Do What You Want And Do Not Give Up!

Chase your dreams, don't cling to the "what if's."

Do What You Want And Do Not Give Up!

How many of you yearn to follow your dreams, but because of fear, you decide not to chase them? You end up stuck with a career that brings you financial sustainability but no enjoyment. I am part of the few that chases her dreams but realizes halfway that the goals are more prominent. No, I haven't stop chasing them. I am working twice as hard to accomplish them. For some reason, I feel that I haven't accomplished much. Not sure if that's a me-thing or "everyone in their early 20's" feels that they haven't accomplished much. Who are we comparing ourselves to when it comes to accomplishments? Maybe we feel that way because time is passing by and nothing is sufficiently concrete.

First of all, we should stop feeling that we have not accomplished much. No one is expecting you to be a millionaire at the age of 20. Second of all, you are working your way to your dreams. If you believe in something, you can fight for it and make it happen. There will be moments when you subconsciously compare yourself to your peers feeling that you have not done much in your life, and that is okay. We all have our moment of weakness. But guess what? That is okay.

Here is what I want you to do. Make a schedule where you spend time building up to your dreams, a program not only gives you the feeling of having yourself together, but it makes it easier for production. Now, if you can't stick to a plan, then you will have to find an alternative way. Stop thinking about what others have accomplished, focus on you. Stop focusing on what you have not gained. Focus on pushing forward. Manifest your future, and it will come true. Think about your goals as a 'when' rather than a 'what if.' Remember, everything takes time. Be patient, keep working, and the day will come when you no longer have to chase your dreams.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
