The summer is finally here! I hope everyone is enjoying themselves in having fun and making memories. I’m sure everyone is glad that finals are over and done with. Now is the time to soak up some sun or attend classes and do it all over again. Whatever the case is I want to remind all of us about living in the moment. I know that with college and our personal lives together we look towards the future in hopes to solve our problems or just to make sure we are headed in the right path. Looking forward is always a great thing to do but always looking forward makes a person blind to what is right in front of them. I have found that living in the moment and finding balance from here and now relieves stress and also creates solid happy memories to help get through some of the unsteady times in our future. I think being in college often sets are minds to have tunnel vision from where we are today to where we picture ourselves tomorrow. Tunnels can get pretty dark at times only being able to see light at the other end, but who says there isn’t light anywhere else around you? I think we owe it to ourselves to make windows in these tunnels. We all need to see the light around
us to help receive the positive energy we need to reach success. Remember that you are the only one that has the power to appreciate the time in your life and truly live in the moment. Remember that no one else can

live it for you. What is a life worth living if you’re not living it happily? I ask that you always keep this in your head and never forget or let anybody take it away from you. We only get to live once and there is no one but yourself to tell you that you
can’t live it fully. So after you read this article I want you to look around and think about the last good moment you have had, but don’t live in the past, instead think about what or who you can offer a moment to share with. Moments that can help you or someone else get through some unsteady times of the future. Reflect not only on you but your friends, families, and loved ones because everyone has problems and everyone could use help making a new light in their tunnel as well. Don’t look at a situation and dwell in its negativities but rather look at it as how you can change its direction. Thinking about is half of the work, and taking action is the finish. I hope you are having a great summer and continue to do so even if you are having classes and studying. Remember it’s those windows that keep you going, and if you need help building those windows I am always here in the U- building in room U 204A, I know it says “Adviser” on the door but I’m working to change that. If you can’t stop by, you can just give me a call at (708)-608-4165. I am your student trustee and if you need help I am right around the corner. Have a great day.
