Can y'all believe it's almost February!?
School has almost been going on for a month. Now is the time that you either ease off of your work ethic or put forth that extra effort to succeed.
So what? I'm tired. It's as simple as that. All of the goals I have to earn stellar grades so that I don't have to worry as much about if I'm going to get into the Accounting program or not are still there. Overall, I am determined and focused. I keep up with the textbook readings, take all of the pre- and post-class quizzes, and attend and take notes in all of my classes. But I am tired from working hard in school, working hard on staying healthy, working hard to be a good friend and participant in my ward, and working hard on having a social life. As a college student at BYU, you have a lot of expectation for yourself.
But I wouldn't have it any other way. Because even though I'm tired, I'm motivated. And what's the point of life if you aren't motivated to achieve? As children of our Heavenly Father, we brought amazing divine potential with us to this earth. And now is the time to decide what to do with it. So even though I'm tired when I wake up in the morning, I am moving forward. And each day brings me closer to my goal. Each chapter read, assignment completed, and test taken is a check mark on my list of accomplishments for the semester. And as I keep on keeping on, I have the potential to go places. And as I look back on what I've accomplished during January, I am excited to see what February contains. A new month is almost like a brand new start. The future is bright, y'all.
Thanks for the post Lexi. I definitely agree with what you said about having high expectations for yourself. We have so many different things to balance as BYU students, but like you said, I wouldn't have it any other way! My grandpa always says that it is better to have too much to do than too little to do, and I think that is so true. Our lives are more fulfilled when we take advantage of the time we have been given and remember our potential. We have so many opportunities here and BYU is such a great school! Keep working hard and staying motivated. Good luck on getting into the accounting program too!
