To the girl who doesn't have her shit together, like at all,

Its 7:50am and you were supposed to leave for class 10 minutes ago, but you overslept..again. Most likely, your only exercise for the day will be across campus to your 8:00am. You put on your good sweatshirt (the one with only 1 coffee stain) and head out the door, totally not ready to face the day. You're tired all the time, and every day feels like a Monday morning. You wear leggings and sweatshirts every day because you're constantly "over it" and at this point Starbucks pretty much runs in your veins. You are sick of being let down. You want to give up. Procrastination is your middle name and lately it seems like you've been having more breakdowns than breakthroughs.

SO WHAT! So what you don't have your life together and so what if you're a hot mess. Don't give up.

Nobody does life at the same pace, NOBODY. Everyone has a different journey and that's okay. Remember, "life is a marathon, not a sprint" and crap like that. But really, don't get so hung up on what everyone else is doing that you forget to live your own life and be proud of the progress you are making. Its okay if you don't graduate in 4 years, its okay not to get a killer job right out of college, and its okay to wear leggings every day to class. Always do the most you can with whatever you're given. You've got to keep your head up and keep pursuing your dreams. Don't let the crap life throws at you slow you down.

You're trying and thats all you can do. Eventually everything will fall into place, but until it does just keep trying. Its taken me 3 years to realize that life doesn't go according to when I've written and color coded in my Kate Spade planner.

Love, the hot mess in a sweatshirt
