It’s about a month into winter break, and even without having a whole lot of responsibilities, I’ve dealt with way more stress than I should even be having. I don’t blame anyone because I brought it all upon myself. I’ve been turning the most minute situations into huge problems, being overly sensitive, and also making other people’s problems my own. I guess the last...

Before each semester, I always tell myself the same thing - do good this semester; no more slacking. I never completely follow through with it, but this time it’s different. I’m starting out fresh at a new school, and I don’t have a job to distract me from my studies.
Starting this coming fall semester, it’s going to be all about focusing on my priorities. Everything else...

Every day, every one of us makes choices. Whether they’re right or wrong, we need to live with the consequences.
The passing of my grandfather definitely wasn’t easy to cope with. He was the foundation of our family. He was a great husband to my late grandmother, a wonderful father to my own father and his siblings, an exceptional grandfather to all his grandchildren, and a very generous man to those around him. With such little education, he was able to accomplish so much. People took advantage of...
These past couple weeks have been nothing but an emotional roller coaster, but I’ve learned to accept the things that I can’t change.

Just twelve more workdays, and then I’m free. I make it sound like I hate my job, but I don’t. It’s just these past couple weeks that have been stressful - holding down the fort by myself because everyone’s out, being assigned last minute projects, training the new employees. It’s so overwhelming. I’m ready for a break.
“Making mistakes is a part of learning. Making the same ones repeatedly is stupidity.”
No one’s perfect; everyone makes mistakes. It’s so cliche, but it’s the truth. What’s important is for one to learn from their mistakes and improve from them.
With that said, people shouldn’t be judged on or constantly reminded of the mistakes they’ve made in the...
Stressed
School is stressing me out, and the fall semester hasn’t even started yet. I’ve already planned out my schedule for future semesters, and my workload seems like it’ll be so overwhelming - taking more credits than usual and getting into higher leveled classes. I really am motivated, but at the same time I feel like I’m putting a little too much pressure on myself, which I...
This is the last summer that I’m going to be able to just relax and not worry about homework and exams because starting this coming fall semester I’ll be going to school non-stop until I graduate (whenever that’ll be).
My first two years of college were taken too lightly, and I totally regret it. I’ve dropped classes, changed my major, and now that I’m transferring...
I’m so blessed and fortunate to have parents that would do just about anything to see their children succeed.
Bittersweet
I’ve lived in Anchorage all my life, and although I’ve always dreamed of moving out of state, I never thought it would actually happen. Now that it’s really happening, I’m less attracted to the idea of it. Don’t get me wrong, California sounds nice - warmer weather, beautiful beaches, countless amusement parks, big malls, etc. I’m just so family oriented, that...
Tumblr - Take 2
Classes in the morning, work until the evening, and homework until at least midnight. I hardly ever had the chance to get on tumblr and eventually deleted my account. Now that that it’s summer time, and I’m not taking any classes, I have more free time. So… I’m going to try this again.
