So here's the deal... We need to get our stuff together. I don't care who you support, why you support them or your basis to engender hate, but it needs to stop. Why must everything be a divide? Furthermore, why do we feel the need to disrespect the place that we call home? Let me tell you one thing, these little riots and marches will do nothing. They will accomplish nothing. I am a woman, yes, but do I feel the need to go and make a mockery of the United States and protest all the rights that women don't have, but men supposedly do? No. We have all the same rights as men. We made it... there is no need to be wearing vulgar costumes and wasting your breath. Even more infuriating-- the burning of our flag. How disrespectful could you be to burn a flag that men and women are out fighting for? I think it's plain and simple-- if you don't like it, leave. I get you have freedom of speech, and blah blah blah, but this is a step further than that. When you disrespect that flag, you disrespect the families whose baby didn't come home from overseas. The veteran in the wheelchair without legs-- you are invalidating his sacrifice for you to even have the right to do that. I'm sorry, America, but it has gone too far. We are better than this, and we need to get a grip. God is not going to let us fail, He has our back. Trust in him, and I guarantee we will succeed in anything we do, big or small.

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.
