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

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
