"There are far better things ahead than any we leave behind"

There's something about losing your way that changes you in a way we can't explain. You get frustrated, you get confused and you start to lose your ways. Really, sometimes life gets in the way and you start to feel like you're changing as a person.

Your personality changes from you to vague, you really can't seem to find happiness in anything you do, and you yourself are drowning within yourself.You lose interest in things you do and things you love, and you change your emotions towards the ones you love.

You have to find that fate and good when you feel lost. We are all growing as people. We are all only human. We have our good days and our bad days. We make mistakes; we live and we learn. We have so much support and love around us we didn't even know it.

Without my family and close friends, I would be nothing. My mom is always there to listen and guide me through tough situations. She made me realize I serve a greater purpose in life than to be sad about situations or faults I had no control over.

Understand that everything happens for a reason. It's OK not to be OK for a while. Things always get worse before they get better. You have to have faith and keep going. Take those baby steps into each day.

There will come a day where you realize turning the page is the best feeling in the world because you realize there's so much more to the book than the page you were stuck on.

So in the end sometimes you have to lose yourself to discover who you might yet be. Sometimes what feels like breaking down is really just breaking free. There's no statute of limitations on starting over and reinventing yourself.

Be brave enough to find the life you want, and courageous enough to chase it. I promise the day you truly find yourself again will be the day you quit trying to fit into a world that was not fit for you or your happiness.

Always remember your value isn't in your doing or saying--it's in your being.Your worth is far beyond what you know, my darling, so just keep the faith.

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.
