Dreams, Good Things, and Happiness
Preservation Of Moments

In life, we always want to be in a place other than the one we're in. What we don't realize is that we need to be in this place in order to get to the next place. Sometimes, it can seem like a repetitive chain of events, but as long as you are doing what you truly want to do, it doesn't matter where you do it.

You're making an effort to do something you truly want to do, and that is never easy. There's so much effort that one has to put into something that they truly want to do. When you are passionate, anywhere can be your workspace.

Your work doesn't go unnoticed. Your efforts don't go unnoticed. You took a complete chance and started from an idea and it became a reality. It's a crazy process to witness because when you start hitting milestones, you realize how much you're accomplishing and it's an amazing feeling.

Everything you go through along the way is necessary to make you stronger as you go.

We get conflicted because of expectations. We think that everything is just going to blow up overnight, but it takes time. We tend to get ahead of ourselves because we have such high hopes for what we want to do and we want to see things go well.

You have to remember that you can't give up. You have to keep moving forward. There are people out there who look forward to everything you do, and whenever you want to give up, think of those people. They will always be there to support you, no matter what you do.

There will be so many moments in between where you wonder if it's worth it and then you have moments when you realize why you made this thought a reality and you take a second to be proud of yourself.

It's all too often that we accomplish so much and we don't take a second to stand back and realize how much we accomplish.
The same way that you need to work, you need to rest. Balance is the key to happiness.

So, know this. You're in a certain place right now, but it doesn't mean that it will always be this way.

It's what's right for right now, and you have to take advantage of this time by doing what you want to do.

Don't fight what's helping you to stay motivated. Thanks to this, you're doing what you once dreamt of. Now, you get to watch this former dream as a current reality.

If you want to do something. Do it. Don't say you'll make time, because it's a guaranteed way to fail. The time to start is now.
In life, you have the chance to be whatever you want to be. Don't put it all on hold. Do what you truly want to do.

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.
