How Bad Do You Want It?

Dear Self,

How bad do you want itself? How bad you really want to be successful in your own right, self? Is your success worth losing sleep over? Are you really in this? Self, wake up! Please do not get caught up in the fairytale lifestyle, Walt Disney did not write your destiny if you do not take action things will not be happily ever after for you! You have to get up and go get what you want, nothing is going to be given too easily.

You basically have to just go and grab what you want right now in life and never let go. Nobody is going to go out and get your dreams for you but you. As much as your parents, sibling, friends and family love you and want you to be successful, you have to go get it for yourself! Give yourself the green light in life, don't sit there and wait for somebody to give it to you!

"When you get to the point where all you want to do is be successful as bad as you want to breathe then you'll be successful"

Is your heart really in your success? You can do anything you set your mind to, you just have to want it! Find that drive find that hunger and go get what is yours. Even when you feel like you've done enough do a little more. Try even harder go above what you're capable self, push yourself to every limit you have and once you reach that limit push even harder! You are going to have to be willing to lose somethings in order to gain all that you want. And that's perfectly fine let old unneeded baggage go, create a clean slate for yourself and GO! Go get what you want, get your hearts desires whose really stopping you self?

Self if all else fails remember the bible says "Eyes have not seen nor ear have heard the things God has prepared for those who love him." Keep God first and let him lead and guide you, trust and love him! Well, how do you trust him? How do you let him lead and guide you to your destiny? Right? I know that's what you're thinking but you start with prayer. Thank God for all the blessings he's already given you, thank him for all of the hurt and the pain that he's allowed you to go through. Always thank God for loving you unconditionally and keeping you! Ask him to order your steps into his will for you, ask that you be decreased and he be increased in you all times. Most importantly just seek him!

Love,

...Self

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.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
