Ahh, Young Love

By this time, most of us have had some experience with a relationship, good or bad.  A relationship is typically a bond two people share with one another who have mutual feelings for one another. Some people get in relationships because they can't stand the thought of that person being with someone else. Some people commit to a relationship because they figure "Why not?" or "What's the worse that could happen?". Some others take on a relationship with the hope it leads to something stable in the future that could be taken to the next level. We all have our own reasons to be in a relationship. But what standard do we hold relationships to these days? Is an actual relationship something people strive to have, or is their aim to gain something in that relationship instead? Back in the day, a relationship was something people held to the highest standard, and it came with things like getting the approval of one's parents, making clear what your intentions were from the start, etc. Nowadays, things are different. Different in good and bad ways. With the new generation came a new way of doing things. So how about we look at this new style that my generation has adapted.

Advice Corner!

So I decided that a good idea would be to start a kind of advice column for people!

All you need to do is email: sereneparadox@gmail.com and I'll post the question and answer as soon as I can. This will be a good way for people to get outside input on anything that's been on their mind, or any questions they've wondered about. At the same time, others may benefit from anything you are curious or wonder about.

I look forward to hearing from you all

Next Topic: Youth, Love, and Relationships

Happy New Years to all and Happy Holidays!

I hope you all enjoyed my recent post about college and my input on the things to consider when thinking of advancing your education.
My next topic I will be discussing will be youth and how they handle love and relationships. I think this is one area that many people do not fully understand or comprehend, especially in our current generation. I am currently working on compiling it and you can expect it to be posted within the next week.

Again thanks to all my subscribers and those who continue to read my work. It's much appreciated.

What College Means For Your Future

We live in a society where it is hammered into our heads that education is important. We hear things like "an education leads to a job in the future," and "with an education, so many doors are opened for you". An education is said to be crucial if one wants to succeed in life. But does college really guarantee everything will be set for you post graduation? Is it worth paying so much for college with prices always on the rise? Let's take a look at the different aspects of a college education and then we can decide whether college is worth its cost.

Coming Soon: College Talk

I hope this post finds everyone doing well. I just wanted to make a post to let all my readers know I am still actively working to create more posts for my blog. My next post will be centered on college and I believe it will be beneficial for everyone to read. It is taking some time to complete but with it being the holidays I have more free time to concentrate on finishing it. Just continue to be patient with me and await my next release!

Thanks to everyone who continues to follow my blog and listen to what I have to share

Strong Faith in the Face of Adversity

I know its been a while since I last posted. If you lived my life in college you would know why. The workload, expectations, assignments, and responsibilities I've been given lately have taken majority of my time throughout the week. The one thing that has pushed me through all of these times besides the support of my family and friends, is the man upstairs. Through God all things are possible. In my weakest times, he's given me strength to pull through any circumstance and any situation. Now I know everyone in the world is not a believer, but these past few weeks have really given me reason to speak on this. If you're not a believer at least hear what I have to say. If you are a believer, let this be a reminder as to just how great a God we serve. I'll keep my post short and sweet today, and hopefully I get more time to post more things that relate to situations in your lives that you're going through, or bringing to your attention aspects of life you may not have thought about as much.

Have We Overcome Our Pasts, or are We Reliving History?

We all have things in our past that have affected our lives in some kind of way. Whether it was starting a relationship, making a new friend, taking on a tough class, committing to attend a school, leaving home, or whatever it may have been, the actions in the past have had some impact on ourselves or those around us. We've lived and we've learned; we've made good decisions and bad choices; we learned from the mistakes we made in the past and have continued on with our lives. Overall, these things are what helped shape who we are today. But have we really learned from the past?

Set Up For Failure

I want to start by apologizing for the long wait for a new post. I recently started college, and it is definitely an eye opener. That is why I have not had much time to blog, but my experience in the short time I've been here has influenced my topic for today -are we set up for failure in the world? I want to address this issue to get people to think about the odds that are against them that they may not think about, and help them to think on how they can effectively and successfully overcome those obstacles.

Accepting Yourself

We have all had those time when we look at ourselves and wonder why someone doesn't like us, or why we are perceived as "different" because of how others see us. This usually leads down two roads. The first road is merely accepting the fact that there are differing qualities between you and others. The other road is insecurity. We enter a phase where we are racking our brains trying to figure out why we are different and whether it is bad or not. This is known otherwise as insecurity. This is also a characteristic that holds us back in life. Once a person becomes insecure, they lose self-esteem, one of the worst things that could ever happen to a person. Why? Because it means you will fall victim to the world and its negative influences. Whatever the case may be, it is a virus that lives inside of you until you can overcome it.

I Just Don't Get It

Life. That word in itself carries so much impact and significance, you wouldn't believe. Thus leading to the question: What is the meaning of life? I am going to end your long journey of searching for this answer right now. There is none. Life can not have a definition because it has no particular way it operates, never is the same for every person, and does not follow a natural order. It’s funny how life is, as complicated as it may be. Like how here I am typing this piece while you’re reading it at whatever given point in time. That’s more of a phenomenon actually, so let’s get back to the point - life. One thing I've noticed is how there are so many contradictions in life. For instance, people will tell you never judge a book by its cover, yet when they see someone dressed or acting a certain way, they are so quick to judge. Why do certain wealthy individuals believe they are better than less fortunate people, when some of them came from the same situations.
