You know that feeling of hopelessness, well that’s how I felt…

We all might wonder why things happen the way they do. I know I do, but sometimes it’s for the best right? I don’t know how some people can even handle this type of situation. Me on the other hand, I get pretty upset. I mean it is okay to feel upset, it is part of being human. We all have feelings and emotions that need to be expressed at times in our lives. Well, that is what happened to me. It came to my realization how many things I have lost after putting just so much effort into. You know, I don’t think anyone would want to work so hard for something, something happen, and then it seems like you just wasted your time. I hate that. I know that will happen in life, but it is just so frustrating and annoying. Why did I work so hard to get where I am just for something to go wrong. It honestly makes me feel very hopeless. I shouldn’t feel that way, yes I know, but I did. It clearly wasn’t easy to accomplish everything that I did. It took long hours, practice, running all over the place, and no sleep. I will say I’m glad for everything that I accomplished, but then when I try to take another step to something else, it didn’t quite go so well. I just wanted it to better my life and future. This might sound like I am giving up or something, truth is, I am not. I will never give up on anything I want. I’ll do anything to make them happen.

I thought my whole life just went crashing down. But, that is what I thought, after listening to people’s advice, I re-thought my problem. It came to my clear hard-headed self that there is more out there. It isn’t too late for anything as long as you know that you are working for it now to make them happen. Maybe that didn’t hit me because I was just so caught up thinking how hopeless I felt. Now that it hit me, I feel much better, I feel confident, and motivated. At the end of the day, I am aware of my own accomplishments and opportunities I have received. I am satisfied with everything and ready to accomplish more things each day.

For those who might be feeling hopeless as well, don’t quit, don’t give up, keep standing tall and move forward. If you keep feeling the way you do, you’re the only one holding yourself back from doing better things. Stop feeling so afraid, defeated, or just angry. Instead, learn something new and move on. Think about it, at the end of the day, you are the only one who got yourself, your friends or family may support you, but it’s not them creating your life, you are. You have a control of your life, so make it all count. Nothing is worth losing, life will not always turn out the way you want it too, just accept it. I am done feeling so hopeless and I am now ready to move forward and continue the good I have been doing so far.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
