If You Want To Create A Long-Lasting Impression, Be Truly Original

Being original is a trait that has gone through its share of ups and downs many times. So what exactly does being original mean? In my opinion, being original is when a person stays true to him or herself under the extremest circumstances. Being original refers to a person's unshakeable self-confidence when it comes to expressing their talents and interests.

For instance, there is no benefit in mimicking another person when it comes to their body language, behavior, voice, or even appearance. This type of mimicry will just end up showcasing your cowardice and how scared you really are in further revamping yourself. You wouldn't want to not effectively use your innate creative license just for the sake of showing-off! In other words, everyone should begin introducing their ideas, talents, and interests from a slightly unique angle. We wouldn't want to be part of a world that is more similar than diverse!

Currently, the world is lacking the taste of originality because most people are more inclined towards remodeling the actions of others. In pop culture, many music videos are now remixes taking and remodeling the lyrics and background score from a former popular musical composition. This is something that further adds to the fact that we are all attracted to the works of others becoming more appealing as opposed to working diligently towards bringing out the best in us. We are the future and the world will benefit magnificently from what we attribute thus increasing the amount of vibrant diversity in the world. When you drift away from portraying yourself in the truest light possible, you are actually disrespecting yourself and your talents. Strive to impress the world with your personality in order to create that larger than life first impression.

This will come in handy when you are preparing for the potential job interviews which could ultimately pave the gateway towards your dream job. Let's be real, you wouldn't want to miss out on awesome job opportunities just because you couldn't showcase your eye-catching personality. Indeed, being true and original takes you way far in life than you may ever expect.

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?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
