Sometimes in life you’ve just gotta lose. Yes I said it lose, fail, fall short, but just don't stay there.

In life its necessary to fail because in that failure you find your strength and are made aware of your weaknesses. Finding out your weaknesses is the best thing you could ever do. Of course no one ever wants to talk about failure but the truth is you’re the greatest in your failure. We must have this conversation because failure is inevitable. Everyone at some point fails at something but if you don’t know how to learn from that failure, you will allow that one mistake to overtake you and keep you stuck. In order to overcome failure you must realize the lesson in it, that lesson will ultimately help you during your success. Sometimes life presents you with those moments where things seem as I they are falling apart but don’t give in to the pressure, just embrace the moment and remember you are still here. Use that energy to allow yourself the strength to allow thing to fall back together because they always come back together. As long as your heart is beating there is still time for greater to occur in your life. Enjoy the good times but when the rough times come enjoy those too for the rough times teach you more than the good times ever will. One day you'll look back over your life and see that all of those moments were worth it after all. I was taught that you dont deserve to celebrate the reward if you weren't willing to celebrate and enjoy the process. Remember process lasts longer than anything else. You can make it but dont be afraid of failing . Let the failure propel you to greater heights with deeper motivation and passion. You can make it!

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.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.
