Best is yet to Come

The other day I came across a quote that I felt really impacted the way I was thinking about things lately. So many of us through both good times and bad times constantly. People who we thought would be in our lives forever hurt us and can even kick us again when we're really down. When these things happen it's natural for us to get angry and negatively change the way you think about friendships, relationships, and people. Although it's true that not everyone has the same heart as you and that some people are cold enough to do terrible things, it's important to maybe try to handle hardships in a more positive though process. The quote I came across the other day was, "We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us". When people hurt you it's hard to let it go but it's important to know that it is OKAY for people to leave your life. Most of us have this though of how our lives are and should be and aren't open to change. I'm telling you to let go of those toxic people in your life. God brings those people in to make you stronger. If you finally let go of those toxic people, situations, and energy, you'll see that new people and things will enter that actually help you and make you happy. The life God has planned for us could even be better for us than the life we have planned for ourselves In our head. In conclusion this quote really inspired me to do three things: be open to change, okay that sometimes things won't make sense, and always stay true to yourself.

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.
