Make it count

This Year Will Be The Year
Babybumpapp

It's that time again... Back to school. As the new semester approaches and the start day nears I'm already stressed out. Like any other college student I already feel overwhelmed. I haven't meet teachers yet or met any classmates and I'm already having anxiety. Lecture halls haven't began, homework hasn't been assigned and tests haven't been scheduled and I already get a churning feeling in my stomach. However this semester is going to be different. This time I'll never be in class alone, I'll always have someone to help calm my test anxiety and soothe my nerves when huge assignments are assigned. My daughter will be growing inside me while I try to grow my knowledge to provide her with a brighter life. I've always worked hard for my own goals, my greater good, my future, but now I want to make everyone proud. My parents, siblings, nieces, nephews, my boyfriend and my daughter. At the end don the year I want to walk across that stage knowing I've held nothing back and knowing I gave all my effort on every assignment, scored as high as I could on every test and not only made the grade but also made an impact on the present as well as the future. This year will be a big year, my year, OUR year. So today I promise myself, my family, friends, teachers, my daughter, as well as everyone reading this, I'm gonna do it 100% .

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.
