If You Want Something Bad Enough, You'll Make It Happen

Your dreams don't work unless you do... go chase them.

If You Want Something Bad Enough, You'll Make It Happen

My biggest pet peeve is when people complain about something, but don't work to improve it. I'm a firm believer that you can have anything you put your mind to. Here are my favorite examples and my honest, harsh solutions.

Your grades are bad? Study harder, party less!

Do you think you need to lose some weight? Get your ass to the gym, stop shoveling unhealthy food into your mouth!

Do you want to make the team? Practice more, commit every ounce of your being to it!

Do you want that dream job? Commit yourself, do anything and everything you can to get yourself to where you want to be!

Do you want to stay with your partner? Make time for them! No one is ever "too busy" to send a quick message communicating that they are busy.

You're broke? Stop spending money on things you don't need!!!

I know all of you reading this might think I'm an asshole, but it's only because I'm right (and you know it too). Everything good in my life is a result of how hard I work. I don't take "no" for an answer. I fall flat on my face, get up and push harder.

Life is all about what you make of it. It's about controlling what you can control and let me tell you, you're more in control than you think you are. Life is about the choices we make every minute of every day. The little things aren't so little. Everything you do on a daily basis has an impact, remember that.

So to those of you reading this, this is your sign to go get what you dream of. After all, your dreams don't work unless you do. Go chase them.

Love Lost

Being the girl that is falling for the boy is never easy.

You constantly text my phone telling me that you want to see me and hang out, even though we may not have sex we cuddle and that’s intimacy in its own. I’m tired of buying you food and being there for you like a girlfriend when you consistently tell me you aren't ready for a girlfriend. I am constantly feeling I’m getting slapped in the face because I’m doing all these things and getting nothing in return. Every day I feel myself liking you more which is just crazy because why would I even waste my time liking someone there isn’t a future with. I just want you to be honest with me and with yourself, tell me how you feel from your heart, stop just saying you aren’t ready. You are wasting time telling me you aren’t ready because while you are “getting ready” some guy somewhere else is telling me that he likes me and thinks I’m beautiful and wants to date me. I’m not asking for much, but I at least want exclusivity because you ask me for all these things but in return you give me nothing.

Pretty Little Liars

From reading the books in eighth grade to watching the television show all throughout high school, "Pretty Little Liars"basically defined my teenage existence. I was completely and totally obsessed on all accounts. However, even though I loved the fact that the books and the show are starkly different, there are simply just some ways in which the books are much better. Let's take a look:

To The Girl In The Back Row

Recently I was blessed to be a counselor at a wonderful camp, secluded in a cornfield somewhere in Virginia. I consider myself to be a seasoned camp counselor, as I have not only been a camper for most of my life but have been privileged enough to work multiple camps with all kinds of different facilities. I have worked camps with multi-thousand dollar facilities, with zip lines, rock walls, ropes courses, and boats. I have worked at camps with amazing water sports, camps with paintball, camps with canoes and paddle boats and floating blobs or trampolines in the middle of the water. I have worked at camps with in ground pools and camps without any pools, and even some camps with go-karts. I've had problem kids, kids who refuse to listen to anything I say, kids who sneak out after lights out to meet a significant other, and kids who are every camp counselors dream.

Why The United Nations Is Key For The World

The United Nations (UN) has been in existence since June of 1945. Since then, the world has come together to work on and solve some of the harshest problems that face the Human Race. Be it children in societal ills like Human Trafficking, natural issues like Deforestation, or issues of extreme poverty, the UN has worked together in an attempt to make it a better place for us all. It's the only organization in the history of the world to bring people together in a willing, peaceful way; a feat that not even the League of Nations could do in the Post- WWI era. Why was it that one organization failed, and the other one is still going strong, 72 years later?
