To The Girl Worrying Too Much About Her Future:

Thinking about your future is great, but when it stops you form living in the now, then it’s not helping you.

It’s about finding the balance and setting up short term goals that will lead to a happy life.

You don’t have to know what you are going to do for the rest of your life right now, you don’t even need to know what you are going to do next year, next month, or next week.

When you struggle with deviating from a the normal plan or routine, remind yourself that you can’t forget to live in the now.

When you are sitting in your happy place, when you are settled and successful, you are going to look back on your life.

Are you going to have any good stories to share?

Will you look back and realize you spend all off your life on the hustle and none of it on the beauty of being alive.

Don’t get me wrong, the hustle is important. It's possibly what will bring you to your success.

But what are you sacrificing for it?

When I make it to the top and look back on my life, am I going to see myself at school, at work, or asleep? Or will I see happy memories with my family, heartbreaks I thought I would never get over, and crazy stupid nights with my friends?

I do the hustle right now, I put my time and effort into my school, my job, and in my free time I work out or eat.

I need to create a better balance.

When you are in your 20s, you are supposed to be doing ridiculous things and going on crazy adventures. Experiencing things that you finally have the freedom to do and still being young, with limited responsibilities.

Don’t worry so much about your future that you forget to live in the now. Embrace every day, it’s a gift you don’t just want to go through the motions of life and forget to really live.

Continue the hustle, keep your plan for the future, but don’t forget to enjoy the moment.

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
