great advice I received in college
1. Follow your bliss
-no explanation necessary
2. You don’t HAVE to do anything, you GET to do it
-this simple mindset change turns a negative into a positive. I HAVE to wake up at 7:00 to make it to class at 8:00 AM? No. You GET to. Everything we have in our lives that we may think we despise is actually a blessing in disguise. These are opportunities to grow and learn; nobody HAS to grow and learn. We could stay the same forever. But instead, we are offered so many things — classes, jobs, meetings, research, clubs, etc… things that we take for granted so much that we often push from the appreciation end of the spectrum to the annoying end.
