One in a Million

What are you dreams? What do you really think the meaning of life is? Could you possibly believe that you were meant to go to school, go to work, then die? Could the amazingly beautiful intelligence that positioned the earth in a mathematically perfect distance from the sun (which keep in mind is a mathematically exact, burning circle of fire) want only for your existence to be but a fluttering spark in the presence of totally darkness? Would you reconcile that the precision, accuracy, efficiency and effectiveness that gave way to your biological birth was merely only so that you could experience fleeting moments of happiness, to few and far in between? To say that your existence is a miracle is an immense understatement.

Biologically we all know the story of our creation but have we really taken the time to analyze our conception? Let’s take a moment to break this all too forgotten scenario that we all at one point played a role in down, I mean it was us being conceived right? So basically this sperm cell came along and fertilized an egg; one male component and one female component. From the fertilization of the egg comes a period of about 9 months where cells divide and transform at such an astonishing and rapid rate that arms, legs, a head, organs, a circulatory system, hair, nails, eyes, eye-lashes, ears, a nose, lips, a digestive system and a reproductive system all form. So basically we can conclude from this that a simple sperm and egg cell come together, some magic happens, then there is this tiny body which appears 9 months down the line. Okay now if you don’t think that’s INSANE (in a miraculously cool way) then nothing is. Now let’s go on to talk about your consciousness; your likes, your dislikes, what makes you happy, what makes you sad, what makes you the individual that YOU are.

So just for arguments sake let’s say consciousness and the physical body are separate then at some point come together. A more favorable illustration is that of a soul and a body. So you have this awesome, amazing, individually astounding soul that decides to come to this, just as awesome body. Your soul or consciousness is everything that you are. You come to this body with a list of preferences, which came about... How? For instance, your favorite food could be pizza yet someone else might be repulsed by just the smell of a pepperoni and cheese. Black makes you happy, black makes me sad. I love smart-cars, you think they’re for dorks. Roller coasters are totally fun to me, for you someone would have to sedate you to even get your near that “horrific ride of terror.” It’s pretty cool to know that there will never be another person like you in the history of creation with exactly the same looks and same preferences. Come to think of it, that would make you one in infinity. That would make you the rarest thing in all of creation.

To be rare is to be unique. To be unique is to be special. To be special is to be worthy. Worthy of love, worthy of attention, worthy of admiration, worthy of joy, worthy of happiness. So as being something so unique, so special, so worthy anything therefore must be possible for you unless you think that it’s not. So we kind of went over how much of a miracle life is and since you’re very much a part of life you should see how you’re the biggest miracle of them all. So what are your dreams? What do you think is the meaning of life? I think you’re so special that you can be, do, or have whatever you want. I think you’re so special that the sun itself was created just to shine on you and give you light in the darkness. I think you should take time to really think about who you are and the impossible way that you have individually realized yourself here on planet earth. Dream big because your very existence makes anything you can think of possible. Think about it…

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.
