Patience is Key

For a good life

Patience is Key

Life can be very challenging at times. There are weeks that are so horrible. It seems as though nothing is working out the way you were intending it to. You complain your week away and repeat it over and over again. While you're complaining, you're also working and pushing yourself. Changing your perspective on your life as you go along. Finally, one day you wake up and your life seems so different. Everything seems to be working out for once. All of your wishes have become realities. All of your late night thoughts have come and gone and some have even happened. Life changes before our eyes.

Although, it's difficult not being able to force things to occur the way we want them to, patience is key. I've had these bad weeks before. Where nothing goes my way. I remain patience even though it's really tough. But then my bad weeks turn into a couple good weeks and I stop complaining as much. I stop complaining and I just soak up all of the good that is happening around me. I laugh a little more and worry a little less.

You see, we need both the good and the bad weeks in our lives. Because if weren't forced to go through the bad, we would take the good for granted. We wouldn't know what patience and perseverance really looked like.

Try to take the bad weeks and turn them into good weeks. Because with a little patience it will really happen.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
