Perfection Exists Solely In the Mind Of The Weary

Practice what you preach, or you are preaching nothing but shattered truths.

We always have these expectations of what we think life should be like, but when it doesn’t turn out to be the way we want it to be, we blame everything and anything but ourselves.

We do not correlate our expectations to the things that don’t work out in the long run.

Why?

We are too prideful. We have a set way of thinking on how people should act and be and how situations in our life should be handled, but we never take into account that life is a game full of mystery and questions we will never know the answers to.

We hold our loved ones to such high expectations to how they should act towards us and towards the things we face in life, but when if they somehow have a slightly different outlook, whether positive or negative, on something you had a set opinion on, we blame them and assume them to not understand the situation fully or are just completely wrong.

How does that make us right, or better yet, how does that make us any different from the chaotic assembly of mindless zombies that are too involved in their own pride to see the life that exists out of their own little make-shift reality?

We need to accept people for their differences.

We need to accept people for their perspectives.

We need to learn to respect people for their perspectives.

Stop holding people to such high expectations.

Stop letting negative energies control your thoughts and provoke hate and dissapproval.

Surround yourself with the positive energies and vibes that you wish others carried in their hearts and minds.

Do not practice this mindset if you are not committed to influence others with your newly formed Ohm attitude.

Do not use this newly found and enlightened power to feed your own form of greed.

Be the good you want to see in others.

Be the good you want to see in yourself.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
