My Wish To You

Your smile brightens the room. Please don't hide it. Your laugh shakes the earth and sends waves across the Atlantic. Please don't hide it.

My Wish To You
Devin Tubbs

My wish is that you never let society break your will. For you are so strong and powerful that it would have to be heavy burdens to bare. The world is not perfect. No person is perfect, not even yourself.

Some people will dislike you for no reason at all, some will dislike you because you won't conform to their idea of how you should act. That's okay.

Some people may be beautiful on the outside. They draw you in with perfected verses on what's right and wrong only to show true selves and when the bully and nasty come out, they won't be so beautiful anymore. Don't fall victim to their unmerciful ways.

He or she will tell you they love you, they may or may not mean it. It could be years, months, weeks, or days but absolutely do not repeat it unless you mean it. If you do, love with every fiber of your heart. It's only natural to have a heartbreak but it is unnatural to lie. Even if it's just to yourself.

Be cautious of your crowd because you are who you keep company.

Stay humble in knowing we were made equally. Not one person is made with out blood and bones. We all bleed the same. Do not think you're ever too good to be someone's friend, or not good enough for that matter.

We all fight our own demons and once you break a porcelain doll, the cracks won't ever go away no matter how strong the glue is. Keep that in mind when venom tries to latch on to the tip of your tongue.

Do not let others define your idea of beauty.

Your smile brightens the room. Please don't hide it. Your laugh shakes the earth and sends waves across the Atlantic. Please don't hide it.

Your value is priceless so do not sell yourself short. Keep your morals and standards close to your heart and keep steadfast on your path of your own righteousness.

My wish is that you never let society break you. You're smart, you're courageous, and you belong

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
