If You Need Some Perspective

Because we all need a little reminder sometimes.

If You Need Some Perspective

It's easy to get caught up. Our culture puts pressure on us to act, look, and be a certain way. Our schedules are hectic. We have to make good grades, balance a social life, and learn how to be "adults", yet cry because we miss our dog at home a little too much. The pressure is intense, but in the midst of the craziness, we need to take a step back and look at the big picture. Isn't that what life is all about anyways? Take a moment to relax, take a deep breath, and put things in perspective.


God's plan will prevail. Trust in this and be at peace.

There is at least one person on this earth who would die for you.

Happiness is a choice.

Fall weather is coming. And that means one too many Pumpkin Spice Lattes.

You are so loved.

You WILL get a job and you WILL be successful.

You are powerful, and strong, and capable.

Don't sweat that one professor or that one test. Life goes on.

Tomorrow is a new day - cherish it.

The weekend is almost here.

So many people wish they could have your problems, insecurities, and stressors. No matter what, it could always be worse.

Despite how much you think about it, you are not defined by the past.

Every night, someone thinks about you before they go to sleep.

There's never a bad time for ice cream, Nutella, or a cookie. Stop feeling guilty. Treat yo'self.

When you look in the mirror and immediately criticize, understand you are your own worst critic, and you are more beautiful than you'll ever know.

There's just 13 more Monday's until Christmas. THIRTEEN.

Your dog thinks you are the most awesome person on the planet - believe them.

You are smarter than you think. Regardless of your GPA.

Cast your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.


So when things get crazy and life seems to win, remember that perspective is key. Because we all need a little reminder sometimes.

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.
