To New Beginnings

The start of a fresh journey

To New Beginnings
Sadie Stevens

Since I write 24/7, at the end of every month I'm taking a single line from each day that I journal and I'm going to add to create a poem depicting how I was feeling that day. So this is what January has been for me.

Check out the video I made of all the shenanigans I got up to this month!

January: New Beginnings

We made it, enjoy the adventure of finding yourself through losing yourself in me.

Things are really coming together.

Moving along with what I needed to do next.

Today is the day.

Another day bites the dust.

I fell, hard last night and I was okay with it.

I’m still home and in paradise.

Fasting & praying is key.

Things are good, again, I give it to God.

I got way too much stuff on my mind and I don’t know how to write it all down.

I feel good, but my heart still feels torn.

I’ve gotten over what I needed to and moved on.

Since being back here I’ve changed my mindset.

The worst part was him, it always was him.

My brain won’t turn off again.

People have been reaching out.

God paves the way.

I am exhausted.

Waking up in his presence, I readily picked up my devotional.

Growing requires patience.

My brain is on fire.

I feel beaten, battered & bruised but I have a lot more fight left in me.

I dreamt of him last night again.

Nobody can tell me what to do.

Time has been slowing down and I’m not patient enough.

“Slow and Steady wins the race” they say.

Continuous flow of concentrated passion penetrated my mind.

I’m not sure if it’s my mania that makes me be a force to be reckoned with.


January Video!:

I'm just getting started and I'm so blessed for all the cool things I've gotten to experience throughout the month.

Here's to Feb!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
