I am. I feel like whatever I do, isn't quite enough sometimes. People just take you for granted when you always have your arms open and you're willing to help. Maybe I shouldn't care as much as I do. Maybe I shouldn't want change and greatness for those around me. Maybe I shouldn't try to do what I do for others out of purity and kindness.
But I can't help it. You may knock me down, but believe I'll get right back up and even stronger. Time heals all wounds and anything is possible. Its just sad when you're around all these people but still feel alone.

Don't even have a topic...
So, I have like 10 minutes of free time before I need to rush off and do something else. That's why I haven't been blogging lately. There are just so many thoughts and so much going on that i don't have time to stop and think about what I can write about. After November 13th, I'll be a little better though.
But for this post, lets talk about you. Answer these questions (either in the comment section or on your own paper) and evaluate at the end. I'm gonna ask you these questions HOPING it will help you set priorities, give it a shot.
1. What do you plan on doing after you graduate?
2. What steps are you taking now to get there (internships, networking, etc.)
3. How often do you talk to God?
4. Do you feel like you're wasting time often, or being productive?
5. What do YOU offer someone else?
6. Do you carry out your promises?
7. What do you believe your purpose in life is?
8. If you died today, what would your legacy be?
Write about it. Don't just answer these questions in your mind. Write it out. If you are dissapointed with your answers, its time for my favorite thing: SELF-EVALUATION. It's about that time folks. We can't go through the motions anymore. Life will pass you by. Don't let a great opprotunity to influence someone else's life and enhance your own drift away.
The time is now,

Ushering In A New Generation
It's in this time more than ever, that I see how much of a role model I am. I never really thought I was before, but as I watch the freshmen get SO EXCITED to see me and other upperclassmen, I realize how much of an influence we have over them. Even at this age, we are super moldable. We tend to want to fit in and we find someone who we'd like to emulate and go after that.
That's why we need to tighten up. People are always watching. Especially those coming behind us. They see our minor successes and want to do exactly the same thing. Being in the Senate at my University, I see the Freshman Senators and how impreshionable they are. Just as I was. Soaking up every little thing, slightly wild-eyed and exploring a new world. It's hard to navigate that new world without a little guidance.
I want to be that guide for someone else. Even though I don't have it all together, for some reason I can't stop myself from giving advice and talking to people and hearing their stories. I just want to be an open mind and ear for others and help in the ways I can. It's not easy being a role model, but it's worth it when someone walks up to you and says, "Thank you for helping me become the person I am today." That would be the MOST rewarding phrase to hear.
Take someone under your wing and show them the way,
