An Open Letter To The Big Dreamer

We chase dreams that are unrealistic sometimes.

Have you ever been told your dreams are unrealistic? Or, the choices you make in the career you choose will greatly effect you? In this world, not many of us are taken seriously because we are chasing dreams rather than looking over tests that require us to take the time we have in school seriously. What we don't know is that it's ok to chase after dreams, but to also have a clear conscious when meeting at the turning lane of where to go next.

In this world, we're told to do our best, but sometimes our best isn't enough. To the dreamers out there, don't be afraid to reach your goals; no matter how unrealistic. Set up a game plan to get yourself there. It helps to have GPS where ever your dream is. Be the big dreamer you've always been, set those goals and make yourself run to that finish line. Come graduation day, when some have an idea of where they're going, what would be your calling? Where would you go and what would you do?

With those careers that are unrealistic and hard to come by, it can seem like it is oceans away. It seems close, but it truly isn't, unless you have connections and money to make yourself known. It's hard to make it anywhere, even as a doctor, lawyer, and president. Making it in Congress is even hard. Every career you set your mind to, it's going to be hard. There are no easy routes to take in order to get to the dream you've had growing up.

Reaching a goal is important because of the sense of relief that comes with the realization that you've finished a task that has taken a while to finish. The realization of achieving a goal is so rewarding because it gives you that feeling of accomplishment. The excitement that comes with wanting something is a feeling only those who want to be successful get

If you truly seek to be the next doctor, lawyer, or even entertainer, set a game plan. Don't feel bad if you don't make it right away, it happens with time. Without a game plan, our world would not be what it is today.

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.
