Choices, Choices, and Choices — Oh My!

Stop lion and say you don't care. You do.

Every action you take, every interpretation you make, every time you eat a piece of cake, you make a choice. This choice probably includes the typical, dope tradition of saying "I don't care," or "I don't know."

Think about the last time you went to dinner with your friends or family. Do you remember when your one veto became 10 different vetoes? Do you remember when you were hungry? Do you remember when you wanted dinner at 7:00 P.M. but then the clock read 9:30 P.M. and you still hadn't "decided"?

Truth is, you did decide. You decided at 7:00 P.M. Whether you had an opinion on the decision or not (which by the way, everyone knows you had an opinion, you know your favorite restaurant), you decided whether or not to participate in the discussion. You made a choice.

Choices take place at every second of the day. But at the brain of the world where everyone connects, the news focuses on very few choices that make good stories and big impacts.

If you make a choice every second of the day and in one day there are 86400 seconds, then you make 86400 choices. However, as we see on the news, just one of these 86400 choices can define the way you are perceived.

You know who you are. You know what emotions you feel. You know which ideas stem from these emotions. You know.

You know you have a contagious smile. You know you enjoy the company of others. You know your passions. You know.

However, do you believe that the company you surround yourself knows you if you don't make the choices you feel internally?

Pinocchio made this mistake of not being honest with his choices and his nose grew extremely long. Don't let your nose grow long.

Cinderella's prince made the choice to wait until he found the right fit for the shoe. He didn't make the choice to fall for one of the evil twin sisters because he wanted to be himself and be with people who love him for who he is.

Making choices is about taking your thoughts and organizing them into meaning. Meaning of which holds the truth of who you are, what you believe in, and what you are craving for dinner tonight.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
