Battle Cry

"All of my fears, and all of my doubts are lacing their boots and grabbing their guns, the war is on now."

Battle Cry

One of the toughest battles one will have to fight is the one within themselves. It's a battle hard to describe because everyone experiences their own type of battles in their own way. Some come out winning these battles and others continue losing them, the question is how long can one keep going?

"Battle Cry" is not just the name of this article, but the name of a song from the hit show Empire.

"Battle Cry" is another world within itself. It's not another love song, but a song that talks about real issues within yourself. This is the type of song that you have to read in between the lines in order to understand where it's coming from.

Life is an everyday struggle, not knowing whether you'll rise the next day or not is a scary feeling. In this day and age, life is not so much about going on with your daily lives, but so much more than that, especially when you see someone's inside their head instead of outside. Fear is inside people's brains. There are many things that give us fear, but what if this type of fear doesn't go away? When you go to sleep you have that fear stuck inside your head day and night, you wake up and still have that same fear stuck inside yourself. Then doubt takes over love and it leaves you paralyzed. Not being able to enjoy the most beautiful things in your life, always wondering when it'll all be over or questioning whether it's all real. Deep inside you feel that there is no escape to all this madness and want to just explode and release something. In a battle within yourself, it feels as if you may end up losing the things most precious to you. You find out there what was fake and what was real.

"I will never lose this let whatever come my way, I am stronger than my rival and I will not fall today."

Such motivating words those are, words to draw strength from and words to defeat your inner self, right? For some those words means a lot and can change their entire battle strategy and some become victorious. For others they are just words hitting a brick wall with no effect whatsoever. To understand people with losing battles, you have go in deeper and search.

The war is on now, but the real question is can you end up winning or end up losing yourself?

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.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
