Don't tell me I can't do this. Don't tell me it can't be done.

A Letter To "Those People"

In your life, you will/could be on a great track, doing everything possible to be a good person. You could be curing cancer and there will always be THOSE people who will put you down and make you feel like you're not doing anything right. So this is a letter to those people who wanna try to ruin you before you can really get started in life.

Dear "Those People,"

YOU WILL NOT STOP ME! I am going to accomplish all the dreams I set out to do. I am going to finish everything I start. I will not stop until I've turned over every rock in sight and then some. I am so tired of people like YOU putting me down and making me feel like I'm a bad person. I work harder than you ever will. You may get to me sometimes, hurt my feelings, push me down, but I will ALWAYS get back up. I will always persevere, you know why, because people like you fuel my urge to wanna prove you wrong, I know I'm not perfect, I've made a million mistakes in life, however, how can I do better when I'm constantly being put down. You fill peoples heads with lies and stories about me that are not true. I know who I am and my friends and real family know me for who I really am and they will see through your lies. The thing about people who wanna talk about others and put them down, is that they're overcompensating for something and have people who wanna actually listen to them. YOU may not be happy with your life, you may be jealous for all I know, but that does not make it right to put someone else down who is clearly only human. Also, to those who wanna listen to people talk rudely about others when they knows it's false, you're just as bad as the person talking by instigating it. Here's a couple of sayings you might be familiar with, "Two wrongs don't make a right" and "Don't bite from the hand that feeds you." Therefore, don't take from the person who is helping you or your friend/family, only to put them down in the long run. Also, just because someone did you wrong three years ago, doesn't mean you should constantly give them crap for a mistake. How is a person supposed to build when they've not supporters. That, I believe, is a HUGE issue with our world/society today. There are too many critics and not enough supporters, people to encourage you, in this world. It's about time we stop living by what we hear from the grapevine and start living by loving and supporting one another. The only thing you're accomplishing when you put another person down is making that person lose hope for their futures, their dreams. Don't be that person, encourage and help people to accomplish their dreams. Stop with this grown up bullying and gossiping and be a good person.

Sincerely,

Me, the person who is going to succeed

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
