It's Important To Follow Your Dreams

There is so much importance to your dreams. They are your desires and hopes for yourself and your future. Dreams are something that you look forward to do your best to pursue. They help to shape you into who you want to be and hopefully, who you end up being.

There are so many things that can stand in your way to achieving your goals and dreams that it may seem like you will never get there. Sometimes the world may make you feel like your dream isn’t enough because you wont be making a million dollars or maybe because it doesn’t seem reasonable. But hey, good thing it’s not their life, and it’s your choice.

There are obstacles that everyone has to face and overcome. There can be struggles financially, physically, emotionally, and mentally. There are times that you hit rock bottom and don’t think that your dreams will ever be attainable, but they will. You can make it with some hard work and dedication. Don’t be discouraged because good things take time. You have to start at the bottom and work your way up, but this won’t necessarily be a bad thing for you. Starting from a low place will make you appreciate when you get to the top of that mountain.

Your dreams give you something to work for. They are something that you eventually reach by taking many steps. Working towards your dreams teaches you patience and determination. It helps to give you a purpose and helps with your own self-fulfillment. The satisfaction of finally reaching your goal is so sweet when you get there.

It’s important to follow YOUR dreams because its YOUR life. Happiness is something that we can create for ourselves and our dreams are a darn good place to start. Whether it’s a career, having a family, traveling, or anything else, don’t let anyone tell you that your dream is unreasonable or not worth it. Dreams are so important to your soul and identity, and I hope that everyone is able to live theirs and make their dreams their reality.

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.
