Growth

Life changes and so do you

Growth

As we live our life it all revolves around one thing, growth. Growth comes in many different ways and may not even be seen until you change.

Growing up I have always felt like an outcast in many things and I still do sometimes. I always wondered why I couldn't be like the girl that was really pretty or be the person that everyone loved. But time and learning helped me realize who I am.

I was raised in a pretty small town surrounded by the same people until I left for college. Sure as I lived there and grew older I felt as if I was growing up and becoming a better version of myself. It wasn't until I was placed on my own I saw the potential of who I can be.

Like I said growth comes in many places and you can grow in absolutely anything. I want to grow in my faith, in my love for myself, in my life passions and my traits, in my wisdom and kindness for others. There is always a way to make the world and yourself a better place.

As I look to grow I can see all of my opinions and beliefs forming instead of conforming to what I have always known. Without moving forward there is no way there can be successful futures. The world changes every day and I have decided I want to be the one person I can count on and can change with the times.

Living your life in your bubble can make you happy but I want to use my growth and change as a person to experience all the world has to offer. We would never see flowers if they didn't grow from seeds. There is ways that you can plant your own seed and see how you will bloom with all the world will have to offer.

"We cannot become what we want by remaining who we are." -Rachel Adams

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
