30 Reasons You Should Choose Spontaneity
Sarah Pace

spontaneous:

adjective

  1. performed or occurring as a result of a sudden inner impulse or inclination and without premeditation or external stimulus.

Spontaneity- that word... that noun that so many people crave in love, relationships, life in general. I think it's something many people crave. I think it's something sought after. I think it's something that makes friendships and relationships thrive. It may be horrifying to some, but it can be fantastically magical to others. So where's the magic in spontaneous adventures? I propose 30 reasons spontaneity is good for the soul:

1) It adds an element of surprise to your day.

2) It keeps you on your toes.

3) It lets you know that someone was thinking about you when you least expect it.

4) There's a light that often goes off in your eyes, and let me tell you, it's beautiful.

5) Spontaneity promotes adventure.

6) It gets you out of your comfort zone.

7) Spontaneity retracts you from your dull, boring life.

8) It lets you feel alive.

9) It causes you to adjust to changes.

10) Spontaneity allows you to get our of your comfort zone.

11) It helps you do more with your life.

12) It gets you off the couch and probably a breath of fresh air.

13) It can help get you out of a slump.

14) It can take your mind off of something that's bothering you.

15) It gives you a break from your typical daily routine.

16) It may take you new places.

17) It may introduce you to new faces.

18) It may cause you to become more curious.

19) Spontaneity will allow you to blossom.

20) It can cause you to become more open to new ideas.

21) It may help you relax.

22) You will learn to expect the unexpected.

23) You will have less regret.

24) You will be more satisfied.

25) You will appreciate the time you spend outside of your typical work day.

26) Spontaneity will give you joy (if you allow it to).

27) You will appreciate an unregimented schedule.

28) You will learn that your way isn't the only way.

29) You will learn to listen better.

30) You may learn to follow the instructions of others better (because who knows who's taking you own your adventure).

Whatever your spontaneous adventure, I hope you enjoy the ride.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
