For The Person Ready To Make A Change

At one point or another, someone will come into your life, and change it for the better. Sometimes they will come into your life and do the complete opposite. Sometimes, they do a little of both. They cause happiness but bring a lot of pain as well, they bring laughter but a lot of tears too, and yet for some reason you want to keep them around as long as possible.

This is a letter, to the person who was strong enough to let go, and the person who is still trying to find that strength.

This is for the person that spent more time questioning their happiness rather than living their life to the fullest.

This is for the person that wanted love and happiness in the best way, but was willing to accept them anyway at all.

This is for the person who deserves the very best in life, but never had someone to give it to you.

This is for the person who decided to take it for themselves.

You are strong. Your life does not exist because of that person, you are your own being, your own happiness and your own memories. You are not the darkness that they have brought into your life, you are the light that shone before and during their presence. You are the rainbow after the storm, better yet: YOU ARE THE STORM. People can sense your strength, they can see your soul, and they find beauty in your power.

You are not the person that they made you out to be. You set your own limits, you create your own rules and you live your own life. You do not have to live by the decisions that were once made for you, you can change your life at any given time.

There is nothing in this world that can hold you back. You can change the world with your words, your actions, your hopes and dreams! Nobody in this world is worth your future, they aren't worth your ability to prosper and strive. They aren't worth your soul being stripped away and altered into what they want it to be.

Be strong. Be yourself, allow yourself to live a life that consists of happiness and love. No amount of pain is worth it, especially from someone who doesn't respect you enough to love you exactly the way you are. Be amazing, be the person you were put on this earth to be! Be everything you that you have ever dreamed of being! You are only limited by yourself, there is nothing else in this world that limits you, especially not another person.

We have times in our lives when a person comes in and makes some sort of difference, whether negative or positive, they make some kind of change. That change does not have to be permanent. Life is forever changing, you are forever changing, growing, maturing, living.

This is for the person who is ready for change, for the person who is ready to start new, for the person who is ready to be someone other than the person they once were.

Go ahead, your time is now, your time is tomorrow, your time is yours. Use it wisely.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
