Crunch Time

So this year has been a year of changes and I feel like I have grown more in one year than I have the past two years. A lot of things have changed: New city, new apartment, new possibilities that I would never have thought I would have been blessed to have. But while things are working in my favor, there are some things that stay the same for the wrong reasons. Every year that I have been in college, whenever it gets to the mid-semester point, I would hit a wall. I'd stop going to class. I wouldn't do my homework, and I would do the bare minimum just to get by. And that was fine with me.....back then.

But this semester will be different. I am working through the wall because there is more on the line this time around. And it's not just a grade or a point on my GPA. It's my life. And these are the days that will affect the rest of my life and how I go about doing things. And that is worth putting everything I have into making sure things go the way I want them to. You can win anything unless you're willing to make the effort and put in the work.
