Bitterness is anger and disappointment from being treated unfairly. What is the point of bitterness? I had a run-in with bitterness. I was bitter because I was forced to go to a class where everyone else was married and starting families or at the very least, were headed that way. I was so bitter. That bitterness over such a minor situation became embedded into the way I looked at everything. It soon became everything was about me. I became a selfish individual who only complained and cared about myself. Bitterness gets you nowhere. I lost friends and opportunities. I was not being who God wanted me to be. I lost opportunities to be God's light in a dark world and for what, for my own selfish desires? Bitterness gets you nowhere. I got so caught up in myself that I didn't care who I hurt. I was hurting and was blaming others for my bitter attitude. The problem wasn't with anyone else it was with me. Bitterness gets you nowhere. Bitterness only hurts you and others, especially the people you love. Take every day with a smile on your face and an optimistic attitude and kiss bitterness goodbye. After all, it doesn't get you anywhere.

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.

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.
