Hey you,

Yes you.

I can just see it now: you're sitting there with an iced coffee, staring at your planner which is filling up much more quickly than you expected it to, thinking "How the hell am I going to make it all work?!"

Trust me, I feel you. But you're back now, and you've totally got this.

Think about it! It's a new year, and with that comes the opportunity for a fresh start. Or if you had a good thing going on, now you can pick up right where you left off.

The possibilities? Endless. The all-nighters you will inevitably pull? Cross that bridge when you come to it. That embarrassing night out from last year? Still funny, but in the past now. No matter what you've got on your plate this year, you're gonna eat it up. You're hungry for success.

So, go for that run. Eat that ice cream. Stay up 'til 3 am for no reason. Sit in the front row of your classes and impress those professors. Go in for that kiss. The world is literally yours for the taking. Don't let a second pass you by.

This is the year you go for it. A leap of faith is necessary. And not only are you gonna leap, you are gonna leap like a freaking antelope.

I know it's hard to feel motivated. But from one friend to another, I believe in you. Sometimes that's all you need to stand up a little straighter and laugh a little louder.

With love and light,

Lil

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:
