To the person who needs a pick me up,

In the past six years, I have learned a lot and I want to share it with you. I have learned that life is short, and should always be cherished. Wake up in the morning, turn on some music, and enjoy a cup of coffee while getting ready for the day. Although life is meant to be enjoyed, I have also learned that is not always going to be easy.

I have learned that stress comes out of nowhere, and sometimes for days at a time. Work, school, homework, being tired, it all causes stress at one point or another in our lives. Bad days happen, and no one is immune to them. I have had more bad days than I can count on my two hands. When the bad days come, I remind myself that it is not going to last forever and that there is always something to be thankful for.

The hard days helped me grow into the person that I am today. They are going to help you grow too. No one likes to have stressful days because they aren't fun, but they happen and it's OK.

Life isn't perfect, and there is going to be stuff that happens to you, that you may not have ever imagined could happen to you. Sometimes you will want to quit. I've been there. During those days that bring on so much stress, I have learned that is important to find something that is good in every day, whether it be the cup of coffee you had when you woke up or the uplifting conversation you had with your roommate that morning.

You can never go wrong with coffee and good roommates.

Remind yourself of the positive things that happened during your day. A good way to end the day is by reflecting on the good times, even if there were some rocky moments mixed in there.
