Dreaming Big is Life's Greatest Obstacle

The question of day: How do you pull it off?

One moment, I'm attentively listening to a lecture on electrostatics, and a split-second after, my mind swerves out course and there I am, in a fantasy. Holding on to a vision so vividly almost hindered my conscience. All in all, my normal life is beneficial enough, executed in its routine manner, but having the visions I know I am destined to be in, even if it isn't in the very moment, is definitely worth the distraction.

Day by day, I've become increasingly suspicious of the word "Morr." The idea is intimidating, and at the same time, it invites my to expand my boundaries and the abundance of success. Of course, the positive intention behind the word is the underlying courage, but then again, we are told that overconfidence will ultimately lead to your doom.

At times, I ask myself whether I am capable to hold faith in my occasional fantasies. If my mind trails in this path, then why haven't I conducted the motivation towards initiation? I fail to find the melodious harmony between mind and body as one is directed towards the future, while the other is pursuing the present in a juxtaposing manner.

Earlier this year, the universe reminded me that I held the mentality to survive, despite the immense pressures. It was in the moment where I forbore my ambition, in which I expected the least, that I lived the most. On this day, the universe informed me that I stopped myself from carrying solid burdens daily, the clouds would part, in which I would be able to see clearly.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
