This year I am taking the time to write down the things that make me happy, I have spent so much of my life focusing on the negatives of my life and only seeing what I hated about myself. I am taking a few minutes to write a list of what really makes me happy. I started writing this list in an old notebook of mine and I thought it was time to share it!

Here it goes:

  1. My Family: I would be absolutely no where in life without my family. They have given me so much. Their constant love and support is something that I appreciate every single day. They are the wind beneath my wings and the reason why I am the person that I am today.
  2. My Friends: I would also be nowhere in life without my friends. They make me laugh until I cry, help me to see the light when there is darkness and are always there without any hesitation. I am incredibly grateful for them.
  3. My Job: I have the joy of working with some of the most amazing people in the world. I love going to work everyday to do what I love to do. Everyday is incredibly rewarding and I feel good knowing that I have helped to shape the minds and lives of some of the best kiddies in the world.

I picked the three major things in my life that make me happy. When I come across something else in my life that will make me happy, I will add it to the list. I hope that this list has inspired you to take a second and think about what in your life makes you happy. It doesn’t have to be much but if it really makes you happy then that is all that matters.

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.
