Endings and Beginnings.

It is always painful when something ends. Never easy and always hurts. It’s the end of a chapter in this story that we call life. It’s painful because we will never be able to go back to the way things were. The moments of pure happiness, the looks that you won’t be able to see again and all of the memories that are no longer being made but so many people think that once this happens you must write this person off. Say goodbye and withdrawal into themselves and not be a part of that person’s life anymore. That’s not the way it has to be at all. Ending a friendship or a relationship is painful enough with everything that has to change but when it’s a full 180 change it hurts even more. Remember that when things end that people are hurting. There is no need to pick sides, end friendships or cut ties. There is enough pain going around so remember to love on the people who are struggling while going through it and to remind them that they aren’t alone and that soon, they will have a new beginning.

The beginning of a chapter is scary in and of its own right. You don’t know what is going to happen and you hope and pray that it isn’t the same as every other time you let yourself feel or even hope. Three weeks ago, I took a leap of faith and decided to rush and actually pledge a social club here at OBU. I was incredibly scared and honestly didn’t know if I was going to fit in but I ended up finding some of the sweetest most caring girls id ever met. I feel at home already with my sisters of EEE. I cannot wait to make more memories and spend more time with these incredible ladies. Both ending things and beginnings things are difficult but one would never know what might happen if you don’t jump and try something new.

Start the new chapter

Read a new book

Try something new and fail

Never don’t do something based on fear

Trust in the lord and remember that all things are in his plan and in his hands.

God bless.

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.
