'Uptown Girls' Taught Me To Live My Life For Myself

Do you remember when you were a child and you had all sorts of dreams? Do you look back and think to yourself and realize some of those dreams are crazy? Like the old sang goes there is no such thing as a stupid question, well there's no such thing as a stupid dream.

Sometimes life needs to get crazy and chaotic for us to find our path. The movie 'Uptown Girls' teaches us this great moral lesson between two different people. This movie is a classic between two different characters. The characters Molly and Ray are at different stages in their life. Opposites I would say. The eight-year-old Ray acts like a sophisticated adult, while the twenty-two-year-old Molly acts like an eight-year-old. Along the way Ray finally budges and learns that she needs to break free and not to be so uptight.

No matter how different our paths are in life we can find friendship and we can build each other up.

To be successful in life does not mean having money and being rich. Being successful is reaching our dreams, big or small. In the words of Rachel Hollis other people's opinions don't matter. Live your life you don't have to have other people's permission to live out your life. We live in fear and thinking that we need permission to live out our dreams. The truth is we don't. We will learn that the people that stick by us will support us and the ones who don't will slowly drift away. We need more people in our life that encourage us and keeps our motivation going.

That is what this movie teaches us. It teaches us that we may want a lot of things in life like money and love, but we need to work on ourselves first.

Everything starts with a dream.

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.
