It is never too late to start a new resolution!

A New Year and Shockingly the Exact Same Me
manyhappynewyear

Jumping into a black hole, hoping there is ground on the other side!

Maybe there will be oxygen.....

water,

food,

shelter,

love.

A desire to find these keys of a lifetime. We continue to search without a resolve. How may times shall disappointment change us?

Yes, society hurts us, we all know the constant pain. Piercing and long, it's like ripping a band-aid with no end. Disappointment, being our friend in the path of comparison, as social beings. Yet we cherish its value. This relationship scientist wish to understand, however, it is not one represented by equations or numbers.

There is no constant variable now, nor there will be one in the future. We can only watch variables that change with admiration. It is a principle, not a quantity.

A new form of numbers that shall never be defined...only undefined.

As a ray of light,

Or a strand of hope,

this string of conscious,

cries as a faint sound of success.

It's all we shall ever know.

As a rolling tide, stronger than any Tsunami.

In spite of the power, even this force eventually subsides. Just as the clouds in our sky, forever passing. Just as the good time's rage on and the bad moments come to the past, we begin a new.

Reviewing ourselves as constant lab experiments, we treat ourselves with such disrespect. It is as if we search for meaning, hoping we never find one. Even so, we reach a tipping point, breaking this reflection, making every day, January 1st.

It is here in time you find those who smile a little brighter and laugh a little harder, Always able to find the milk and the honey in these moments. Seeing our breath as air, they simply walk on water, forever like a weightless boxer. They float like a butterfly and sting like a bee, without effort.

How Ali would be proud, seeing the brightest tomorrow from a shining today. These are the people who look to their new year's resolution's with envy, knowing every day they can start a new goal. Every day is New Year's day, all it takes is one breath.

Their habits instilled and their mind not to waiver. Seeing themselves as a constant manifestation of growth. A flower that forever blooms or a tiger who won't stop growing. Their genius shall carry them over others.

Such a genius allows them to look past every social construct. Their goals, always possible. So as 2017begins, remember, it is never too late to begin a new.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
