I’m a few weeks out of the roughest semester of my life, but it’s the one that has taught me the most about myself, life, and God.
-Take everything a day at a time, a semester at a time, a year at a time, or whatever. Plans can always change. You can always transfer, change your major, switch jobs, drop a class, or whatever you need to. Anyone who has their life planned out is going to change it.
-Always leave yourself a way out. Give yourself a backup plan and give yourself permission to take it. I planned myself a backup but I didn’t want to use it when I really should have.
-No one is going to hand anything to you. You have to be persistent. Sometimes it means asking someone else, or continuing to ask until you get it.
-Sometimes you have to confront people if you have a problem. If you ignore it, it tends to just get worse.
-Watch what you say about other people, chances are it will get back to them…and may not be worded the way that you intended it.
-Sometimes you have to give up. Or take a break and try again later. Sometimes success comes from accepting failure and growing from it; rather than refusing to give yourself permission to give up or fail
-There are some things you just have to leave to chance; you can’t just force things to turn out the way that you planned
-With that, being in control is just so overrated some times. There were times I would get anxious and desperate to be able to control something. The times that I realized I couldn't be in control and let go; it just felt amazing.
Above all-this verse is always ingrained into my head. I made it my email signature this semester.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me-Philippians 4:13
