11 Things To Never Say, "No," To
tentninja.files.wordpress.com

Everyone always tells you to say, "No," to this and, "No," to that, but, honestly, if you don't take some chances and say, "Yes," once in a while, you may not get a full life experience. So what if you make a few mistakes? Who doesn't? Take what you can from it and learn. That's life. So here are some things to never say no to!

1. Free samples.

Nothing tastes better than free!

2. When someone tells you that you can pet their dog.

Most of the time, I don't even ask. Dogs are too cute and sweet to not be loved.

3. Hold the baby if asked.

The worst they can do is cry and I think that's just them trying to talk. They won't bite. Well, maybe.

4. Listen to that new artist even if it isn't what you usually listen to.

I never used to listen to rap before college but now, G-Eazy is on every playlist I make.

5. Go check out that club/ organization you're on the fence about.

Just try it out. Clubs and organizations are some of the best ways to meet new people with similar interests. There's nothing wrong about just testing the waters.

6. If that odd guy/girl asks you out, just go on one date.

You never know, they may just be awkward because they're nervous to talk to you. There's nothing wrong with just getting to know one another. You could end up really liking them.

7. Trying a new dish at your favorite restaurant.

I know we all love that one thing and just order it every time but shake it up a little bit. Try something new! Excite your taste buds! Life is too short to have the same plate of pasta.

8. Being something new for Halloween.

Yes, that same black cat costume is adorable but maybe it's time to get more creative or change it up a bit!

9. Getting your photo taken.

Trust me, you're going to want to remember those fun moments with your friends even if it was a bad hair day.

10. Going on spontaneous trips with friends.

Don't think about it too much! Just have fun and go with the flow! Think on the fly, it's a skill that you may need.

11. Hugs

Love makes the world go around. Never underestimate the power of good, tight hug. It can make your day.


Obviously, you can't say, "yes," to everything but take a couple chances and live. You only have one life. Get out of your comfort zone and take on new challenges. Saying, "yes," isn't just about experience, it's about how it shapes you as a person afterwords.

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.
