When Was The Last Time You Walked Down The Street Completely Happy With The World?

I honestly can’t tell you. College has been the toughest part of my life. From homework to friends to family problems, it never ends. The crazy routines that I have put myself into have made life difficult and from here on out, it’s going to stop. Balance is key. Balancing friends, family, work, and school is very difficult, I’m sure you all will agree. And with what I’ve gotten myself into, it’s even worse. From getting my license suspended, to putting myself into debt, to not taking care of myself as a person, has made life even more grueling than it was before. All of these difficulties are not going to stop me though. I used to be a very happy and positive person and the past week, I have not been. I am behind in school. I even considered dropping out of school. Without my friends’ support, I would’ve already filed for withdrawal.

What I’m getting at in this post is that you should focus on yourself first. Take care of your body. Healthiness is key. Without good health, you can’t do anything else. You can’t socialize with friends, you can’t love anything. You need to love yourself. Put that on the top of your list. Next is family. Blood is thicker than water. No matter how much you think your friends are better than your family…friends can be gone tomorrow. Family is stable and will love you always whereas friends will love you one minute, talk bad about you the next. Next is prioritization. School should always come first. Homework cannot wait until the last minute to be completed. Most college students put off homework until the night before it is due, but let me tell you, everything adds up in a hurry. If you don’t feel like doing it now, what makes you think you’re going to want to do it later?

I am going to take my own advice and I hope you will as well. Maybe this will not make you completely happy with the world, but it’s a step in the right direction.
