New Year, Better Mindset

Have a different mindset this year.

What do many people say when a new year arrives? "New Year, New Me." This is an incorrect statement to many people who do not go through with their expectations and goals for the new year. Everyone wants to change for the better, but some people do have a full grown plan to change themselves or the positivity around them to help them reach that goal. People want to see you change, but many people say actions that they never act upon. It makes many people think what people are really serious when they say, "New Year, New Me." I would never say that saying because I will not change physically, but most likely have a better mindset to put up with the problems I may have to deal with in the long run. A new year should be new problems and mistakes, but better solutions to get through those obstacles in your way. I want everyone to know that a new year can be a restart button for everything you had done in the past year and changing for the better, not for the worst.

As the new year of being 2017, people must realize that to start off changing yourself in the right direction setting goals is necessary. When you are setting goals do not say you will do it, but make the actions to complete it. People love to say words, but when no action are put into thought, nothing is done. You will make a few mistakes, but actions are what will make a huge difference whether you do it correctly or not. Mistakes are good as long as you learn from them after committing them. The new year is just a saying for people to "change," but not many people change because they'd rather state change than do it. Meeting expectations is great and most people must always begin from small steps. Small steps need to be taken before taking large steps and goals must be obtained before ever trying to jump to conclusions. People must realize that a better mindset for the future is far more important than a mindset that no one ever imagined they could have. Think before you act upon something.

Alright guys, to wrap things up, the message I am trying to send is a new year can change you efficiently. It is up to you to change yourself and not that "New Year" mentality that comes across. I want others to know that life comes with boundaries and leaps you must take before falling. I love that everyone has ideas, but no action leads to failure of ever making that idea bloom. A person must fall before they can get back up and find out why they fell before progressing. A new year may or may not benefit, but it's up to you.

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.
