I'm a big proponent of living life spontaneously; it just makes it so much more fun. Yes, there are several things you can't just decide randomly at the last minute, like where you are going to go to college; but, there are several things you can decided last minute. In today's time, everything needs to be planned out. I feel like people are asking kindergartners where they want to go to college and what they want to study. But having some spontaneity in your life is good thing. It makes life more fun and lets so many more memories be formed.

A lot of my favorite memories in life are ones that were not planned out but last second decisions. Sometimes you need to just be like, "Hey, lets go to do this," not think about it. Just go and do it. It makes things more fun. Living in the moment and just doing what sounds fun at that point in time is so great. You can look back on it later and be like can you believe we did that?

Thursday morning, I woke up and said, "I wanna go get my nose pierced." Because I had class all day, I couldn't go, but by Friday afternoon I got it done. I didn't think about it I just did it and I love it. In the past, my friends and I would randomly be like, "Lets go get shakes at Steak n' Shake," or decide to drive down to IU last second. Being spontaneous doesn't mean you have to go out and do something big, it can be little things like going to Steak n' Shake at 2 in the morning. Just doing things to have fun and make memories.

Join that club you've been wanting to join, go visit that friend you haven't seen in a while, or go to that fancy restaurant for dinner just because. Live life to the fullest and make the most of it because life doesn't last forever. Make those memories that will last a life time because those are the ones worth keeping.

Living life spontaneously is just so much more fun than always having a plan and making sure everything goes to plan. Sometimes plans fail and then what? You're upset that things couldn't go as planned but when you make spontaneous last minutes decisions you can't be upset when things don't go as planned because there was never a plan to begin with. So I challenge you go out and be spontaneous this week do something without planning it out and have fun.

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
