1. Nobody is perfect.

Yes, Hannah Montana was right. Be patient and remember that others will make mistakes, you just have to love them anyway.

2. Not everyone will like you.

I know it's hard to believe, but sometimes no matter how hard you try, people just won't like you.

3. #2 is not a bad thing.

You don't need everyone to like you, so don't try too hard to get those people on your side. The people who really matter won't need a reason to like you, they just will.

4. Always be genuine.

If you want the people that really matter to stick around, you've got to make sure you're giving them your best, and nothing less. Be good to people for no reason, always.

5. Focus on yourself every once in a while.

It's okay to be selfish every now and then and realize that you need some "me time" in order to get away from the world and keep yourself healthy and happy.

6. Take a deep breath.

Everything gets better in time. Don't let something small get to you. Take a breath, be strong, and remember that it will get better.

7. Be supportive.

If someone is excited about their accomplishments, build them up. Even if you don't understand why it's so important to them, the fact that they find it important is all that matters and they would love to know that you are cheering them on.

8. Don't take life too seriously.

One of the most important things in life is to have as much fun as you can. Laugh a little more and worry a little less.

9. Know that you are loved.

Things get hard sometimes, I get that. But you are loved. Every single day, by so many people, you are absolutely loved.

10. Say your prayers.

Sometimes you're going to feel alone, but I can promise you this: you're not. God is always ready to listen. Taking a few minutes out of your busy day to talk to the one guy who will never leave you is far more important than you think.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

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?
