I think to myself, “It’s only a week, just this week,”. But then one week turns into three and I don’t know anymore. It feels long because it’s been a long time. And I’m happy still, I’m not sulking. I said it would end when it stopped being fun, but there hasn’t even been a chance for fun.

11. Stop being idle.
– Don’t think too much or you’ll create a problem that wasn’t even there in the first place. Evaluate situations and take decisive action. You cannot change what you refuse to confront. Making progress involves risk. Period! You can’t make it to second base with your foot on first.

10. Stop exclusively looking to others for happiness.
– If you’re not happy with who you are on the inside, you won’t be happy in a long-term relationship with anyone else either. You have to create stability in your own life first before you can share it with someone else.

Oh gosh I have so many books I want to read. When spring break finally comes all I want to do is read, and then read some more.
I haven’t actually read a book in such a long time - it’s disgusting. I call myself a reader, but I feel like a fraud. Once midterms are finished I shall fix this. IT IS HIGHLY IMPORTANT and I am making it a priority.
Books > real life things like going...

9. Stop trying to buy happiness.
– Many of the things we desire are expensive. But the truth is, the things that really satisfy us are totally free – love, laughter and working on our passions.

8. Stop berating yourself for old mistakes.
– We may love the wrong person and cry about the wrong things, but no matter how things go wrong, one thing is for sure, mistakes help us find the person and things that are right for us. We all make mistakes, have struggles, and even regret things…

7. Stop being scared to make a mistake.
– Doing something and getting it wrong is at least ten times more productive than doing nothing. Every success has a trail of failures behind it, and every failure is leading towards success. You end up regretting the things you did NOT do far more than the things you did.
“I just don’t know where home is. There’s this promise of happiness out there. I...”
