Easy Road to Success/Happiness


Today I realized how the accomplishment of a simple goal can make you feel so wonderful. It doesn't have to be something major as long as it is something you have been wanting to do for a while and for some reason you just kept putting it off. When you finally muster the strength to go and cross that thing off your list you get a sense of relief and happiness. Well, that's what happened to me and I'm 90% sure it will happen to you too.

Currently I'm attending University and I'm not working but I always love saving which I usually do out of my weekly allowance. But I find myself not being able to keep my savings for more than 3weeks then it's all gone. I knew that I want my saving to be long term so today I went to the bank and deposited a half of my allowance. It felt so good; and I thought, what if everyday I did something like this, crossing something off my to do list. Eventually, I'll be so in love with this feeling and want to keep accomplishing.

Setting goals is easy but achieving them doesn't necessarily require hard work, a couple baby steps and achievement will be easy too.

End of Semester: Reflection and Goals

It's the end of the first semester and well it has been a rough three months mostly due to my procrastination for exams. As for making friends, that didn't work out, instead I learned to enjoy my own company and reconnected with a friend from high school. However, I have made a list of goals for next semester aimed at improving my grades and the whole university experience in general. This is an outline of my goals for next semester:  First and fore most my grades need to improve. My GPA is not bad but I don't want to be average or just about average, I want to make the honor roll next semester and that will require a lot of studying well in advance of finals. My university provide us with a gym and a pool we can use free which sadly, I have never been to. When school begins January I will go to the gym regularly and get in shape. The pool has life guards there who offer swimming lessons, hopefully 2016 will be the year I learn how to swim; so many people have tried ...

Self Image and Depression

Recently, I bought some makeup products with the intention of appearing as flawless as the girls I see on YouTube. I was so excited because I have never been an avid makeup user; I may add some pressed powder for medium coverage of my acne scars, some mascara and lip balm then I'd be ready to go. But this time I wanted to go full on with the concealer, foundation, highlight, eyebrow pencil, lipsticks, the whole works. I ended up spending a week's money in a day but it could only afford cheap drugstore products. No surprise, upon reaching home and trying these products I was not satisfied. I felt so disappointed when I realized that to achieve the look I was going for the foundation would cost me US$48. I was so sad because I do not have that type of money for just one thing on my list. Besides, that was what I spent on all the cheap products I bought, realizing that made me feel worse. Also, about two weeks ago I damaged my hair from flat ironing everyday for an entire we...
