Steps of Letting Go
youtube

The funny thing about letting go is that it can apply to everything whether that is letting go of a boy or girl, letting go of something that made you mad or sad, or letting go of a memory that is either driving you insane or does no good for you any more. Letting go is a step in living a happy life. Happy life as in getting rid of the little tiny things that bother you that do not even apply to your life anymore.

1. Find something else to worry your mind with or think about. Because most the time you are letting things bother you it is probably because you are thinking too hard or too much about it.

2. Give it time. All things fade in time and it is true, but at the same time you have to let things go as well. The things that bother you, remind yourself that they shouldn't bother you.

3. Find a hobby. Make yourself completely utterly busy with something else that you don't even bother yourself with thinking of what you're trying to forget.

4. Accept the fact that you will not completely forget, just accept that and you'll realize that in time things won't bother you anymore. You'll slowly learn to forget the way you felt in his or her arms, the stupid thing you said, or those awful memories.

5. Learn from whatever you're trying to let go of. If there is something good to come out of whatever happened, learn from it so it does not happen again. Accept what has happened and learn from whatever mistakes occured or whatever there is to learn or gain out of the experience.

Everyone has something going on in their life and it is important to take that and grow from it. It may suck no and it will probably suck tomorrow, but maybe a month from now the storm will have passed and everything will be better. So learn and grow and be the best person possible so you can move on from those troubles and never worry of them again. Remember no matter your past you're amazing as long as you keep learning.

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.
