1. Nobody is perfect.

Yes, Hannah Montana was right. Be patient and remember that others will make mistakes, you just have to love them anyway.

2. Not everyone will like you.

I know it's hard to believe, but sometimes no matter how hard you try, people just won't like you.

3. #2 is not a bad thing.

You don't need everyone to like you, so don't try too hard to get those people on your side. The people who really matter won't need a reason to like you, they just will.

4. Always be genuine.

If you want the people that really matter to stick around, you've got to make sure you're giving them your best, and nothing less. Be good to people for no reason, always.

5. Focus on yourself every once in a while.

It's okay to be selfish every now and then and realize that you need some "me time" in order to get away from the world and keep yourself healthy and happy.

6. Take a deep breath.

Everything gets better in time. Don't let something small get to you. Take a breath, be strong, and remember that it will get better.

7. Be supportive.

If someone is excited about their accomplishments, build them up. Even if you don't understand why it's so important to them, the fact that they find it important is all that matters and they would love to know that you are cheering them on.

8. Don't take life too seriously.

One of the most important things in life is to have as much fun as you can. Laugh a little more and worry a little less.

9. Know that you are loved.

Things get hard sometimes, I get that. But you are loved. Every single day, by so many people, you are absolutely loved.

10. Say your prayers.

Sometimes you're going to feel alone, but I can promise you this: you're not. God is always ready to listen. Taking a few minutes out of your busy day to talk to the one guy who will never leave you is far more important than you think.

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.
