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.

http://jccannarbor.org/

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
