How to make every second count  10/12/18

If you only a minute left to live what would you do with it? Would you call your parents? Would you try to find a way to get more time? Would you apologize for all the bad things you ever have done? This is a question I ask to make you think about what you do with your time every single day.

What really matters in the last minute of your life? All the things that you accomplished? Did you make an impact on the world? Will anybody remember you once you're gone? All these questions will only be answered with how we use our time which a lot of us take for granted, let me ask you.

Do you use it to the fullest extent or do you waste it trying to come up with excuses for why you're not doing what you've always wanted to do? A lot of us find each other somewhere in the middle of these questions due to our different circumstances and situations that we go through. Which I can understand but that shouldn't be an excuse to waste the time that we have. For a lot of us we were not taught to take advantage of our time, people older than us say: "Oh you're young and you have plenty of time." However, we actually have no idea how much time we have left.

As I got older I learned time management is not something that's taught in our culture but we all learn. So as your spending your time reading this remember to take advantage of as much time as possible! We could only have a couple months or weeks to do what we've always dreamed of, so don't spend any more time letting things waste away or being too afraid to go for it.

So now that we're at the end of this article, think about it. If you died right now, would you be satisfied?

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
