Speak It Into Existence

Speak what you seek until you see what you’ve said. Sounds simple, right? That’s because it is. Whatever your dreams and aspirations may be, speak them into the universe, and I promise it’ll listen.

You ever notice when you randomly speak of someone and then they all of a sudden appear in some form or fashion? That is because you spoke them up. The same goes for everything else, big or small. You want to have a super great day? Wake up in the morning and say it aloud to yourself. I guarantee your day will go much better. You want to land a really awesome internship next summer? Tell yourself every single day, several times a day, and it will be bound to happen. I live by this motto -- speaking things into existence -- and it has worked so many wonders in my life.

I learned that when you speak in a certain way, invoking your wants and needs, the universe listens. One prime example of this was during my time in high school. Ever since my freshman year, I had always said, “I am going to Spelman College.” At that age, I really had no idea what it took to get into college, but I was certain that I was going to go and it was going to be at Spelman. Senior year rolled around and just about the whole school knew where I wanted to go. I put that statement out into the universe for years and, sure enough, applying early decision, I was accepted and am now attending Spelman College. I spoke my dream into existence.

Spring semester of my sophomore year, I decided that I wanted to study abroad in England at Goldsmiths, University of London. Every day I would tell myself or someone around me, “I’m going to London in the spring of 2016.” A lot of people did not believe me, but it did not matter because I believed in myself. Having recently completed the application and waited patiently for a response, I was officially accepted into the program and will be spending my spring semester of my junior year abroad.

Those are just a couple of the many remarkable things that have happened in my life because of my belief in speaking things into existence. If you want to hear of another extraordinary story about a man who spoke something incredible into his life, you can check it out here.

It’s an amazing feeling when you see your wants and needs turn into realities. Give it a try! Every day, speak something into the universe and watch the many wonders of it unfold.

In the words of the great JK Rowling,Words are the most inexhaustible source of magic we have. It is the power of the tongue that shapes our present and molds our future.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
