Accepting The Things We Cannot Change
For The Love Of His Truth

As college students, we are faced with stressful situations that push our boundaries to the limits. We often become hard and down on ourselves on the first time we make a mistake, and we seem to forget that mistakes are everywhere and college is a learning experience. As students, we are expected to make mistakes so we can learn from them and remember that next time we will be able to correct the mistake and move forward.


Acceptance is key for being able to move forward; allow yourself the pleasure to move forward and transform those mistakes into successes. Although, acceptance may not be easy in a variety of situations; but over time those situations will become a thing of the past were mistakes go to become lessons. We cannot change the mistakes we make in our lives, but we can allow for acceptance to take over. Accepting your mistakes will allow for you to focus on your future; with a drive that wouldn’t be possible without the mistake that fueled it.

Acceptance comes in many forms; and can affect our relationships with others. We often become forgetful that individual are designed to have different perceptive and beliefs; these differences are the emotions that drive our society into the future and out of the past. Allow for acceptance of these difference; love yourself and the people around you, there past is different from yours and your key to acceptance may lay in the lessons they have learned from their mistakes.


“One of the happiest moments in life is when you find the courage to let go of what you can’t change”-Unknown

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!
