“There’s more to life than what we see” - Unknown

What does that mean to you? It’s not all about the money, the big house, the car, the parties that makes my life worth living. It’s all about the love I have that I can give to others without nothing in return (but I have to admit, knowing that someone loves me makes my life even better). It’s about the passion I feel for something and sharing it with others. The fact that I have a positive impact on people’s life makes my life even more worthwhile. I have one shot at life. And I want to make sure I live it the way I should be living it. By absorbing my experiences that I have gone through and learning from it makes me a better and stronger person. How you choose to live is the way you define your life. I want to define it in a way where I can look back and just smile.

I guess you can say I have my head screwed on straight. I’m pretty well off for my age I believe. I got it together. And at the same time I’m still having fun, enjoying my life.

“You got a dream, you gotta protect it. People can’t do something themselves, they wanna tell you that you can’t do it. You want something? Go get it. Period.” - Will Smith in Pursuit of Happyness

We all have dreams. I believe in turn, some of those dreams transform into goals. Either long term or short term goals, depending on when you realize its a goal and not a dream. To me dreams are the impossible. Or you may think it’s impossible. But once you feel that it’s possible to achieve something where you have to work for it, it’s a goal.

So after my league, my friends and I go out for boba (a kind of drink) like how we usually do on friday nights. We are sitting there talking. We ended up partly talking about what will I be doing in the future. So I laid out my plans, get my RN license, then get my BSN, while also doing web and graphics design on the side. I didn’t know I can just go straight into getting my BSN. And when I thought I had everything together, or knew my direction completely, I felt I was pushed off path since I now know I don’t need to do RN then BSN. Great. Just great.

“When things seem out of control remember that, indeed they are. It is only the belief that you are ever in control that makes life seem to go away. The harder you try to rule life, the harder it fights back. Learn to tell the difference creating in the present and trying to control the future. One feels good, the other bad.” - Flemming Funch

Just let things happen on its own pace.

I pretty much have full confidence in myself that I have done well this semester. I was unprepared for my political science final considering that I probably have only 3 full pages of notes from the whole semester. I missed all the videos that was seen during class (and mind you, questions on my final were about the videos) since I missed probably more than 5 days of class. So what do I do? Cram session, then sit back and tell myself, “I’ll get through this.” And I did get through it. *Pats myself on the back. I got an A in the class.

As for the rest of my classes, I’m pretty sure that I’ve done just as good. I smell sizzling straight A’s this semester. Lets just hope so
