To Whoever This May Concern

Be the reason for change.

To Whoever This May Concern

The world needs you. Someone somewhere needs you. Quit living your life in a lie. Quit caring what others think. Quit thinking you aren't good enough. Quit overthinking. Quit anything negative in your life. You are still here for a reason. But you must go out and find that reason. You are loved. You are cared about. You are needed. You are enough. The world can be cruel but don't be the one who makes it worse. Go out and make a change. Make the most of your life. Fulfill your dreams. Don't let fears overtake you. No fear is so a fear to big to overcome. Share your stories. Shoot your shots, even if you miss. A mistake made is a memory lost or regretted. Don't be afraid of who you are. Don't be afraid of pain. Quit living in the past. There is so much ahead in the future that you'll miss if you don't take the risk. You might have a few downfalls, but you will always have a major come up if you leave the past behind you. You win some and you lose some because perfection only exists in God. Stop beating yourself up over everything that doesn't work in your favor. Cry, get yourself back on track, and move on. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in great ways." Never believe anyone who downs you, they are only scared of the great things you can do. Live the life you want. Be the person you want. Strive for greatness. Love yourself. Be truthful to yourself. In the end, you can say you lived a life of greatness but only if you make it that way. You choose what you want to do, so choose wisely.

Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
