Forget Everything And Everyone Else — It’s All About What You Believe And Who You Believe You Are

Be you, not who they say you should be.

Forget Everything And Everyone Else — It’s All About What You Believe And Who You Believe You Are

I am not a religious person.

My family they are religious people. They go to church every Sunday, they all have a bible on every bedside table, they have never missed communion, and they believe in the 7 deadly sins.

I was asked once if I was going to become an atheist because the last time anyone could recall me going to the church was when I wore pick bows in my hair. Did I even believe in religion?! They asked. I laughed which probably wasn't the best response, as they scoffed and held tightly onto their bibles.

Then I simply said, I have faith that this worlds beauty didn't just happen but it was created. I believe forgiveness can always be granted if someone truly wants it. I talk to a friend who lives in the clouds when I feel this world is too much for me. I believe in pure love, like the one of a mother for her children. Lastly I hope for a place after this without hurt in it.

But since I don't go to church on Sundays, drink from a holy cup, and grasp the Bible I guess you're right I'm not religious.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
