No Tomorrow

It is time to stop making excuses; live today.

It can be so easy to fall into the mindset of tomorrow, with excuses like, "there is always tomorrow," "I will do it when i am older and have more money," "things are crazy right now, i will do it when things calm down."

The problem is, how often do we run out of time because we keep waiting for tomorrow?

The fact of the matter is that there will never be the perfect time. Humans have a certain talent for making up excuses. If we really tried we could come up with an excuse, probably multiple excuses for anything. Instead, we need to change our mindsets to take opportunity by the horns and make it the perfect time to pursue our dreams. So often people leave their bucket lists until they know that they are running out of time. Their health may be compromised and it is much harder to complete what we spent our whole lives saying we would do.

So why do we not go abroad when we are young? Rarely, will we reach a life stage where we have money, time and energy. So take the chances, gain the experiences and live the adventurous life that you want to. Be brave enough to step our of your comfort zone to accomplish the adventures that you want.

Especially college students, there are so many opportunities to go abroad to travel and experience the world. Now is the time to do it, before working full time, paying numerous monthly bills trying to get by. Use the study abroad opportunities and gain experiences that will last a lifetime. Yes, you can always travel but just because you are 19 or in your early 20's do not fall into the mindset that you are too young and can always travel later.

This mindset goes for anything. Something as simple as i can check this off of my to-do list today. To something as big as wanting to go back packing across Europe, to visit the Grand Canyon or to go sky diving. So often people go through their lives waiting for the perfect moment to live these great adventures. And far too often they kept putting it off and never end up getting around to it.

Planning can be very good. Helping people get organized. But do not plan your life to the point that you never actually get around to what you have spent all of your time planning. Sometimes it truly is best to just...

GO.

Sometimes you need to act like there is no tomorrow. Some days you need to live like it was your last. Eventually you will need to say, "this is the day." To throw yourself out of your comfort zone, you will thank yourself for it later.

Go out and live the adventure that you have been dreaming about.

Go.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
