Family Is The Best Support System A Girl Could Ask For.

Family keeps you grounded. Whenever I am feeling lost, upset, lonely, broken, or so many other emotions, they are here to ground me and fill me with love

Too many times I get caught up in my busy life and forget what truly matters. It takes one visit home or one phone call to my sister to remind me what it is I am working towards.

Sometimes I forget why I work full work weeks and go to school full time. Sometimes I start to wonder why I work multiple internships. Life can get difficult whenever you have a full schedule and feel like half of it has nothing to show. But my family is always there to remind me what I’m working towards.

They are the ones who keep me grounded and keep me pushing towards my goals. Everyone needs that person who tells them “you can do this” or “this is why you ARE doing this”.

Because let’s be honest, life is tough. Life knows how to break you and then shake you once you’re already down. There is no denying that without a strong support system, of some sort, in some way, we would not survive.

A simple drive back to my hometown and pulling through my driveway brings me so much relief. Knowing my family awaits me inside those small town lines gives me hope. Knowing they are there to support me, ask about my endeavors, and guide me through this crazy thing called life is what keeps me sane.

Without my family, I would be completely and utterly lost. They know me better than anyone else in this world. Sometimes I feel like they know me, better than I know me. They help me sort out my emotions and deal with them properly.

Without my support system, without my Family, I would not survive this world. I would not survive my world. I am forever loving and forever grateful for their constant love and support to get me through this life.

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.
