Looking Back At 2016

During the first couple weeks of January most people tend to look back on the past year. People look back at the good times, the bad times, and then decide what they can do in the next year to make it an even better year. Another thing I see people doing and even catch myself doing is second guessing choices we've made in the past year when we look back at it. For a couple days now I have really been hard on myself whether I've always made the best choices with everything in the past year. For many people these choices can be financial, personal, professional, and many other things. One of mine that I've been looking back at has to do with past relationships and breakups. Although every person might have a different choice they are second guessing, I feel as though we can all take the same advice I am about to give. When you look back at choices from the past year I want you to really put yourself back into that exact time of the decision. Chances are, given that exact situation again you would make the same choice. Now if you still don't agree with me on this, think of it this way. I truly believe every single thing happens for a reason. Sometimes things happen so that you can learn and grow from it. Now if something is really meant to be then it will be. In my case, if I am really meant to be with someone, we will find our way back. If you life life full of regrets, you will never be happy. Life is all about living and learn. If you want to change one thing this coming year, try your best to think as positive as you can. A more positive mind creates for a more positive life with better outcomes.

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.
