As the semester seems to be speeding up and slowing down all at the same time it got me thinking. What am I doing right now at this moment to prepare for my life after college? What am I doing to make the most memorable years of my life matter? So today I am writing this article to serve as a reminder of things I have learned or will learn, and what I want to remind my future self.
1. Be patient.
Patients is a virtue that I am still trying to master. Remember that you might not see all of Gods plan right now but it's not the end of the world to wait.
2. Seek the Lord first!!
My constant joy and healing and rest is found within the Savior's love. Which means I must hold true to his word and teachings in everything I do. He holds the plan for my life but my heart must seek him first.
3. It's going to be okay.
It might not feel like it right now, but whatever is going on it will all be okay.
4. Rejection still sucks.
That feeling of not being wanted for something you wanted so bad never goes away. My hope is I still find constant humility and learning opportunities from the rejections that lie ahead.
5. Have fun.
It's okay to let loose every know and then and have fun. Don't forget you are only young once.
6. Take time for yourself.
You and your mental health are some of the most important things. In a world full of demands don't forget to carve out that me time.
7. SAY NO!
You do not have to say yes to everything. It is okay to say no. The world will not end, you just might find yourself with some more free time.
8. Do something unexpected.
If it's taking the job that is not normally the norm or mixing up your routine. Do something that is off your normal beaten path.
9. Leave the comfort zone.
This goes hand-in-hand with doing the unexpected. If it's something that scares you in a good way, take the first step to leave your comfort zone.
10. Be yourself.
Be so unapologetically yourself. As a believer, a sibling, a friend. You are one of kind and you should want to celebrate that, do not hide it.
