A Quote That Inspires Me To Chase My Dreams
We Heart it

My laptop is literally like Hoarders: Buried Alive;

I think I can call myself a bit of a hoarder in that aspect because I've had my current laptop since I was a freshman in college (I'm currently a senior), and I've collected a fair share of files. I was cleaning my files on my laptops like old papers and such and I stumbled across a piece of writing from like 5 years ago. I mean I was like 16 about five years ago so how that got on my laptop is a complete mystery to me to this very day.

I assumed by the quote on top of the writing was what inspired to write this short inquistive piece. But it's not just the quote that just inspired me recently, it's what I wrote underneath the quote. In a way, it's a short story but in other ways it's just something to think about when you're out there making big life decisions.

I'm pretty sure i'll be using this whenever I need some sort of insight. I'll have to hand it to myself I was actually pretty wise.

"Birds sing after a storm; why shouldn't people feel as free to delight in whatever remains to them?"

- Rose Kennedy

Did you know after a storm that birds sing? Each bird has a different rhythmic tune to sing and every song has a different meaning that makes it special. Perhaps humans should have their own little song to sing after a storm like a carefree bird.

But humans aren't like birds. We as humans are tethered down to something that holds us back from doing what we really want to pursue in life. Birds are free to do as they please. Nothing holds them back from doing what they want. What holds us back from doing that one thing to make us truly happy?

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.
