5 Ways You Can Be Unbreakable
Kameron Hurley

Adulting is hard. We have so much on our plates that we can barely see what lies in front of us. It is during these times that we might forget what it is like to not be stressed and that's when we let our lives break us down. Here are five words of advice from the unbreakable woman, Kimmy Schmidt, to help you out when life becomes a little too much.

1. Slow down.

Don't think about everything that you have to do within the next three weeks. Just keep moving and take it ten seconds at a time. Trust me, being in the present and taking things in one at a time helps reduce a lot of unnecessary stress.

2. Stay optimistic.

My family has a saying (that I think we stole from Jimmy Buffett): "Attitude is Latitude." If we are positive, then our metaphorical life plane will continue to soar without many problems. But if we let stress and emotion cloud our judgement and become more pessimistic, then we are likely to crash. So just keep Kimmying.

3. Listen to your gut.

Both literally and metaphorically. If you are in need of a food break, then let yourself go and get that food. Also, if you feel like you shouldn't do something or that you should then maybe you should listen to your body and then go from there in a way that makes you feel comfortable.

4. Be confident, even if you just look it.


If you look confident about something, then others (yourself included) may start to believe that what you are doing is good. If you think that your work is absolute garbage all the time, you really aren't going to be happy about it whether or not it is actually good.

5. Don't let life keep you down.



Embrace who you are and what you do and just keep going. Because life gets hard, but it doesn't stop. So why should you?

Now get back out there and be unbreakable!

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.
