If you are like me, you cling to temporary people because you don’t like change. Don’t cling to these people who fail to see your worth only because you don’t want them to leave.

I struggle with this on the daily for real. I am constantly giving disrespectful people a pass because I am “too nice” or maybe I just fail to see my worth, either way it’s not good for our souls.

Please don’t let these people disappear for days/weeks at a time and come back like nothing happened. Please understand that you don’t need any one and that you are fine on your own.

You don’t have to settle for people who don’t text you back or only text you when they need something. Please understand your worth and understand that these people are failing to see that. You don’t have to text them back right away when they decide to come back because you are “nice”, that is not being nice to yourself.

Please don’t make excuses for these people like I have because it will drain you always trying to figure out why they are going ghost or being dry. You need to understand that no one is “too busy” to send a 5 second text.

So if you are like me and struggle with being “too nice” to people aren’t even giving you the time of the day, please read this over and over. Please understand that being alone is way better than wondering why you aren’t “good enough” for someone to text back. Remember your worth and understand that you are always good enough.

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.
