Dare To Be Different

"If you want something you've never had, you've got to do something you've never done." -Thomas Jefferson

Dare To Be Different
Fix Willpower

Things are changing and people are making plans to leave. Change your life and make your plans go where you want. Go somewhere different than the crowd.

As Robert Frost once wrote, "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I- I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference."

It's okay not to want the same thing as everyone else. You just spent four years with all of your classmates, why would you want to spend four more years with the same people? You may love these people, but imagine how many other people are out there for you to love! Grow up and go your own way. Make your own story. Create the life that YOU want, not the life that someone else wants you to have. It can be scary, but I promise you it is worth it. Have faith that you can do all things.

Going away to college can be very scary because EVERYTHING is new. You move to a new state, into a new room, with a new person. That is also extremely exciting! You have been given the opportunity to experience all of these new things! Take that chance! You can always go home, but find your new home!

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
