Surround Yourself With Flowers

No dead ones either, please.

Surround Yourself With Flowers

Surround yourself with flowers.

What does this mean?

Think of your favorite flowers. Now try and place them into every aspect of your life.

Water them. Breathe them in and take in every ounce of oxygen they produce.

Take care of them and nourish them, but make sure you breathe in around them.

You'll soon find yourself happier with the flowers in your life.

You'll probably be smiling more, breathing better, and more easily.

The world will probably seem brighter.

Now, imagine these flowers as people.

Keep good people in every aspect of your life.

Weed out the dead ones, but hold closely to the good ones.

Give to them the good qualities of yourself.

Your knowledge, drive, intellect, and spirit.

And take as you give.

See, we as people tend to adapt and thrive from our surroundings.

We see patterns and easily fall into them.

If we are surrounded by toxicity, we tend to produce toxicity.

It's much harder to be motivated when you're surrounded by unmotivated people.

This is why you need to surround yourself with like-minded people and reach an end goal together.

Nourish yourself in their knowledge and ambition, and give them back what you can.

Please, surround yourself with flowers.

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?
