We May Never be Perfect

You are perfect the way you are; not what others think make someone perfect.

We May Never be Perfect
https://www.pinterest.com/elizmoretti2527/life-verses/

We are blessed in so many ways then we could ever imagine. We are blessed by having people in our lives that love us, waking up to the person you love, or just having faith that God has this amazing plan for us and the ones involved in our lives. We are far from perfect, I am far from perfect, you are far from perfect, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

We all have our struggles but I have come to believe that we will find the strength to get through. We are here for reason and I have learned that it is alright not to know where we belong or what exactly we want in life. I know a few things that come to my mind when I picture what makes a perfect person perfect. It is things they enjoy that you can also enjoy along with them, it is putting a smile a persons face and so many more things that make life beautiful.

I have learned through time, experiences and challenges that perfect is not the expensive make-up brand that society makes you want to buy, it is not the price tag on your clothes, the multimillion dollar car that the celebrities are driving. A "perfect" life to me is the things that money can not buy the smile on a person face, friends that give endless amounts of love and advice, waking up to sunrises and watching sunsets, taking pictures of crashing waves on a sandy beach during summer time.

"Perfect" is being in love with who you are as a person, being happy with your life choices, enjoying the small precious moments that money can not buy. I learned if you find happiness and learn to except yourself for who you are everything else in this world will eventually come easier. There is no such thing as being perfect, there will always be obstacles, stress and worry's during our journey on Earth. I promise you that there is a plan, there's a world of things to discover, and you are perfect the way you are.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
