"[M]oments that we question should serve as reminders to figure out what we want on a deeper level"

Life tends to throw obstacles in our path, however, these difficulties help us grow leading us down paths we never would have expected. Lately, days have felt ever so long, especially, during this time of quarantine and regular morning wake ups have allowed me to ponder the idea that even though aspects of life are not what they once were that there is more to come in the future. Knowing that there is more down the road to come for you does not mean that believing it is easy. However, by trusting in new beginnings and the ability to let old memories leave one will have access to experience brand new mornings. The life we live is like that of a rollercoaster; there will be days in which we are left with a loss for words. In which we look at our loved ones wondering, how did I get so lucky to live this great life? On the contrary, there will be nights of pain that leave us sleepless making us ask ourselves when will I see and feel happiness again? The scary thing is there are not always direct answers to these questions and we are forced to continue with the daily tasks of our blurry lives. These moments that we question should serve as reminders to figure out what we want on a deeper level. Taking time to evaluate ourselves will allow us to grow into what we should be. You may feel vulnerable or strong-willed but throughout it all, you should be the gladdest that you overcame what was holding you back, to see things grow even though it took forever. The journey is a healing process and through it, you will learn more and more about yourself. You will eventually build your strength and bloom into who you are suppose to be <3

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?

sisters

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.
