Feeling is very important to me. I do what I feel right. If I cannot feel it, I cannot proceed smoothly.

This week made me exasperated. I was completely thrown. This week was the end mid-term. I have three papers due at the same time. On the other hand, I have two exams which I have not started reviewing for. When I check my books, I am missing some papers. I began to feel upset and emotional. I told myself that I do not have time for non-sense. I sat on my table and put my thought into studying. But I do not feel good.

I started blaming myself that I should have done things in advance and on time.

Then I realized it was better to stay positive in every aspect as possible. First, I organized my priorities. I gathered my calendar book and started writing important lists to do. The lists are longer than I thought they would be.

I keep myself busy, but the room is quiet and echoing with my movement. I get up and walk pass the hall to the restroom. I wash my face and take a deep breath. The mirror in front of me is the reflection of myself. But I feel like I do not know him. Who is this person? Who is this failure? Someone walks up to the restroom door and startled, I leave.

I go to my room and start typing a few words for the paper. Suddenly, words come out of nowhere from my mind and I keep on typing. I feel good about what I am doing for the first time. I wish It would last forever. Step by step, I cross off the checklist and call it a night. I went to my bed peacefully.

Suddenly, I hear the vibrating tone of my phone. I look around for my phone but it is not beside me. I realize that I was in bed and my phone was on the study table. I slept the night without finishing the papers. I was dreaming all along. What have I done!

I got up from the bed. Feeling more furious than ever. I brushed my teeth and washed my face. I pick up my backpack and went to the Cafeteria. Even though I feel nothing, I go straight to class and talk with the professor.

That day was crazier than ever.

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.
