I Wear My Heart On My Sleeve, And I Would Not Want It Any Other Way

I was always told that wearing my heart on my sleeve is terrible, but now I am coming to terms that it's not.

Here's the thing about me wearing my heart on my sleeve, I mean what I say. I will look at you and tell you exactly what I'm thinking, how I'm feeling and share a lot more than I should. I trust strangers, I am willing to look vulnerable, I am willing to discuss my weaknesses. I don't know how to play games, how to manipulate others to get what I want or how to wear a different mask in public.

I am real. I will show you my scars and tell you my stories. I am not ashamed of my past or my mistakes. I want to make you feel comfortable, I want to make you feel safe knowing I'm not lying to you, I don't have ulterior motives and I'm not trying to get close to you for selfish reasons. I'm talking to you because I genuinely like you, I genuinely want to know more about you. I genuinely care.

I will hug you a little tighter, give you more than one kiss, stay for one more hour and try to keep you in my life. I'm the one who always makes time for you when you need me. I'm the one who remembers birthdays, anniversaries and special occasions. I'm the ones who always remember you and who you are.

My mission is to heal and fix people. My mission is to try to rebuild what others have destroyed. And before you say, "That's not possible, you can't fix people." You may not be able to fully fix someone, but you can sure as hell try to make their life a little better.

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.
