We've all heard the saying that bad things come in threes. Let me tell you something. That couldn't be anymore true. I have a few different examples of bad things happening in threes so if you don't like to read about bad things or death you might want to stop reading now. This article by no means is going to be happy and upbeat like others that I have written.

Last week I was scrolling through Facebook like it was any other week and I came across a post from one of my high school teachers. A male my age had passed away. This male was the end of one set of three and simultaneously the start of another set of three. You see I have been graduated from high school for three years and four months and this post was the third since graduation of males around my age having passed away from my hometown.

This death however had hit me a little harder than the other two of the set of three that he ended had. He lived down the road from me for years we went to school together and we grew up together. He was the one that I went home for.

Remember how I said he was also the start of another set of three? Later in the week I was scrolling through Facebook again and I came across two more people who had posted about loved ones passing away. These didn't affect me though because while I knew the people who posted that they had lost someone I did not know the people who had passed.

Bad things come in threes so you may start to feel better about someone passing away but soon after your grieving process starts all over again because unless that was your third one you are going to have more coming.

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.
