I Have Some Advice For The Confused

"Life is like a multiple choice question, sometimes the choices confuse you, not the question itself."

Hello Beautiful/Handsome,

You're clearly reading this article for a reason. Either this article applies to you, or you're just curious what I have to say. I don't have all the answers to everything that happens in someone's life, and that's not why I'm writing this article. I am writing this to scratch the surface of some advice that I think will help you when you're confused.

If it's about a significant other.

It may be a boyfriend or a girlfriend, maybe just someone you "talk" to. Do what your heart tells you to do. Don't do something that will make someone else happy, you always need to do what makes you happy, first. Even if it may hurt someone's feelings, they will get over it someday. They may not get over it today, but they will someday. Your happiness will always come at a cost, I am sorry about that. In the end, your happiness is what is always important, as long as you're not physically hurting someone or hurting someone in a sense of abuse.

If it's about your family.

They have always been there for you, so be careful with what you say. Depending on what the situation is, remember to always stay calm. Getting angry never helped anyone. Take a deep breath and think about what will happen if you freak out. Always think before you say something, you can't take it back after it has been said. The last thing to remember is that they love you and want what is best for you. Of course, this all depends on the situation.

If it's about college/school.

We are all confused. You're not alone. Always know that you have people to support you and help you through whatever you're struggling with. Please, if you're struggling, take advantage of all that the campus has to offer. The people on campus are paid to help you. They have degrees, some of course being students (but still helpful), just so they can help you. Take advantage of everything that college/school has to offer. You got this!

If it has to do with friends.

This is a hard one, every situation is different. You might have that friend that has separation anxiety. The friend that on your case 24/7. The friend that is just really getting on your nerves. When it comes to friends, and this will sound bad, but they come and they go. If they're not good for you, then you need to find some new friends. If to you, they're worth the trouble, then keep working through whatever is going on. Always be honest with them. Honesty is always the best policy. They might not accept it right away, but they will be happy you were honest.

No, I don't know all the answers. I wish I did. I fall in this category all the time, being confused that is. Life is confusing. Always fight for what you believe in, never give up and lastly, remember you got this!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
