You ever have those days where nothing is necessarily wrong, but you just feel "blah"? That's kind of how today is for me. Minor annoyances and things, but nothing that really made the day good or bad. So as a result, I don't really know what to write about. And there has been no moment … Continue reading Blah Days

Work Ethic
I am proud of my work ethic. I work hard to get stuff done, and I know how to persevere when times get tough. A strong work ethic is going to say a lot more favorable things about you than a weak work ethic. It is important to do well and accomplish the things you … Continue reading Work Ethic
Trying New Things
You have probably heard the phrase a number of times. "You can't teach an old dog new tricks." Most of the time, I HATE that phrase. The main reason I hate that phrase is that it's usually not true. You should never stop learning in your life. You should always br learning new things. There … Continue reading Trying New Things
Peace in the Time of Chaos
It's no secret that holidays look different this year. And truthfully, Thanksgiving seems almost like a slap in the face. We're supposed to be thankful? Really? After everything that happened this year? But even with everything this year brought, I'm still thankful. I learned a lot about myself this year. I've stretched my limits and … Continue reading Peace in the Time of Chaos
My Homework Policy
Happy Election Day! If you live in America, make sure you get out there and exercise your right to vote. I promise you it's so important. I'm not going to post my political beliefs on here and tell you who you should vote for. It's up to you to do the research on what values … Continue reading My Homework Policy
Be Prepared for Anything
I talked last week about how expectations can be good or bad. But you shouldn't let expectations define yourself or how you see people. This post is related to that in a sense. But it's also not. I know that doesn't make a whole lot of sense. A big thing I am learning is that … Continue reading Be Prepared for Anything
Expectations
We all have expectations about different things. Sometimes our expectations are met, sometimes they are exceeded, and sometimes we are disappointed. That's life and that's how life works. I have expectations of my fitness goals. I honestly hoped that I would be farther along. When I started focusing more on my health, I hoped to … Continue reading Expectations
Putting it all Back Together
Last week I wrote about how sometimes things fall apart. I joked that this week I would have everything back and would write about it. Well I'm writing about it, but I don't have everything back together. Reality is a little bit more complicated than that. I mention all the time that I'm still working … Continue reading Putting it all Back Together
Things Fall Apart
I write a couple months ago about how when you fail, you can either let it become a setback or make it a comeback. I still feel that way, but I also need to be real with you. Sometimes life falls apart. It doesn't always mean you failed. Things just happen. You do what you … Continue reading Things Fall Apart
Be Assertive
This is a phrase I find myself saying all the time, whether to me or to my friends. "Be assertive!" I have found this to be such a helpful phrase in many situations of life. For me personally, I am very independent. I hate asking for help to the point where I will struggle along … Continue reading Be Assertive
