Warning: You Will Have To Put Effort In Order To Be The Best

Zero Motivation
Success

It’s that time of the year again, procrastinating on all the work you have, midterms and EOCT standardized test are coming up, and all you want to do is have a week off so that all you can do is sleep. And I get that, however, things are going to start changing in a couple of minutes. If you are in desperate need of some pep talk or motivation, we’re going to fix that problem, right here and right now.

1. Get serious

Stop complaining about how you only got four hours of sleep because we have all procrastinated and waited until the last minute. How you manage your time wisely determines how successful you will be during the long run and defines who you are. Did you catch that? Procrastinating on an assignment that is due the next day is no one but your fault. In order to have the motivation, you will need to have not procrastinated. Make the decision to climb up all the stairs, instead of use escalators. Up to now, you have probably thought about this. Up to now, it has passed your mind. However now make up your mind and go all the way to the top. It’s the most extraordinary feeling. You live in a shadow going up the dark side of the hill- until you determine that I’m going to be the best person I can possibly be. And now you are rising into the sunshine, in a whole new atmosphere.

2. Read the quotes below

Pick one of these and put this as your lock screen on your phone or hang it on your wall. I have a couple on my wall and it helps to read it at least three times a day.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
