“Sometimes you just need to set outside, get some air, and remind yourself who you are and where you want to be.” – Gossip Girl

Oh, the joys of summer classes… Not.  My friends are home from their respective colleges, hanging out at the pool while I’m stuck in classes, due to my work/school rotation.  I thought I had been mentally prepared for this summer-long battle, but clearly I was wrong.  I’ve been struggling getting back into summer classes, and honestly they are much harder than I had anticipated.  Next week is midterms, and I desperately needed a break from studying.

I stumbled upon Meg Jay’s TED talk, and I felt compelled to watch.  It seemed like the perfect study break – a talk about living your 20s to the fullest.  It was my Gossip Girl moment – taking a short break to remind myself where I am going and how I’m going to get there.

What are some other TED talks that have inspired you to keep pushing through to the finish?
