As many of us know at this point, life can move fairly quickly. Well, if we are being honest with ourselves life moves REALLY quickly. We tend to lose track of the values that are most important to us and sometimes even the people who are most important to us. We get carried away in everyday activities and don't realize how much time was wasted. So, I think this all comes down to the one question we need to ask ourselves, are we living or are we just simply existing?

I know we all want to believe that we are truly living, but that's not always the case. I'm sure most of us are guilty of this, and I know I am, but this could be your time to change. This could be your time to focus on living instead of just existing.

This can definitely be difficult as a college student because for the most part we are constantly stressed out about exams, homework, and quizzes. But, in the end it's always good to take time for yourself and do what you want. Go out with your friends, travel somewhere new, or do something you've always wanted to do. The best decisions are the spontaneous ones. It does sound super cheesy, but doing things for yourself is extremely important. You'll learn, grow, and even become the best version of yourself. Living is way more important than just existing.

Take a step back and think about what you haven't done in your life that you wish you had. Time is flying and everyone should reevaluate their lives and do something for themselves. Do something you have always wanted and be adventurous. We can't be carried away by the little things anymore. Education is obviously extremely important, but being who you are is always extremely important. Taking time off to self reflect is what makes you a more postiive person. The best memories in life are with our best friends doing what we want to do. It's doubtful any of us will remember sitting in our 3 hour lecture class, but we will remember that one night we went out with our best friends and laughed until we cried.

The point is to make time for yourself. Instead of simply existing, you should live. Live by doing what you want at great places with even better people.
