I Wish I Wasn't So Indecisive

I'm the most indecisive person and it honestly ruins my credibility as a human being.

doorways to endless possibilities

I know that there are many different ways to make up your mind, but for some reason, I can't land on just one of those ways.

I wish I could just pick something as easy as dinner on my nights out, or the color of a top to try on, or whether I should take my break from work or skip lunch.

I have days where I feel my decisions are already made for me, but not by me. I want to be able to decide what to do.

This isn't a small problem for me. I always have this anxiety that what I decide is going to end up being positive or negative in its aftermath. It's truly a horrible mentality because it only makes me more indecisive. I end up second-guessing myself and it makes me more doubtful of what I'm deciding.

If I was ever in a life-or-death situation and an evil villain was like "you gotta choose. your best friend or your husband" I'd be in an endless world of turmoil and I'd end up dying. So... It's safe to say that I am not responsible enough to be put into decision-making positions.

All joking aside, I want to be a bit more decisive, so I'm going to start writing down my decisions and my outcomes to be certain of myself and my actions. It'll help me with future decisions and it'll help me feel more grounded with my ideas.

If you're struggling with something similar, write things down. It's the best way to figure things out. As soon as you see it in black and white, you can take yourself and your decisions seriously. I know I'll start to.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
