How To Successfully Become Who You Want To Be

Who are you? Who do you want to be? The questions everyone asks themselves in order to become a functioning person in this world. The first step is canceling out all the people in your life that enable you to blossom. By distancing your mind from negativity you can have room to grow yourself. Even so, you can keep these people in your life if you can grow from them by being stronger than the negative suppressions that come along with it. Most people do not know who they are, and this can hold you back from finding out yourself as well. Here are some quick tips that helped me find more about my place in this world:

1. Find your hobbies, talents, passions in this world to make you feel like you have a purpose

Whether it's golfing, playing cards or simply being outside, everyone has something that makes them feel interested and insightful. These activities should stay close to you.

2. Surround yourself with good people

A positive environment is so important. Keep a close group of people that make you feel truly happy. Have things in common, or different characteristics that will balance each other out and even improve yourself and your weaknesses.

3. Be motivated and sure of yourself

Stop doubting yourself and go for your goals and dreams. The whole concept of becoming the person you want to be only can come if you have the motivation and confidence to make and create your life and self accurately.

4. Don’t hesitate, always keep going

I've learned that if you stop, pause, or hesitate in your uphill self-creation it can mess up the entire cycle. Going backward, or hitting lows in life are all real things if you allow it. Don’t allow these obstacles to come in your life, keep fighting and give life a run for its money. Keep pushing the uphill battle until your feel secure.

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
