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

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

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?
