A few words before school starts: make this year the best by changing yourself for the better. I know you've heard this one a lot, but it's true. Regardless of what school year you're about to start, it is never too late to begin off with a fresh start. Who knows? Maybe this will be the school year you actually decide to try that disgusting looking salmon served at the cafeteria...JUST KIDDING..Or maybe I'm not. My point is that you can become whoever you want and do whatever you want this school year--just make sure that you change things for the better.

Let me provide an example to back up my advice: maybe you were slightly known for being a complete b***h or an A-hole in the previous year. Let this be a motivation to consider being more nice to people around you. Receiving a little kindness doesn't hurt anyone, and serving a little kindness sure doesn't hurt either. Maybe this year you actually want to consider joining more clubs because you were rarely involved the previous year. Another example could be that your procrastination game last year was strong AF. Well, let this year be the time where you completely stay on your A-Game and stay right on track with due dates for homework assignments. Just think about it. Don't you ever just get tired of freaking out because your 3-5 page paper is due by noon the next day and you HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED IT YET? I, for one, am guilty of this and am sure getting tired of this. That is why I am making sure I utilize my super cute planner this year to make sure I stay right on track with my due dates--goodbye procrastination!

Some of you right now may be thinking, "Okay, Tenzin. So what? It's a new school year, it doesn't really mean sh** to me. I'm still going to be the same, old me." Okay, well you're completely right. My encouragement for you to become a better you may sound silly to some because you may already be the best that you can be. Or maybe you just find this a cliché advice. Whatever your disagreeing opinion may be, just know that it doesn't hurt to change things up a little. So, what are you waiting for? Go be the best you that you can be this new school year!

LET THIS SEMESTER COMMENCE.
