This Is What She Wants Most In The World

Hint: It's not materialistic.

This Is What She Wants Most In The World
Psychology Today

This is what she wants most in the world: she wants to be loved, be cherished, and for someone to be proud to have her. She wants to be an amazing wife and mother one day. She wants to be successful once she graduates. She wants to be a good friend and daughter. Most importantly, though, she just wants to be happy.

Now, those things won't just come freely. You have to work hard to achieve what you want in life. You won't have someone fall instantly in love with you and want to marry you if you haven't done anything. If you want to be loved, then you have to become lovable. Being successful requires lots of determination and strength. Being a good friend means you have to be there for people, just as they're there for you. But happiness is the hardest of all to achieve.

Happiness can be short-term; one thing can make you happy and it puts you on this emotional high for a bit, then it is over. That is not the kind of happiness people should chase. Happiness is meant to be long-term, and not something that happens every once in a while. To be truly happy is the ultimate dream.

No matter the amount of drunken nights or one night stands, you go back to being your normal unhappy self. For me, to be really happy is to accomplish what was mentioned in the beginning. Those are what I want most in the world. Materialistic things do not matter to me. I don't want new clothes, or a new car, or anything that can be bought. I want experiences that will make me that good wife, friend, or daughter. Let me experience what it is like to be successful for once or what it is like to be happy all the time.

This life has so much to offer me. I am still younger and have many decisions to make in my future. No matter where the road takes me, I will follow it. Let it end in happiness.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
