People say that strength is better in numbers. They probably weren't thinking about the Number of times they've been kicked while fighting. Or The number of times they have been lost in the crowds while trying to scream for life. Or the number of times they have been told that they should give up from others or from themselves. The number of times that I have experienced moments like this is astonishing to say the least.

But I have learned how to persevere and how to keep on going even if there is the slightest bit of doubt. And it's scary. It's terrifying to have to keep going when you think there might be a chance that you'll fail but wouldn't it be worse if you quit and lost the chance to succeed? When life gets in the way, you have to remind yourself of why you're here in the first place. What are you supposed to do for yourself to succeed? What is it that makes your dreams and goals feel like they're too good to pass up?

Because no matter what people say or what occurs on your journey, nothing will feel more powerful than the feeling you get when you achieve your goals. All that you have worked for will be for that moment. That moment when you can look yourself in the eyes and tell yourself, "I made it". So do not stop fighting and do not stop trying because you might be closer than you think to achieving victory.

It may hurt like hell but you have to keep pushing.

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.
