To The People Who Read My Articles, But Aren't Confident Enough To Tell Me

I know you're lurking. I can see you lurking.

I know you're lurking. I can see you lurking.

Why are you scared to compliment me?

Some people out there are too scared to compliment/ give others positive feedback. This is because they consider those people a threat.

No one in this world is a threat except the person you are tomorrow and the person you were yesterday.

We should be competing with ourselves, no one else.

Every time you get a thought of some positivity, you should share it. You should not bottle up the amazing things you are capable of saying to someone.

You do not realize how one compliment/sentence/message could really, positively impact someone's life.

Don't be a hater. Don't be an envious, "negative nelly." Share your positivity with the world.

The next time you really like someone's hair or someone's shoes, freakin tell them. What is the worst possible outcome? Exactly, nothing.

38,000 views on an article, and only (maybe) 10 people have said they enjoyed reading my work.

I know you see what I write, and I know you enjoy it. So why not tell me? Why not spread around some positivity like PB&J?

Don't be insecure, complimenting someone else will not make you look less than.

It actually makes you glow more.

Think about that one.

You're welcome.

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.
