I'm ready to shock it back to life!

I’ve reached a point in my life where I feel like I’m flatlining.

From day to day, I’m happy. I wake up, go to work, come home, eat dinner, cuddle my dog, and do it all over again. It’s my routine. I’m used to it.

Don’t get me wrong, I love my routine. I look forward to going home and cuddling up in bed with my dog to watch the newest episode of my favorite shows.

When I do go out, I miss my routine.

I have to force myself to go out half the time.

I’m passed the point of wanting to go out just to get drunk every night.

I’m passed the point of going out to meet a new guy.

I’m content with the people in my life, and the way things are going for me.

But that’s the problem… I’m content.

That’s my biggest mistake.

I go to church every week and feel like I leave all of my faith there.

I’m content with where I’m at in my faith.

Even though I know that I need to grow.

I know that I have so much more to learn.

I hang out with friends and feel constantly on guard.

There is so much that I know I could be so much better if I would just take the time to grow.

I need to make the time.

Not only for myself but for the people around me.

I’m content and I feel like I’m flatlining.

There’s not much sense of adventure.

I’m stuck in this rut that I don’t know how to get out of.

I want to be the best version of myself that I can be.

My life has flatlined and I want to shock it back to life.

I want to pursue my passions, get out of my comfort zone, and just live my life.

Life is too short to not enjoy it to its fullest potenital!

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Girl With Bleached Hair
Tumblr

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
