And I hope that you are happy to be you!

I'm So Happy to be Me
Seedsoftheheart.com

I am full of many faults. We are all innately flawed human beings, and for the absolute majority of my life, I let this fact consume me. It is important to grow, and it is important to constantly work on the things about yourself that are not so good. But today I am going to take a break from that, and I am going to focus on why I am so happy to be me, flaws and all. Even though I'm not very good at doing crafty things, I still have really good taste. I hated the way that my hair laid when I cut it to my shoulders a few years ago, but I'm so excited because it is growing back quickly. It isn't quite where I want it to be yet, but it already hangs halfway down my back, and I am so impressed by my hairs ability to do exactly what I hope for it to do. I never have been the best at math and science, but I could write essay after essay and never once get tired of writing. I'm not very good at leaving a good impression on someone right away, but when people are patient with me, I am so lovable! I am not super clever, but I still can make people laugh. I didn't get the job that I really wanted last Spring, but I got an even better one that I will be starting in the Fall which goes to show that things really do end up working out for me, even when I become discouraged. I am goal oriented and driven to the point that it can annoy others, but I am grateful for these traits because it means that I am a hard worker. I am one of those weirdos that loves vegetables just as much as fruit, which (almost) cancels out that I love junk food as well. I always like to try new things, and I am rarely ever stuck in my ways. I'm nearly always caring and observant, and I love to work with people. Even though I dislike that I am extremely shy, I absolutely love being introverted. Even though I am a sinner by default, I love being His daughter, and I know that He loves me right back. I love that I am goofy. I don't always love the gap between two of my teeth, but I love that my smile is big and loose. I love that I ineract easily with cats and dogs, and I love that they almost always enjoy interacting with me too. I love that I like to read and that I like to take pictures too. I have a wide set of interests, and I always see a lot of good in other people. The point is, even though I am flawed and should be working on my flaws, it is really important to recognize that I am a very special and good person too. Sometimes I don't take enough time to give myself credit. When I sit down and think about what I love about myself, it makes it easier to approach the things that I don't like with a level head. I'm so happy that I am me and I am becoming the person that I am, and I really hope that you feel the same way about yourself!

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.
