Bloom Where You Are Planted

Never give up.

I firmly believe everything happens for a reason. We may not have been put into the best of situations, but it's important to use these lessons to build us up in becoming better people. Time is of the essence. How crucial the power of time is in this life to make the most of every moment. To let any moment or opportunity slip away would be a complete waste and only make it worse on ourselves. We were given the gift of time, and it's up to us to decide on how we choose to use it.

In any given situation, we should overcome the obstacles and dig deep past the surface to reach love, closure, and feeling. I came to this notion that people wait for problems to fix themselves rather than taking control of the situation. We use time to avoid what was meant for us to face. Instead of dealing with our reality, we fill this void of worriment and uncertainty with the distraction of time.

Life is far too short to be anything less than who you were meant to become. If there's anything I've taken away, it's to go after what you believe in. Regardless of how difficult the journey of getting there may be. As cliche as that sounds, I've learned how important it is to follow your goals. The feeling of intimidation may be a set back, but it should not define you.

No matter how big your goal may be, give yourself the room to grow. Rise above the challenge. Wear your heart upon your sleeve always. For one day you'll meet someone who's going down the path you've already crossed. Be an inspiration.

So bloom where you are planted. Always give your best even if it may never be enough. Accept the things in life that you cannot change and work on changing the things that you can do something about.

Have faith in yourself.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
