Keep Pushing Through Whatever You Are Dealing With

Did you ever think what the world would be like without you?

Well don't because there is so much more to the world than you think. You just have yet to see it.

Many of us are at the age where we have to start acting like adults and leave our childhoods in the past. I have struggled with this part in my life this past year, well because who honestly wants to grow up? It is apart of life, but it should never be a reason why you would question your existence, no circumstance is that harsh. God put us on this earth to make a difference not to question ourselves.

I have to constantly tell myself, "It will get better". Why you may ask. Because being a college student with depression and anxiety is never easier. There are days when my depression will consume me and make me believe staying in bed is best for me. Yes, it is comforting to lay in a bed all day and do nothing, but if I let that happen, then I am letting depression get the best of me. Life tends to be unfair sometimes, but you have to keep pushing and fighting. You deserve to be here as much as anyone else does.

I know I am not alone in this. You are not alone either in any situation. Mostly everyone will go through life and come across a conflict quite like mine or even yourself. It took me awhile to realize this. Please don't take too long to realize it before it is too late.

Life is a about making the best out of it every day. Once I started letting all the negativity out of my life and kept reassuring myself that I have a voice in this, I became to realize that this life isn't too bad after all. You just have to push through it. There is so much joy and adventure in life. I cannot wait to see what my life has in store for me. I know if I continue to tell myself that I am okay and that it does better, then I will be exactly where I want to be with my happiness and life. If you feel the same way as I did then I am telling you now; You are the only person who can help yourself. It all starts with you.

There is much more out in the world. Do not constantly limit yourself because you are scared, you can make a difference in the world. When I stopped limiting myself, that is when I start enjoying and appreciating my life more. Be brave, be kind, but most importantly; BE YOU! The world would most definitely not be the same without you. You are one of a kind.

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.
