Who Are You? | The Odyssey Online

Who are you? What do you stand for? I'm writing this article for the dreamers, for the ones who want to be something in life, you can do it! As a dreamer myself I think to myself doubt, and I want some type of motivation to drive me, but I have to realize that I am the motivation. It's up to me to do the things I want to do in life. I have to get up and do the things I want to do, and not rely on someone to make or influence me to do so. In life doors will open, but it is entirely up to you if you want to go through them.

I was in class the other day and this guy by the name of Brian McIntosh aka B-mac came into the room to talk to the class about how he's been in the outside world. Now previously I had heard from b-mac from a former teacher of mine. I heard this guy had received a job at ESPN, I couldn't believe it, but once I heard b-mac's backstory it all made sense. He was a normal guy like me, but what separates him from the rest of the pack, is his determination and his drive. Anybody can be successful, but you must be ready to grind and do what you need to do. This guy changed majors his senior year, worked part time and to top it off took extra classes at UNC. B-mac had an unwilling drive to go after what he wanted, nothing could stand in his way.

You have to breathe success in order to be successful, I learned that a long time ago. Only you know how much you want something, if you want something really bad, go for it. Never have barriers or boundaries as to what you can do and what you are capable of. You can do anything you put your mind too. Be the best you can be...

Who Are You? You are amazing! You are ready! Be great!

Holding on to your dream and staying focused is very important....I know I said it once but I will say it again....

Want success as badly as you want to breathe....and not even failure will make you want to quit.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
