Always Follow Your Heart. Your Instincts Are Almost Always Right
Google

Do you ever second guess yourself that you might be wrong about something, when your brain is telling you that you are right? Are you one to struggle with tests because you’re always stuck between two answers’ and can’t decide for the life of you, which one sounds like the right one to pick? Well, you should always go with your gut and pick the best answer you can think of. Not just about tests, but also about relationships, and life in general. If you’re stuck in between two really great answers, people, animals, etc., don’t keep going back and forth because it will only get you to replay in your head over and over. If you keep thinking about one question with two really good close answers, go for the one that makes the most sense.

Your mind could be telling you one thing, that your heart could be telling you the opposite, but it’s usually the way to go. For example, you could be talking to someone for a while, your mind thinks that everything is going really well, but your heart could be reminding you that they haven’t been the same for a while, so something could be up or not feeling right. In this case, follow your heart and understand that maybe that person didn’t feel the same connection that you felt. Your mind tells you a lot of things.

Although you should always follow your heart, following your mind isn’t all that bad of an idea either. In some cases, you need to think fast and not take the time to work around what is best and what isn’t. sometimes it is all about taking that big risk and that’s where your mind would be the right path to take, but if you can, always go with what your heart is telling you. It’s almost always the right way to go.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
