There's A Time For Everything, Even When You Think You Have Everything Down

Everything happens for a reason.

There's A Time For Everything, Even When You Think You Have Everything Down

Timing. Have you ever heard someone say "It's not the right time." I hate to say it, but they are right. Everything that happens in your life, happens at a specific moment. Not two seconds before or five minutes later, but at that EXACT moment. For example, you're driving and a car runs a red light and hits the car in front of you.

If you left your home, let's say, two seconds earlier, that could have been you. Scary.

Timing. It affects your whole life. There was a reason you weren't with that cute boy in the 12th grade, but you are now. Maybe you two weren't ready enough to be brought together yet. Maybe you both had some more maturing to do.

Who knows, if you two happened in the past, then maybe you two wouldn't even be talking to each other now. Funny how both of you could have gone through many relationships before the two of you came together.

Generally speaking, it might feel like you never be with that person, but "surprises are the best." Also, if that door doesn't ever open, there IS a reason for that.

Someone is saving you from a failed relationship and a heartbreak.

Timing. It sucks. It holds so much power, yet seems like it's no big deal. I wish that was true because if that was the case, everything in my life would be different.

That's the thing though. I wouldn't want to change a single thing in my life because if one thing is different than it wouldn't be the life I know. Timing is the one thing in life you can't control.

You think you have everything down, but one thing: "Timing, but timing's a b****."

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
