Why I Look to Career Influencers For Motivation
Alastair Humphreys

Some people prefer to get their motivation from listening to music, exercising, or even past experiences. I, however, get my motivation from reading articles and watching inspirational videos online. My main goal is to keep leveling towards my highest potential and to become an influencer along the way.

What is an influencer?

According to Influencer Analysis,

"An influencer is an individual who has above-average impact on a specific niche process. Influencers are normal people, who are often connected to key roles of media outlets, consumer groups, industry associations or community tribes."

I strive to be the motivation to someone else one day. Goals much?

When I can't seem to focus on my work and I feel like being in college is taking a toll on my mentality, I get on the internet. Yes, I prefer e-books over paperbacks. My eyes are just attracted to the light and it keeps my attention. The internet has played an important role in how I go about my actions and thoughts everyday. Throughout the day my best friend Google has linked my to so many articles and quotes that could help me in any situation. Motivational speakers on TEDTalks has become a go-to of mine. These men and women are entrepreneurs, inspirational leaders, and talented individuals that are not afraid to share their secrets to success. Being The route to being successful should not be a selfish process, how else would you gain a following?

I often find myself on pages such as Forbes, Business Insider, How To,Odyssey, and LinkedIn for inspiration. These have helped me with resume building, branding, personal growth, and even social relationships. I'm sure you would also love to know how you can better yourself in every way each day. These are just a few of the many, many sites that has helped me out.

It's not about how many sites you look up a day or post on Instagram, it's all about how you take that information and make it happen. Your name and reputation is all you will have that really matters in life. Teach yourself something new today that will better you tomorrow and moving forward. Make the decision to #BossUp today, now, and forever !

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
