2013 Inspiration!

We're almost in 2013 and I think it's as good a time as ever to inspire with some quotes. Let's start the new year of right, shall we?

“For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again.” -Eric Roth

"Those who dare to fail miserably can achieve greatly"

"If it scares you it might be a good thing to try"

"At any given moment you have the power to say: this is not how the story is going to end"

"The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention."

"Be so good they can't ignore you"

"Smile. It irritates those who wish to destroy you."   

Have a wonderful and fantastic New Year! Let's rock it! 

 

Road Map to Your Dreams

There's that quote that goes something like"go confidently in the direction of your dreams" and that's great advice, but what if you're directionally challenged? I know I am. There are days when I know exactly where I'm headed, where I want to go and how I an going to get there, but then there are other days when I have no clue. I want to do everything and realistically I can't do everything I want to. I have to choose and that can be hard. Most of the time I just have to keep moving forward or more accurately, keep calm and carry on. It may be becoming overused and cliche, but there is truth to it. So to all of us who feel stuck and confused and lost:

New Year's Resolution(s)

I' going to be a little cliche and put down my New Year's resolutions for the entire internet to see. And maybe I'll go through with them. For once. Here we go!
1. Straight A's
2.Eat healthier
3. Drink more water
4. Exercise (hahaha, yeah right)
5.Participate in clubs/be more social
Yay for self improvement! Let's start this new year on the right foot and keep the positive energy rolling.

Party Impulses

I may live in America, but I want to have a Burns Supper. Haggis and all. I really love the works of Robert Burns so I see it fit to throw a classic Burns Supper. January 25 I will be throwing the classiest of parties. Where does one find haggis in America? Hmmmm...It's going to be so awesome that even Robert Burns would be proud.

I Feel Fine

The world did not end. Surprise, surprise. But it was a lovely solstice! Merry Yule and Happy Solstice to all!

That One Cliche

What is the one thing that we get told time and time again? Be yourself. And we ask ourselves, what exactly is my self? We create ourselves. Our likes, our dislikes, our wants and needs are all so very different and define us to make us different and unique. Our experiences also shape us and contribute to our identity. Some say that you should never change for someone else. I don't necessarily agree. That change could be for the better. But as for me I change for no one but myself.

Feeling Trapped

I never like to stay in the same place for too long. I guess it's because I never really feel like I belong. But it's also because there are so many adventures to be had! And though I love the friends I've made here at the university there are times when I feel that I need to get away from here. I have no clue where I would go, but I have some ideas. Saving up enough money to leave the country for a bit and explore the world. Get my passport and a visa and just go with only a vague plan. And most of the time imagining all the adventures that I could have is sufficient, but deep down I long to move forward.
