Tomorrow Is A New Day

In This Article:

These past two weeks have been a world wind to say the least. Life has been hard and it is difficult to put a smile on your face when it feels like everything is out to get you. Last week I crushed my computer screen and did not do too great on one of my accounting tests. That was extremely difficult for me because I was not expecting for those two things to happen and they both took a hot minute to wrap my head around and move on from. But at the end of each night I would read my bible and study my devotion and pray to God and He kept saying to me “Ellie tomorrow is a new day". And that's correct- tomorrow is a new day where you can either wallow in your sorrows are you can get up and make it a good day. Last week did not get any better....I woke up late for my accounting class and as I was jogging to class my knee gave up and I fell down a hill and then as if it could not get worse, it started to rain on me. As I was walking into class I knew something was not right with my knee so I asked my mom if we could go get it checked out when I was home this past weekend. She agreed but the news we got was something that I prayed I would never hear again- I had retorn my ACL. I immediately was in shock and I thought I myself how did this happen? I was just jogging to class. Needless to say I stayed in my bed for the rest of the day deep in my feelings and watching tik tok till dinner. That night when I was reading my bible and studying my devotional, I was reminded of what God had told me the previous week “Tomorrow is a new day". That is what is getting me through this season in my life-leave everything in the past because there is no point dwelling on the negatives when you could be making positive memories instead. Choose happiness always.

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.
