Here's To New Beginnings
me

The time of year has come yet again. It always does. The feelings mixed: fear, excited, confusion, whatever it may be,

Endings are hard.

I for one did not realize the comfort I have reached at my university and now feel a rush of fear due to my new beginning. However, so many people are in my boat.

What we are all fearing, the unknown.

All of these emotions natural of course, but to add to it, the emotions we have about what we are leaving behind.

The school year, the life we lived routinely, and everything that came with that. The decisions that some did and did not define us, the information learned and stored to better us, and the every day doings that are going on a brief hold for something else.

Every ending is a new beginning.

Everything going to happen in your life has probably not even happened yet. Scary right? Wrong. Exciting.

This is just the start.

Leaving what you know is always going to hard but we can never grow and learn if we don't leave what we know.

Although this school year and everything that came with it is over, tomorrow marks a new day. Maybe the best day, maybe the worst. However, new.

Tomorrow marks the next day of the rest of your life.

So inhale the good and exhale the bad. Remember the good memories and keep them with you as you start to create new good memories.

Remember, summer is short. You will be back before you know it.

The question is.. where is back? Old or new.

The ending is just a new beginning.

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.
