Dreams Are Realities, We Just Have To Pursue Them

Would you take a risk if you had to to make one of your dreams a reality? Have you ever had a goal or dream and you kept putting it off but the more times you talked about it out loud the more it sounded good, yet you were hesitant to follow through?

Sometimes the dream might feel like it is not the right time to pursue it. This might sound cliché, but life is short, so take the risk. Anything is possible if you have a good support system and you put your mind to it. A quote that I like is: "If you believe you can, you can. If you believe you can't, then, well you can't." This is a quote by Celestine Chua. The biggest part of any dream is believing in yourself. If you first don't believe in yourself then nothing is possible, and how do you expect others to believe in you?

Something to remember is that each dream is a process and has goals. Another phrase we probably hear is: "Rome was not built in a day." So whatever your goal is, remember to have patience with yourself and the journey the dream is taking you on.

Miracles happen every day, but they don't happen when you're just sitting around and fantasying about the dream you have. Dreams take hard work and dedication. I also like the quote, "If one door closes another one opens." This quote has put so much meaning into my life and I believe it can in yours also.

We live in a land of possibilities, so no matter how big or small your dream may be, it is possible to fulfill it. It is OK if your dream fails or if you have failures while completing it; that is normal — no one is perfect. We just have to remember to try and try again and not give up.

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.
