Perks Of Living In The Moment
Asiahna

I'm a spur of the moment type of person. Now a days 90% of the plans you make are cancelled for whatever reason, no matter how long you have planned it for. I honestly don't believe in it anymore, I take every single one made with a grain of salt. I am the type of person who will go on a walk at 12am if you asked me to. Or a random chill sesh at 2.

The thing with life is that it changes constantly so plans tend to fall through. I choose to live in the moment and see what happens. This can be simple things like taking the scenic way home, or randomly going for a car ride with your bestfriend. When you're not waiting for something to happen the quality of your happiness goes up too. Now would you want a series of failures or random nights you'll always remember?

Taking those nights off when you were supposed to go out are equally as rewarding too. Living in the moment comes with a variety of different options wether it's leaving your house or a night in the bath with a candle and cup of wine. You gotta treat yourself to new experiences as well as catering to your mental state. It's okay to say no to things too so you can nap for the day.

You go with the flow of life and your quality of living is better than ever. Of course you still have to do adult things but knowing that your free time is just that can change your outlook.

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.
