it. I don’t mean I don’t deserve it in a bad way, but a good way. A lot of things in my life right now are dealing with things that are hurting me, but I guess this is the process of becoming stronger than ever. The feeling I get is weird, I feel lost and confused. I feel tears running down my warm cheeks as I cry for help and to stop the pain. It’s odd to feel that way but I do. Sometimes, I need someone to help me, someone to guide me and be there every step of the way. I’ve been doing everything all by myself, and now it’s time that I actually need someone to be that motivator. Who knows, only time can tell what is right.

The meaning of life is meaningful and broad; it can just take you about anywhere. Life wouldn’t be so difficult if we learned how to be strong and accept a lot of things. It may take time, but being more aware and patient of it, it can turn into something great. Acceptance is the key to life, and for many of us if can also increase happiness. Life is a journey, but only you can control how to live 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.
