Yes, two blogs in two days is a rarity from me, since I usually only blog once every two weeks. However, I was really thinking about how I was going to finish my college career. While it has been a rough semester (and to think this would be an easy semester :P), it doesn't mean that I can't finish it on a positive note. Here are a few goals that I have for myself, and maybe this will help those who may be graduating in the future (and let's just hope that I stick to these)
Don't let small things get me down: There are times when things that should be very minor tend to get the best of me. The worst part is that it will sometimes take me a while to get over some things and am afraid to face some of these issues head on because I am worried about awkwardness or doing something wrong. However, I must learn that things are not always gonna go my way, and it is how you react to these issues that are the most important.
Stay Optimistic: I have been on the hunt for jobs and so far the job hunt has not gone as well as I would have liked to. Many people have found jobs already, and sometimes I feel like I am waaaaaaaay behind other people, which may be my own fault. However, I have to learn to keep my head up and remember that there are many people in the same position that I am in. I just have to Keep on Truckin' (as Eddie Kendricks would say) and know that it will pay off soon.
Be More Cheerful: Another thing that I want to do is try to be more upbeat around other people. I have realize that in the past, people somewhat see me as a somewhat cheerful person, and it concerns people whenever I am not cheerful. Unfortunately, there are times when I just act cheerful when I not really feeling this way at all. I sometimes don't want other to deal with my problems, because I feel like I will burden them. However, I have met some fantastic people here at Creighton and have been able to maintain a couple of close friendships with people back in Lawrence. Plus, I have my parents as well. I just need to get myself to talk about these problems with people who are willing to listen, as it will help me feel better about things.
Enjoy Who I Am As a Person: While I may not be the most appealing person or the most attractive person (check that...I know that I am not the most attractive person. haha), it doesn't mean I have to change who I am as a person. I have already concluded that I am a huge nerd when it comes to certain things, such as sports, video games, sometimes TV shows...and I won't change my personality for anyone in order to make me more appealing. As long as I am respectful to the people that I know, people will learn to embrace some of the qualities of me as a person. I cannot control people's opinions really...I can only control how I act.
These are just a few things that I thought of personally...hopefully these will help me get me get through this semester. And hopefully it helped some other people out as well. Just typing this out has helped me to feel better, and it beats being "Mopey, "Negative Nancy" Werner." We will see how this goes...hopefully it is for the best.
