A Letter To The Indecisive Student

Yes or No are words that sting your ears

A Letter To The Indecisive Student

It's always been hard for you to make decisions whether it's about to get the burger or the salad, or whether you should go out with friends or stay in. Yes and no answers are your worst nightmare because your opinion is based down the middle. Your political views may also be mixed. Pro-choice or pro-life may not be options to you because one side of you says a woman should choose, but the other says it's wrong to harm an unborn child. Others may find that intriguing about you, possibly in a good way and possibly not. But it's very important to remember that you are young and it's okay to not make fast decisions; it means you think more about your options and you don't want to jump into things and commit without really knowing what you are getting yourself into and gain more information. You obviously say yes and no to some things, but there are definitely times where you may have to sit there and brainstorm which answer is the best.

I have friends who wished they had read more customer reviews on products before buying them or got to know a guy more before jumping into a relationship. Jumping into relationships are the worst things you could do. It becomes awkward and you may barely know your boyfriend or girlfriend. Three or four months may go by and you break up because the honeymoon phase is over and you realize there was absolutely nothing in common between the two of you. That's why dating needs to happen again, go out and learn about each other and if things match up after awhile, get together. Keeping it slow for some things have made it worthwhile. Getting more information about a research paper before writing it may guarantee you a more detailed paper.

You're barely an adult and it's okay to make mistakes or be cautious about making them. Experience gets us places and you may need to think long and hard about how big an impact your next decision may make on your life. Deciding which college to go to is very difficult when you've applied to so many. To make the choice easier always make a pros and cons list of each school and think of which one gives you a better feeling about being there for the next four years or longer, if you choose a certain major. It's okay to not to want to jump into a committed relationship unless you believe the person is 100% worth it all, it's fine to say no and date around to see what you like. The only person stopping you from it is you. So next time a friend gets upset at you for not getting back to you on going to that party, don't feel bad because some indecisive people turn out more successful than others.

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?

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.
