Another Open Letter To You
Mix Cloud

Dear You,

Wow, seriously it's been awhile. When was the last time we talked?... 2015? I'm sorry I took a break for awhile, I really needed to think... and ya know, in that time I've watched you flourish.
Yea, 2016 was a really rough year, I really didn't think it was going to be! It's crazy how true the domino effect can be, how one little thing can make life spiral faster than the galaxy you are in right now. I hope you've been doing well lately, I mean, we are only 2 or so months into 2017, just look at all that you've accomplished!
You've gotten up from bed every day, you've completed your daily tasks, you've eaten, you've slept, you've learned, you've grown.You are in no way the same person that you were the last time we talked, hell I'm probably not the same either, you probably didn't even remember me, but hey, that's okay. I understand, we both saw different people, different things; we gained so much and lost so much at the same time. It's funny to think that is what has morphed into one my own biggest fears. The fear of losing... basically anything.

I think that is the key to overcoming your fears, if you give them power, and trust me! It's really hard not letting the one thing that could affect you most get the best of you. The last time we spoke I told you that I knew how much you were going through already, how much you have been through. You have so much more in store for you, and I'm so proud of you. When all the world's biggest fears come crashing in through the window, and you just want to shut everything out it can be really hard to see all the good that has happened, especially in the past two years, but you can't lose hope.

Losing hope is probably one of the scariest things to experience. It is the epitome of despair, and it can infect everything else in your life. I was there once, everything was so dark that I couldn't even breathe. I was too overwhelmed, and there was too much I buried deep inside me until the pressure was too immense, and one day I just kind of exploded.

Now, let me tell you, from that single explosion created the most powerful, beautiful, and greatest being ever, you. It brought your family, your friends, your experiences, your talents, dreams, fears, every bit of life that you know, and what a big bang that was.
Regardless, if there is anything I want you to remember from what I've learned it is this:“For a star to be born, there is one thing that must happen: a gaseous nebula must collapse. So collapse. Crumble. This is not your destruction. This is your birth.”

Truly forever yours,
The Universe

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

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?
