If you have never watched Rent, I highly recommend that you do. It tells the story of struggling artists in NY, the show drops some valuable life lessons along with teaching viewers about love, addiction, sexuality, freedom, and the importance of friendship. However, it also depicts each individual character's personality with a deeper insight. Viewers can learn many things from each character, personally, I believe that they learn more from Mimi. Bold, and free-spirited Mimi isn't Afraid to put herself out there nor does she let the past or future stop her, and Although she's sexy and tough, her friends know that she's sweet, and would do anything for them. She's a survivor and would do anything it takes to get by while also being a joy to be around. Her character is just so wonderful you can't help but to love her.

There are six major lessons that I have personally learned through Mimi myself. The first being that the world doesn't stop just because you go through hell. everyone fights their own battles with life it's just all in the mindset and whether or not you choose to learn from it and come out stronger. Second, Don't hold onto the past or dwell on the future... although it may be hard, let go and move on and don't worry too much about the future because we can't control our own destiny. The third lesson I learned is, there is no shame in asking a man out. The worst thing that could happen is that he'd say no if he says no he wants something else and nothing is wrong with you. The fourth lesson NEVER take loved ones for granted. You never know what tomorrow brings and you never really know what you have till its gone. Know what you have once you have it and never let go, and ALWAYS remind those you care about that you love them.

The fifth lesson I learned is live in the moment and live everyday like it's your last. " forget regret or life is yours to miss".

The sixth and final lesson I learned is fighting for love. Love knows no limits, however, if you don't want it enough you don't deserve it .If anything, the important things are worth fighting for.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.
