A 60 second, abbreviated guide to: getting what you want

In getting what you want, or at least what I've figured out so far, it all boils down to a few simple things:
1. Figure out what you want.
Do you really want it? Or do you want it because other people want it? It's a heck of a lot easier putting yourself into something, and actually doing it because you want to, then doing something halfheartedly that you don't really want.
2. Get ballsy.
Go out and do it. Be impulsive. Do something crazy once a day. Think a guy's cute? Go for it. Send him a message. It won't work out every time, but going for it will get you a lot farther than just sitting there stewing over it.
3. Work. A lot. And hard.
Procrastination? Absolutely not. Go and do what you need to do before you have time to complain about it. Procrastinating will just make you more stressed in the long run then, you know, actually folding your clothes and putting them in your closet before you have the clothing equivalent to quicksand on your floor. If you have an assignment, tackle it. If you can think about something that you need to do, then go and do it.
4. Stay busy.
This is definitely true for me, and it may be true for you, but the busier I am, the more stuff I get done. Stay working! And this is especially true for running, one of my passions: you only feel how fast your running when you stop and everything starts to hurt. Just keep running, and you won't feel the pain! Stay consumed, and you'll get a lot done; I quit napping, and now my grades are up way more than last year. Don't be afraid prioritize!

Good luck! Go do!
