I Have Changed And That Is Okay

A lot of people tell me I have changed and they are right I have

I Have Changed And That Is Okay

I am typically not the one who enjoys a change. I like things to stay the same. Change makes me anxious. But I am going to admit I have changed a lot as a person over the past few months and that is okay.

I have had a lot of people look at me and say "you have changed" and sometimes I don't know if they mean it in a good way or a bad way but, that does not really matter. Some people look at me and do not even recognize me. They are not used to the person I have became. I feel as though I have changed for the better. I have grown up more, I don't care what people think anymore, I am more open about my beliefs, and I don't let people run over me anymore. I go out more and hangout with my friends more. I am way more outgoing and I have broken out of my shell that I was stuck in for so long. I am more care free.

I have been through a lot in the past (almost) year. I moved away to school, then I came back. I started back school at a new university. I moved out on my own. I found out I was cheated on. I got my heart broken. I had to let go of the love of my life. All of these things can make a person change and, this is definitely true for me.

I am so grateful for my change however. I feel so much better as a person. And now I am not as scared of change. I know I can handle change now and that all change is not bad.I don't crave stability as much as I used to. I realize now that life is always changing and you just have to roll with it.

Through every thing I have grown and changed into a stronger and healthier person. I have a more positive outlook on life as well.

So, yes I have changed and that is okay. No I am not the same person as I used to be but, I still have the same morals. A lot of people tend to think that I just like to party now and go out but, I really don't. Yes I have more fun now but, I still have a good head on my shoulders and I still have my priorities straight.

Going through a lot of tough times will make you change as a person. But through it all you will come out being a better person I believe.

So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
