To The One Crying At 2 A.M.

It's okay to cry.

I feel you. I feel your pain, your heartbreak, your sadness.

I feel your helplessness and your wondering on whether or not it's worth it to go on.

Let me first tell you that you do not deserve whatever is making you cry.

Whomever, or whatever hurt you is not because of you and you do not deserve it.

There is nothing you did that could justify whatever is bringing you so much pain.

It is not your fault. You do not deserve it.

I know it doesn't feel like it right now, but things will be okay.

I have to be honest and tell you that I don't know when things will get better — if things will get better.

But, I do know that they will be okay.

I'm still trying to determine whether or not things get better for myself so I will not feed you the line that everyone else does. I know you're tired of hearing it.

But I will tell you that you have gotten through 100% of your bad days until now and I'll tell you that you don't want to ruin that streak.

Everything may seem like it's crashing down right now, and it may seem hard and damn near impossible to continue on with this hurt or this heartache but you can and you will.

You will wake up tomorrow and things may still hurt, things may still be bad, but you are alive and that is amazing.

You should be proud of yourself right this very second for getting through all you've gotten through and you should know that even though things look rocky and foggy for the future, you will get through this too.

You will wake up tomorrow after a night you didn't think you would get through and you should be proud of that.

You should know that you're not alone in this, there are many people awake at the same time questioning the same things that you are and if it makes you feel any better, know that we are all going to get through our own troubles - together.

Whatever is making you cry right now, will be so little in comparison to the big picture of your life and all the good that will come of it.

I know you are hurting, and that is okay but you have to know that things will eventually be okay.

You will eventually be okay.

You are strong.

You are worth this life, and of love.

You did not do anything wrong nor do you deserve whatever is troubling you right now.

Things will be okay.

For all you know tomorrow could be the best day of your life, so cry it out now because eventually, you will be smiling again, even if it seems impossible right now.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

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?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
