Looking Back On Life

Don't forget where you come from

Looking Back On Life
Bailey Ann i

Have you ever just sat and thought about your future?

Not lightly thinking about it but actually thinking and wondering what it holds and how things will change. How you will have a family and friends possibly the job you love and the house you’ve always wanted but then there is also that terrifying moment where you look back.

You look back at everything that has changed from when you were a kid. Family, siblings and now you’re grown and you look back and miss it. You miss waking up every morning and having your parents there, together, having your siblings there and just being together. You miss just having the security that everything would be there every time you came home. But that’s the only sweet thing about change. Even though we always know it’s going to happen and even though nothing can stay the same there is still that comfort that we will always have those memories and will always have those people no matter where we go.

So as things change remember everything that has changed for good.

In my life, it has been a really big change over the past few months. I have moved away from home, my job, my family and everything that I was comfortable with. I had no idea what to expect because I felt like I was losing everything and I didn’t know how to handle it.

But then I just looked around me and remembered that my life is actually pretty incredible. The people I have around me, the love of Christ and just knowing that no matter what I am loved and wanted. So never forget that even though your life Is different and things change that it is still good. There are memories that are so incredibly sweet. Treasure them and continue on.

God bless.

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.
