Understanding The Concept Of Change

You cannot move forward in life without change, so stop giving it a negative connotation.

The plot of your story cannot continue without change. Courtney Pepperell said "you can't skip chapters, you have to read every line and meet every character. You won't enjoy all of it. Some chapters will make you cry for weeks.

You will read things you don't want to read. you will have moments when you don't want pages to end. But no matter what you have to keep going. Stories keep the world revolving, so live yours and don't miss out".

A humans life is like a storybook because your life has a plot, different settings, main and supporting characters, themes, and most of all change. But understanding the concept of change can be difficult, especially when it comes to people.

It is important to understand that change is inevitable. You can't move onto the next chapter without some sort of change, spiritually, mentally, or physically, otherwise, you are just turning pages without an end.

People changing is a normal thing, so stop treating others as if they aren't supposed to change. To get from chapter one to chapter eighty-nine of a book, you have to turn or change the page. If you don't change the page you will remain STUCK on the same page.

People change for themselves not others, but circumstances influence that change. The change occurs because their mind has been opened and they have released things that no longer benefits them.

When a person changes their mind or perspective on something it is not your job to change it back. Your mind is supposed to change; the evolving of the mind is inevitable. People are under no obligation to be the same person they were a year, month, day, or even five minutes ago.

You have the right to grow. You do not have to showcase the same behavior or attitude in order to still be you. You are whoever you want to be. Whether you were a cowboy yesterday and a mermaid today does not matter. You are allowed to try on different you's until you find the one that fits.

We as a society need to stop giving change a negative connotation. Change is what keeps that world running. Without change, America wouldn't be America, we wouldn't have the technology that we have today. Change is a very very good thing and I wouldn't be able to proudly look into the mirror without it. Yell it with me, CHANGE IS GOOD!!

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!
