Work Hard For Good Things To Come

Life isn't easy, but if you work hard, you will be able to obtain ultimate success.

If there is one thing that my college experience has taught me, it would by far have to be to go after things that you want in life. Nobody is ever going to hand you things on a silver platter and make life that easy.. I've definitely learned to work for whatever it is you want and that nobody is going to push you as hard as you are able to push yourself.

Life is stressful and definitely not easy to manage at times, but in the end, we only regret the changes we didn't take. I have definitely learned a lot about the type of person I wish to be and how I want to live my life, but I have to give myself a pat on the back for working so diligently towards what I want out of life.

It isn't easy, but you need to push yourself and chase whatever it is that you're after! My ultimate goal in life is to obtain the life that I'm ideally after and fill it with happiness, but I am totally aware that I never know what life may bring. It's not easy to push yourself out of your comfort zone and change things up at times, but it is SO beyond words worth it.

Working hard for good things is ultimately so so so extremely rewarding and can only benefit you in the end. Although sometimes in life we go for things and don't get them, working extra hard in the future can only push us to be better and stronger than ever in the end. Life is full of curve balls and constant challenges and it is absolutely so essential to do all that you can to live a happy and good life for yourself!!!!

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
