1/2

Well it hit me, one more semester and then I will be facing graduation. I must say I am filled with good feelings. While everything is sure to drastically change as friends move away forever and kids grow into adults, I am happy to say that this is no longer a worry to me. Learning to let go is a great characteristic to have, as new exciting things are sure to happen in the future. I am proud with the progress I have made in improving myself and I am beginning to see that it pays off in the end. Long term rewards are so much more valuable than instant gratification. I feel born again, always having something to look forward too. I used to be someone who always dreaded the next day, but I have become someone who is excited about it. Winter break, we're about to have some fun.

Some Pointers

You can't have a clean mind without a clean living space. Strive for purity, clean up after yourself, take pride in your possessions.

If there's a long wait ahead, and you feel your wasting your time, fill the gap with constructive activity.

The natural way is always the right way, chemicals are caustic, water is pure.

Always assume everyone is famous, you never know who you're talking to.

Leisure time is a luxury, turn off the TV, turn boredom into gratitude.

Don't just hear, listen. We are social beings, we were born to share.

Your body goes to incredible lengths to keep you alive, respect it. 

A cold wind on your face is a blessing, you can feel.

If you don't want to, but you can, then you should.

Showers don't just clean the body, steam rises up.

If you open your mouth, someone will listen. 

Balance is key, enjoy a little of everything.

Passion should find you.

Time is on your side.

Bite the bullet.

Be courageous. 

Be thankful.

Be humble.

Be stoic.
