The Sun Always Rises and Sets

The Sun Always Rises and Sets
Tori Tredinnick

The way life should be dealt with can best be easily described as when the sun rises and the sun sets each day. Each day, no matter what happens, no matter how it happens, nothing affects the way the sun rises and sets.

The sun doesn't let anything get in it's way. It knows it only has one shot to live, and no matter what the weather, good, bad or somewhere in between, the day will eventually come to a close. The sun will set, just to rise the next day.

The sun has seen a lot during its lifetime, and each year, as it goes through its seasons, it never once stopped giving light, and being figuratively happy. And sure, it's cloudy some days, or storming, but the sun is always still shining even though it's not at full force.

In addition, the sun never stops rising or setting because someone thinks it isn't as beautiful as it should be. But, even though the sun doesn't always get recognition, it doesn't mean its any less perfect, so just because you aren't always acknowledged, or your achievement aren't always seen, it doesn't mean you're worthless. Because on day, people will realize you were the most perfect sunset because you rose every morning, and didn't let people dictate how you felt about yourself.

We should learn from the sun, and it's crazy ways. It doesn't let what happens around itself ruin it's day, even if it has a bad day, it still find way to shine and to be happy. It knows, that even the worst days always come to an end, and that it'll have a chance to shine even brighter the next day. We should learn that we shouldn't let others dim our inner sun, or demean it in any way, and even if that does happen, our days will end and the sun will rise again.

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.
