Distractions...

Sometimes—most times—the right thing to do isn’t easy. In fact, it’s much harder to do something to better yourself that is outside the box of what your friends are doing, than to follow their lead.

This school year is going to be crucial for me and so many others across the world. I have a lot I want to accomplish and no time to waste. What needs to change is the mindset. We tend to think that we can juggle everything and still do it perfectly. That’s just not humanly possible. All balls can’t be in the air and none fall to the ground. Something will give. For me, it’s going to be my social life. That’s the aspect of college that should be on the bottom of the totem pole, but we often put it near the top.

One year older, one year wiser.

I had a lot of fun last year…but was it all worth it? My GPA wouldn’t say it was lol. This year I have to put certain things on the backburner to make my goals, reality. I’m not saying I won’t ever be out, but everything has a time and place. I don’t need to be at BDubbs every Tuesday, or the Mint every Thursday…these things will always be there. My aspirations to be someone on this Earth and make a true difference won’t though. If that door closes, it may be hard to find another.

Your actions now determine your future,
