If Adele Can Be Fearless, So Can I

No matter how big our fears are, they can be defeated.

If Adele Can Be Fearless, So Can I

Have you ever wondered what its like to be fearless? We all have fears. How we deal with them makes us the strong people we are.

We all have different fears. Some of them are more common than others. For instance, we can be afraid of spiders, or clowns. Overcoming fears is a hard challenge in life to overcome.

Have you ever wondered what your role model or the person that inspires you the most is afraid of? One talented singer I can think of is Adele. I have been listening to her since 2011. Her voice is so amazing and unique. I would have never guessed that she has one of the biggest fears most people can relate to. She has the fear of singing in front of people, or most commonly known as stage fright. She does countless shows all over the world and braces her fear every time. A few years back I learned that she had this fear. It puts a light in me and made me think that no matter how big our fears are they can be defeated. Having a fear does not make you a weak person. Showing people that you are much bigger than your fears, shows that you are strong.

One common quote by Eleanor Roosevelt is "You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along."

So now take a minute and think about what would have happened if Adele didn't follow her dream of becoming a singer and she let the fear of stage fright run her life. We would never be able to see her in concert or adore her. Since she does overcome her fear every time she sings, she shows her fear who's boss.

If Adele can overcome her fears and become fearless, so can I.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
