Sometimes life can be a little too overwhelming and things can get very stressful. Sometimes all we want to do is run away and never look back because sometimes disappearing is easier than dealing with all the problems and issues that life throws at you.

And that is totally normal. I think everyone feels this way and just wants to be able to escape reality every once in a while.

It's okay to want to take a break from the real world. However, don't just disappear to somewhere you can't ever come back from. Yes, life sometimes can be a pain, but that's what makes it life - it has its ups and downs, but you just have to deal with it. You have to take the good with the bad because escaping your life just isn't realistic. And, yes, sometimes it just seems like the easier thing to do, but that isn't how you get through life.

Life will never just be rainbows and sunshine - with every sunny day there is bound to be a rainy day, too.

Take life by the reigns and conquer every difficult day so you can enjoy all the good ones, too. If you try to escape your life and responsibilities there may be certain things that you miss out on that can positively impact your life. But you will never know because you chose to run. It may seem like nothing will ever go your way, but trust me, one day everything will turn out to be great.

Fear has two meanings - forget everything and run or face everything and soar. The choice is yours.

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.
