A lot of us go through life scared. We ask ourselves: What if? What if things turn out the way I do not want them to?

However, we forget to ask ourselves the following question: what if things turn out the way I do want them to. The chances of either outcome occurring are equal. I believe that everything happens for a reason. No matter which outcome occurs, my life will change and I will end up where I am supposed to. That's just the way things work.

Think about it - if everyone always refrained from following their dreams, nothing would ever get done. However, people are still following their dreams and making stuff happen. How is this possible? It's their mindset. It's their lifestyle. In order to live the life that you want to live, you have to make changes. You do have the power to live out your dreams. Start small and remember that you may fail on the way. It is not a bad thing to fail. It helps you to grow and become the person you are today. The number of times that I have failed and/or thought that there was no getting back up is crazy. However, over time I have learned how to pick myself up faster and I know that I will continue to do so.

So, what do I want you, as the reader, to take from my post? I want you to live every single day as if there was no way for you to fail. Do the things that you thought you could not do. Take the chances you are too afraid to take. You CAN do it. You WILL do it. Put some trust in yourself, and you will grow to be exactly where you want to be.

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?

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. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. 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. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
