Getting Outside Of Your Comfort Zone

Get everything out of life that you can.

Getting Outside Of Your Comfort Zone
Maddie Thies

Do you ever wish you lived life more on the edge? You see so many people around you doing all these crazy spontaneous things and your kind of just... living life in your box. Sometimes it just seems so scary to do things just spontaneously. I am victim of this. I sadly can say that I am a very schedule oriented person. I don't do many things, let alone anything spontaneously. I plan accordingly and simply do things that are within my budget and comfort. But recently I was talking with some friends about taking a trip out of state this summer. My initial reaction was, “Man, this is going to be expensive. I probably won't go.” But then I thought to myself, how often will I do this? And why do I go to work? Yes to save, but I also am entitled to have a little fun and that's when I decided that I want to start living a little more out of my comfort zone. Imagine how much better your life would be when you finally decide to do the things your to scared to do? It can be anything. Stepping up at your job, asking that guy out you really like, pitching a new idea to your crew, travel, etc. We are capable of doing so much if we just push ourselves to do it. Live life on the edge doesn't mean you need to be careless, but its getting out there, living life to the max, and getting everything out of it that you can.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
