Fall: Nature's New Beginning

There are a lot of people that say spring is the best time for a new beginning. And there are others who believe the winter and ringing in the new year are just fine. I'd like to propose the argument that the season of fall is indeed the best time for starting anew. I'm not entirely sure if it's because I've always gone back to school around this season, but something about fall just feels right for making new changes. Look at the weather during fall. The trees loose their leaves, the plants turn brown and go away. The old leaves to make way for the new. Which would make you think that once again spring is really where change begins, but that's not where it really starts.

Change begins when the old starts to die and go away. You can't have change without something going away. That's what happens in the fall. Everything that was once old starts to disappear for the new. Nature has been something that has inspired people for centuries to make different decisions. Maybe that's one of the reasons why fall feels so right for change.

From the leaves disappearing to the colors going from bright to dull, everything around us is transforming. So it makes motivates us to change right along with it. You can even feel it during the summer months. You've got to soak up that last little bit of sun before everything changes once again. That word is coming up a lot, huh?

Change.

Hopefully it doesn't frighten you because change is something that's always going to happen, come rain or shine. We see it again and again each new season.

It's that time for a new beginning and you can even feel it in the air. The brisk chill that is felt from the wind whipping around you brings the spark of a new promise. We all become different people as we move on in life, it's just natural. Take the advice you feel from the season and make those changes that are hidden deep down in the pit of your gut. They say you're gut is never wrong, anyway.

So go ahead and make those changes you've always been wanting to make. Start that new excessive program because it makes you feel amazing. Go for that new career because you feel drawn to it and it's something you've always loved. There is nothing wrong with making transitions, especially in a season like fall. It's bound to happen anyway, so why not just go ahead and do it now?

Become that better person that you know you can be. If it helps any, know that I believe you can too.

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.
