It's Never Too Late To Start Something

The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago; the second best time is today.

Is there a deadline to success? If yes, what is the best age to succeed? It's never too late to create the life you always wanted.

In this digital information age, we have Mark Zuckerberg creating Facebook in his college dorm at the age of 19. So there is a lot of pressure too early, making it easy to feel left behind when you are 25 and all you have is a college degree.

Ninety-nine percent of Warren Buffet's its $63 billion net worth was earned after his 50th birthday. Charles Flint started IBM at the age 61. It might feel like you invested way too much time into whatever you are doing right now and if you start something new, it is going to be a waste and you will be throwing it all the way but you are ignoring the fact that you learned and grew as a person and that is something that you can never throw away.

This knowledge will transfer into your new venture and it will help you grow. The most important part in all of this is that where you are in life is not where you want to be. Starting something new might feel like taking a step back but in reality even if you start from scratch you are actually taking a step forward towards something that will make you happy.

The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago; the second best time is today. Would it be better if you started 5 years ago? Sure but the past is the past, you can either sit here and think about how you could have started, how you could’ve done this or that. Or you can start today and focus on the present.

Some people might call you stupid and judge you for starting all over again, but these people are they really truly happy with where they are in life? You need to surround yourself that are driving towards successes and not people that are just living life day by day and are too scared to take a risk.

You need figure out what you want, put a plan into place and execute. Forget the haters and forget the doubters. This is your life, you only live once so live it right.

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.
