You are what you manifest.

What does this mean? This vague saying has such deeper meaning than what's at surface level. Once you understand the significance of this phrase, your life will never be the same. Let me elaborate further, as I believe that this mantra is beneficial for all. Since incorporating this into my life, I have noticed that my life has changed for the better.

You are in control of your life.

It is easy to blame things on circumstance, fate, or some higher being--especially mistakes or failures. It is in our nature as humans to not take the fall for our actions. Little do you know, you're capable of so much. The first step to comprehending the fact that you have control of what you do is to stop allowing outside forces to affect you.

You are a human on planet earth: simple enough. You have a brain inside your head that is able to dictate a thought, movement, action, and decision. It is designed by evolution and natural selection to use to your advantage. You are your greatest power. Only you can decide what happens in your life.

With that being said, you can control your thoughts. You can control your actions. You can control your decisions.

Don't wait for fate. Don't wait for someone else. Don't wait for the universe. Whatever it is you want, you can have. It sounds like a stretch, but if you do the following it is simple. It is tried and true.

Doing this will never fail you: imagine that you already have what you want.

Take some time aside and think about all aspects of your life: finances, career, relationships, friendships, hobbies, family, leisure, etc. Lay out your goals in a list. Keep them visible at all times. Write them on your bathroom mirror, in your folders, in your notebooks; anywhere that will give you a constant reminder of what your end game is.

Imagine that you have what you want. Whether it be a six figure salary or to be married to the love of your life, if you believe that you have what you want, it will come to you. You must be persistent, consistent, and take the steps you must in order to accomplish your dreams.

This does not mean that you can rely on pure thought alone and your dream life will appear right before your eyes. You must walk the walk, and talk the talk.

Your thoughts and actions will become your reality. If you are negative to yourself, others, and about life, negativity will come back to you. It is like karma; what goes around comes around. You must have a positive head space in order to move forward.

Mindset is the key to your wants becoming yours. You must love yourself deeply. You must be willing to sacrifice everything to get to the final result. If you say you want something so badly, but don’t do what is necessary, you won’t achieve it. You must walk the walk, and talk the talk in order to make progress.

As long as you are putting your best foot forward, the universe will pay it forward.

I'm not expecting you to be perfect. I'm not saying that every day will be absolutely wonderful. There will be days that are tough. There will be trying times. There will be people that will be difficult. All of those situations are there to test you: to see if you truly are in it for yourself.

As long as you are doing everything in your power, the universe will give back. If you put out love into the world, you will receive it. If you work hard at your job, you will get that promotion. If you invest your money or time into yourself, the payoff will speak for itself. Have faith. Be courageous.

You've got this. Keep going.

Again, great things don't come to those who wait. It comes to those who hustle. To those who don't let anything get in the way of them: not even themselves. I believe in you. You are capable of accomplishing so much.

It's easy to lose sight. Don't. When the going gets rough, I encourage you to put in a little extra. Go the distance. That small amount will make the largest difference.

You are what you manifest.

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.

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.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.
