I'm not too worried about what the future holds, and that's ok.

It's the end of my sophomore year of college and there's lots to worry about. Summer internships, moving off campus into a new home, preparing for the upcoming school year, even preparing for what lies ahead after college. Yes, all of these things are very important and should be planned out, but how 'planned out' do these plans have to be?

I believe in a happy medium.

I did plan for a summer internship. But I'm not worrying if it will develop into a job opportunity later down the road. If it does, great! If it doesn't, oh well.

I found a new home for next year, but instead of worrying if I'll stay for the next two years I'm just going to enjoy the time that I have in that new home.

The upcoming school year will kill me, but it is also all major classes, which is all I wanted since freshmen year. So i'm not going to complain. I'm going to enjoy it and be grateful for every second of it. Life, I guess my main point that I'm trying to say here is that people worry way too much. They worry about the future and what lies ahead but really, it excites me. Instead of worrying and planning so far ahead I just chose to live in the moment and enjoy what I have in front of me. Will everything last? Will everything work out? Maybe! But if it doesn't, more oppurtunities lie ahead. You know what they say...when a door closes, another one opens. Life opens up when you do, and simply enjoy every second of it. Life, let alone college, only happens once. So make the best of it! Live in the moment.

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.
