To The Person Who Is Trying

You have a special gift to offer the world and others around you, whether you see it or not.

To The Person Who Is Trying

There's no feeling in the world like not feeling happy with yourself. For whatever reason that may be, I'm here to tell you you're doing an amazing job. Whether you have no one really on your side rooting for you, or whether you lost the person who was your biggest supporter, or for any other reason, you're still here and your life matters.


I want to remind ever lost soul, even you the person reading this, that you're enough. You have influences in your life you have no idea about.You are in this world for a reason and in your lifetime you have a contribution to make. No matter how big or small that may be, you will make a change. Whether it be to one person, or thousands. You are amazing and I know you want to give up sometimes and I know you don't feel like you're going to impact anyone. That's the Devil talking, I'm here to remind you, your impact is needed in this world. You have a special gift to offer the world and others around you, whether you see it or not.

You may have had a really rough upbringing, or an amazing upbringing, that doesn't define how a person feels. Even the riches of folks get sad. Your actions define you and define the impact you make in this life. Whether you come from a trailer park, or come from a 3-story mansion, your actions in the end will define you. You're going to change the world, whether it be the world for one person or a 100 or 10,000. Don't let your potential go wasted. Be the person you need in your life. Be the person who learned, grew and became a better person from your situation. Don't let the potential you have in this life wasted because ONE person told you that you couldn't do it. Until you give up, you're still trying and that's just plain awesome. You haven't given up, you're proving your "haters" wrong and you're going to be successful.

Like with this article, if I've reached out to one person, I've accomplished something. I'm here for a reason, just like you. My reason is to remind people of the blessings they currently have in their life, compared to all the negativity surrounding them. Focus on the light, on the good, and the good Lord will see you through your troubles and help you overcome any battle you're facing. Whether it be small or big, he will deliver.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

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!
