In life, there are people who come into your life and there are people who leave, that’s a fact we all know to be true. I have noticed recently a trend of talking about the people who leave on social media - and while this is empowering, I feel that the people who come into your life and rock your world need to be highlighted, too.

College is an especially great time to focus on this because it can sometimes feel as though you meet someone new every single day. Some of these people are better for you than others, but the ones who are good for you seem to be the greatest people you will ever meet.

This year I have had the joy of being an Assistant Director in my organization and it has been the most rewarding and fulfilling thing I have done. We have 90 freshmen that all of us AD’s and execs are in charge of and let me tell you, they are one of the greatest groups of 90 people I have met.

We had our Winter Celebration last night and it was so rewarding to get to love on them and celebrate all of their hard work they have done this semester. Last night was a night where I was “in my feelings” because I realized I only had one more semester with these guys, but I am forever grateful for such an incredible first semester.

The freshmen in my organization are some of those people who feel like the greatest people you will ever meet. Each and every one of them is so diverse in their thoughts, feelings, senses of humor, almost every aspect about them; however, they are all bound together based on their compassion, empathy, leadership, and selfless, servant's hearts.

In this lifetime, countless people will waltz into your life and perhaps double that will walk out of your life - that’s why, when you encounter people like the 90 freshmen in MSC FISH this year, you should squeeze them around the neck and shower them in love whenever you get the chance. To all of the freshmen, you are life changers. I love you guys and I am so proud of you.

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.
