As time passes, we meet new people. We do not expect to see them coming. Certain people come at a certain time. They will change your perspective of the world and teach you new things. Some new things are related to your career goals while other new things are not related to your career goals. These other new things can be little and simple things like learning how to play a sport and learning how to swing on a rope.

When meeting new people, we learn to see the good in others. It helps us build trust in others. It also helps us embrace diversity because we see that stereotypes are not true. We meet at least one person that does not fulfill the stereotype. We learn that people are different from those that they are categorized with.

We learn that we can talk to people that we think are hard to make a conversation with. People say that we should stick to those who have the same interests, mindset, and culture only because it is easier to talk to them. However, we learn that people who are different from us unexpectedly have a connection with us. They like similar things that we like, and there is something from them that we can learn from that can help us improve our lifestyle.

New people can take us to more places that we have never been to before. Experiencing new places expands our knowledge and experience. We go out of our comfort zone and see a different place that is better than where we are always staying at.

We should be grateful to the people that we meet for all the knowledge and experience that they gave us. We will not meet all people in the world, but we will meet those that we will meet.

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.
