It's very easy to get down on yourself with you constantly feel like you're doing your best and trying your hardest - hell, you might even feel like you're absolutely killing it! - and no one stops you to say good job. It can be really disheartening and you might think to yourself, why am I even trying this much? If no one is noticing the work that I'm doing and putting into this, why should I keep going? Even though you sometimes work incredibly hard and feel like nothing good comes of it, I promise you that it will eventually pay off.

The right people always see the work that you do, even if it takes a while. They will notice you and they will say, hey, this guy or girl is really doing a great job and working his or her butt off! Sometimes, though, those people are the ones who don't say anything. Those are the people who watch to see if you'll continue to do a great job, even when you might not be getting recognized for it. They might be sitting on the sidelines thinking, are they just doing it for the pat on the back? Or are they doing it because it's part of their character? And when they see you continue to bust your butt, without any recognition, because you just want to do the absolute best that you can do regardless of recognition, I promise you they see your character. They will see your strength and grit and hustle, and they will be the first to reward you and tell you how great of a job you did.

Good things always come to those who hustle. Don't forget that. Those who bust their butts and hustle day and night so that they can make it to the top, working however many jobs and the longest hours ever, I promise good things will come. It may take days, months, years even, but people always notice those who are constantly moving their behinds and grinding away. Regardless of how it feels when you have little sleep and want to give up because there isn't a payout, I promise you'll look back and love how hard you worked because it will get you to amazing places.

Make sure that you not only bust your butt but recognize the others that do, too. It's not easy constantly grinding and always trying your best and it sucks when no one notices you, so make sure to appreciate the others who are doing the same around you. It's easy to say "no one notices me" but it's better to lean on those who know what you're going through and show appreciation for each other. It'll make getting to the top that much sweeter - because you had a friend who understood the grind along the way.

I promise you that your hard work will pay off. When it does, you'll feel extremely grateful and it'll be very satisfying. You'll appreciate those who saw you sweating your tail off and you'll be grateful for those who helped you along the way. Keep pushing, keep your head up and always stay hungry. It's beautiful when you feel like you've made it. Grateful

So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.
