Throughout my entire life, I've always been the unmotivated, lazy procrastinator. I'm not dumb, but I never got good grades in school, and that carried over to college. By the end of 2015 my GPA was on the precipice of falling below 2.0, I was contemplating dropping out, and things were not going my way. I can't explain exactly what it was, but I finally had an "epiphany" of sorts, and decided enough was enough. I got an unpaid internship and a job on campus, signed up to take 18 credit hours, and was determined to make 2016 my bitch. And for once, I stuck to it. And it worked. Both 2016 semesters combined I took 36 credit hours and only got one C. In 2016, I had a combined 5 jobs - unpaid internship and job on campus in the Spring, a summer internship, and an internship and part time job in the fall. I'm a semester from graduating with a rรฉsumรฉ loaded with internships, and I feel like I'm just getting started. Finally starting to kick some ass in life feels great. Sure, I had to make lots of sacrifices last year. I spent a ton of time in the library, missed out on going to bars and parties, and had to skip out on a lot of things I would've liked to do. But I have no regrets, and I hope some of y'all can have a year like I did. Anyone who is a chronic procrastinator, has had anxiety, depression, illness, family issues, all that shit, I know the struggle first hand. It feels like nothing can change, but it can. Make this the year you stop being a piece of shit, take some charge in your life, it's easier than it sounds and it pays off tremendously.
