Lord I had my Share of dark dayz/ feeling like I'm going crazy/cause as of lately I've been very lonely... Driving in the right lane going the speed limit of life/ As my peers catch road rage and pass by... Flick me off and scream Y.O.L.O. my guy/ Dear lord.. I'm in a dark day/ Even though the sun rays/ even if it's sunny without a cloud in the sky/ the tears that I cry bring severe thunderstorms; dark clouds form.. lord why is it that as of lately my forecast has been dark and gloomy? I'm traveling in life the speed you told me to travel.. I know that my walk with you ain't as easy as I thought of... Gave my life to you at the age of 17... Happy as I could be feeling free! Yet soon as I left church the enemy master plan started to wage/ as i fought the very temptation that you told me you'll save/ Lord I had my share of dark dayz/ feeling like all that's left is dark dayz/ I'm 23 feeling like I'm living my last dayz/ And I try not to speak it/ But death stay in my thoughts so long that i'm starting to believe it/ my dreams? will I achieve it? Or will I see it? grow into the most beautiful thing; and God made it/ Like part of me is happy and part of me feel sorrow... Take love for an example cupid's arrow shot me but the effects ended up traumatic I'm still lonely and still in the dark dayz that I know all too well of/ I'm sitting here praying for money knowing it's the root of all evil/ maybe cause I can pay for sin & and not salvation.. what profits a man who gain the whole world & lose his soul? dark dayz some more... Severe depression galore/ Lord just one time could you just pick me up from the floor? Take me out the dumps... Wrap me In your holy arms and caress me till the pain is gone/ For 23 years been having the same pain play the game as I scream; can't cry no more lost water works for sickle cell when I turned nine in this hell on earth/ feeling even worse/ the thing I fear the most is me dying and having no children that'll be crying.. At the funeral as they see Q smiling looking peaceful because living that life was a challenge/ Or having a wife that's going to miss me as I leave zion/ My worst fear Is dying.. Is it going to hurt? Is there even a heaven? Don't get me wrong I believe but help my unbelief as well. I just want to live as long as I can and when I die I pray the words I've formed with this pen live forever and It bless the next one who having dark dayz okay? Dear lord I had my share of dark dayz/

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.
