Keep moving forward by Jay on May 8, 2011 The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! - from Rocky Balboa Maybe you screwed it up. Maybe you got laid off. Maybe you asked and they said no. Maybe you tried and didn’t succeed. Whatever it may be, it probably doesn’t feel good. And maybe it’s enough to make you want to throw your hands up and quit trying. Or maybe, just maybe, …show more content…

How to make tomorrow the best day ever by Jay on May 2, 2011 My sleeping schedule has sucked this past week. Usually I get around 8-8.5 hours of sleep each night – this week I’ve been averaging 6-7 hours. Unfortunately even this small difference in sleep makes a huge difference in my mood, productivity, and overall quality of life. Don’t get me wrong – this has been a good week (my birthday was a few days ago). If I got more sleep, though, it could have been even better. I have been drowsy and have had zero motivation the past few days and I know exactly why: lack of sleep. I am not an advocate of oversleeping. Sleeping too much is just as bad for your mood and well-being as not sleeping enough. Most of us need between 7-9 hours of sleep a night, and if we’re getting more or less on average we’re not going to perform at our peak. I talk a lot about building your life from the ground up, starting with your physiological needs. Of these basic needs I believe that sleep is the most important. That means if I could make one healthy lifestyle change, it would be to get more sleep (or get my sleeping schedule right). A good night’s rest sets you up for a successful day. You will make better decisions, be happier, and get more

The monologue I chose to perform is from the movie You, Me, and Dupree, by Michael Lesieur and it is delivered by the character Randolph Dupree.

For they will never know the feeling of hard fought achievement, nor the feeling of hard fought defeat. I believe that President Roosevelt is painting a picture in which individuals, whether they fail or succeed, are winners in their own right because at least they can say they gave an effort. How can one know if they will fail or succeed unless they apply themselves and give their best effort? Too many times people take the path most traveled because it is easier and safer; but what are the limits of these people who take the path most traveled? They themselves cannot even answer this.

Introduction: Typically, college students falling in the category of young adults should be getting anywhere from seven to nine hours of sleep per night. However, that is not the case, especially of students transitioning into their first year of college. Sleep is an essential component in our everyday lives, as much of a necessity as oxygen or water. Getting the proper amount of sleep provides many useful functions for the human body, such as the ability to retain memories and knowledge and heavily impacts our decision making (Gilbert and Weaver, 2010). Due to the fact that many students have a hard time transitioning into college, many lose the required sleep needed, thus the functions it provides resulting in a sleep deprivation.
