Whatever Life Throws At You, Through It All, Be Positive

We all have those moments in life where we are just stuck. Stuck in our tracks wondering what is going on or where do we go next. When you can't seem to put your finger on the problem and you wonder maybe deep down maybe something is not wrong.

Life is rough.

We are constantly running around making a life for ourselves, whether it be interreacting with people, supporting and caring for our friends and ourselves, adulting, navigating through the busy college world, or just living.

It is okay to feel like you are in a rut and nothing is going your way.

It happens to everyone.

No one likes it, but we need these low points in our lives to bring us up and teach us that we can do it.

Whatever life throws at us we can handle. We just need to believe in ourselves.

When we feel like we are not reaching that point of achievement or satisfaction maybe you have not reached that point yet.

Who knows.

Life works in mysterious ways, and you just have to trust the process.

You have to trust the idea that everything happens for a reason. We meet people for a reason, we experience things for a reason, and we are who we are for a reason. Nothing just happens.

We must keep in mind that in the end, you are the person who dictates your future.

Every day you wake up and make choices. Choices that will affect your future you.

It is all a learning experience.

You make your life the way it is. Either take what life throws at you or what people say literally or ignore it.

In the end, you know your worth.

Do things that make you happy and do not ever settle for less than you deserve.

Because you know what you want in the end.

Even if you have not reached that goal, you will.

Keep working towards your dreams and bettering you. Maybe your dreams have not become a reality because you need to experience some life before you get what you have been striving for.

Whatever it is, keep believing.

You will get there. You will have the life you have always dreamed of. Just be positive and trust the process.

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.
