Cut The Drama, It's Time To Grow Up

As we mature in life, we will encounter many different people in life. Some will be in your life forever, others will come and go. However, one thing you will learn is that some people will always be stuck in that high school drama phase.

Come on people, we're all adults here. So why can't we let go of the past? All of that high school drama needs to be left in high school. It's time to move on. It's time to act like an adult.

If you get mad at someone at work, apologize and get over it. Don't hold a grudge against someone. You need to take responsibility for your own actions and realize that it's not all about you. Maybe in high school, you were the "cool kid" or "miss popularity," but this is real life. People don't care about the clothes you wear or the car you have. It's not about your hair or even your phone. We're all on this earth to live.

That's what I love about college. Literally, nobody cares. You could show up in your pajamas and people would completely understand. Everyone knows how stressful college is, so there's very little drama. We all have the same goal - make friends and get an education. So why can't we grow up and act like college students?

Once you graduate high school, you need to push all of that drama out of your life. Focus on yourself and what you want in life. We all have a low paying job to begin with; it's a learning experience. With this being said, stop judging people based on their jobs, especially if you work a job with the same pay! Working a minimum wage job motivates us to push ourselves to be better. However, acting like you're the best employee around isn't going to get you anywhere. Nobody likes a kiss-up.

Also, quit ruining other people's lives just to make yourself feel better. If you see someone having a good day, compliment them. DON'T try to bring them down. You wouldn't appreciate it if someone did that to you, so why do it to them? Do you find happiness in their misery? Do you hate seeing other people happy? Doing so is not going to get you more attention, so just quit the immature act and grow up.

Acting immature is not going to get you that big promotion or a spot on the homecoming court. Being dramatic is going to make you successful in life. People don't want to deal with people who are only going to bring them down. We all have too much going on in our lives to hold onto the grudges. Once you decide to let go of the past and start living for the future, I promise you will be much happier in life. So stop bringing others down and start lifting them up.

We're all adults here, so why can't we just cut the drama and grow up?

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

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!
