Nothing is Certain until it is

So this phrase "Nothing is Certain until it is" has just popped into my mind all of a sudden and I felt the need to share. I know it sounds pretty redundant so I guess I should explain my train of thought. In the past, I've heard people say, " I know for a fact that we are going to get married, I just know." And then a couple of months later they break up. Or someone says, "I just know I'm not going to get that promotion" or "I know that we are going to have a great season this year" (aka clemson fans). I myself have often said, "I know that I am going to fail this test," based on the lack of studying I had don't prior to taking it. but how do we know these things? No one can ever know something with certainty until the event actually happens. You can never know that you are going to marry someone until the moment you actually marry them. I mean think about runaway brides. Their husbands were probably pretty certain that they were going to get married since the wedding had already started, but things didn't turn out that way did they. and i for one have never failed a test that I thought I was going to fail. People always think that they can't do something, like pursue something they love, go to faraway adventure, or tell their objects of affection how they really feel all because "I know it wont work out." How do you know that peoploe?And if in fact it doesn't work out, well what have you really lost. I mean you'll just start back at the place you were before you ever did what you did. So people, nothing is certain until it is. And no matter what the circumstances look like, it doesn't mean it's gonna happen. Just because it looks like the odds are against you, it doesnt mean they are. And if things change, like you lose the job you planned to retire at or your boyfriend who gave you a promise ring breaks up with you, don't be surprised. Move on and do something you were always afraid to do like audition for American Idol or interview for that job that you may not think you are qualified because NOTHING IS CERTAIN UNTIL IT IS.

5 hour energy

Well I made it through Heaven week (oh yeah its opposite day didnt you know) as it it was the worst week of the semester. Yeah, for all you college peeps, I think we can all attest that the last week of classes and exams are the WORST weeks ever. All of my professors decided to make 10 and 15 page papers due the last day of class. How dumb. dont they realize they are going to have to read all of those in a week's time. and that my friends is why I will never be a teacher. I also had a group project, and not hating on people, but many I hate working in groups. they seriously are more painful than having to write a 15 page paper on human trafficking-talk about depressing. I seriously worked more in the last two weeks than I did the rest of the semester combined. Not even kidding. Its not saying that I did much, its just saying i did absolutely freaking nothing the rest of the semester. Two diseases rage within me at the present moment: senioritis and procrastination. a deadly combination for sure. Well with all that done, I am just two exams and a take home away from the end of this semester. PRAISE THE LORD. Im not sure how well I need to do on any of those things and considering I dont even have the books for one class, I'm not sure how its going to turn out. I honestly dont even care. I do have to give a shoutout to 5 hour energies. and yes some of you may know my addiction, and yes there is a patent pending, and yes "they may be bad for my health"- but I DONT CARE. they honestly are the only reason I was able to write approximately 30 pages. and they arent as bad a cup of coffee that makes me act like a freaking crack addict after one cup. Literally, my hands will be shaking so bad that I can even type. I just press all the keys as fast as I possibly can, making quite a ruckus I might add, just to appease the caffeine coursing through my veins. Its really awful. So for me, ill take my Vitamin B12 boost and my daily fulfillment of folic acid in a 5 hour energy. Ah how I love thee. Dont worry, i'm not addicted. After tomorrow I probably wont take another one until next he77 (turn the 7's upside down) week in April. and by next he77 week I mean, two weeks before I graduate HOLLA Playas. Woot woot. this one is checking out of this forsaken thing called college. I cannot wait. Super excited about the future as I'm kind of figuring out something I may pursue. Its definitely under wraps for now, and probably until I have some sort of success. Anywho thats all I'm saying for now. For now, I guess I'm just living the life of an American College Student. Peace out.
