The Motivation Magician

Step One: Why are you unmotivated?

Clear you head. Sometimes you are just overwhelmed and you lose sight of your goals. So, do some relaxing activities like yoga, meditation, or even go for a walk or run in the park. Once your mind is calmed down you can more easily focus on your goals.

Step Two: What are you aiming for?

Remind yourself of what you are striving for; whether it be a long term career goal, or health goal or a short term goal like writing a paper or running errands. Now that your head is free of distraction, you need to reinforce your aspirations.

Step Three: Why do you want it?

Do not forget why you are pursuing these goals in the first place. Remembering why you were so passionate or driven to succeed in these tasks in the beginning will really revive your enthusiasm.

Step Four: How are you going to accomplish it?

Get organized. Create checkpoints for yourself so that you stay on task and can visualize your progress. Not to mention even reaching small goals gives you a sense of achievement that helps boost your motivation to reach higher.

Step Five: What are you waiting for?

Get up and get going! The hardest part is getting started. Once you start it is much easier to keep your momentum up. So do not waste any more time sulking, one burst of energy will make all the difference.

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.
