Don't Rush the Come Up

When you judge the book by the cover

Don't Rush the Come Up

I swear when all you see is the surface of someone you're forget it took work to get there. I think growing up I always wished instead of being blessed for the present. I can't lie, I'm still that person just an improved version. I don't sit around all day thinking why is someone so perfect and I still can't even remember to charge my phone at night. I swear living in this world makes it so hard to have flaws without feeling like you behind. Looking in the mirror some days I can still see that little girl who didn't want to go to school because she was being picked on.

Let's just say now I've grown women and still compare myself to others. I, of course, blame the media because why else would women compare themselves? I probably could care less about another female if it weren't for the media telling us we have to look a certain way. But this is another story, let's focus on how it is a constant battle to grow naturally. It has been a personal struggle my whole life to not feel behind. I swear I matured too fast and how I'm just trying to balance out what I bypassed at an accelerated speed. Every day is filled with questions wondering how the next person does it. I think college is a breading ground for not feeling like you are enough. The battle to be on top of your class is the worst fight of your life alone. Looking around at everyone and wondering why are they so successful and I cant' get an internship. Everyone seems to be in this yacht you weren't even in the right boating arena to get a glimpse of what it looks like. Everyone on the yacht looks like they are having the time of their lives and don't have the everyday problems you have just waking up. It's crazy because this is the exact idea which drives a persona crazy to forget everyone is human. Just because you can't see anything but their success doesn't mean it was better than yours will be. Nothing happens overnight,keep pushing.

Even though I rambled about in this post I want to make the point clear not to rush your come up. Comparing yourself to everyone is inevitable and even when you try your hardest it can't be avoided. Your come up is going to be a natural process that will come when you are ready. Sometimes you don't even know what's going on behind the screens and forget to enjoy every moment before you hit your peak. Everyone may seem like they have it together but remember, They were either where you are now, or are still there and hide it well. Never let the success of others make you downplay your own. The come up will come so relax, and enjoy the ride.

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?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.
