It's Not You Against The World
http://2m2h.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

It seems like everything is going wrong and everyone is mad at you. Your whole world is crashing down on you and you alone. Nothing is going the way you planned it to and you feel as if you aren't good enough for anything. It's okay. Your world is not over, you are good enough, and things are going to get better.

So things aren't going the way you planned or wanted them to go? That is okay. Things happen in our lives that we have no control over. We have no way of changing them or preparing for them. They just happen. What we can control is how we react and what we do after. React to the horrible thing that happened. It's okay to cry and to show that you're upset. Never be ashamed of your emotions. Stop bottling that up, it's going to make you feel worse. Take that sadness, that emotion, and turn it into a solution. Do not let things ruin your life. Everything is temporary, even the pain you feel. It will subside and you can learn how to adapt.

You are good enough. ALWAYS. Stop thinking you aren't. And chances are, you're the only one who thinks that. You are good enough for that man/woman, you are good enough for that job, that college, that class. You will always be good enough. Just because you were not chosen for something doesn't mean you aren't enough, that just means that you weren't right for it. And there is nothing wrong with that, but never think that it's because you weren't ever enough. You were too much and you need to start believing that.

It is not you against the world. It is you against yourself. Be on your own team and root for yourself because if you don't, who else can you count on? Be kind to yourself, please. You deserve kindness, you deserve happiness. Things get rough and you will get hurt, there is no stopping that. But please do not let yourself be one of those things. The world is here for you, now you have to start being there for yourself too.

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.
