Why Living Spontaneously Is The Best Way To Live

Living life spontaneously is just so much more fun than always having a plan and making sure everything goes accordingly.

Why Living Spontaneously Is The Best Way To Live

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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
