Perfection Doesn't Exist, Just Create

Sometimes my songs rock, other times not!

We crush our creativity the moment we let fear slip in and tell ourselves, "Why do you keep trying, when you know this might never lead to anything?

If that's you saying those things to yourself - STOP.

Let go of that person in your head insisting that everything you do/create must hold a purpose, in order to be seen as important.

It's time to just create to CREATE!

Personally, my art is just MY art. It can be messy, unfinished, broken, beautiful, structured, abstract and random- all at the same time! ( and I am fine with that!)

If it gives you the joy to sing your heart out, even though you don't hold the voice of Adele, still sing.

I plan to write for as long as I can, no matter where it does or doesn't lead me.

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.
