Living with Doubt and Uncertainty

Dealing with Life's Curveballs and Throwing Them Right Back

Living with Doubt and Uncertainty
National Seminars Training

My least favorite thing about the stage of life I'm in right now is living with uncertainty. Not having enough money to cover all expenses and wondering when that time will come. Yes, I'm banking on the fact that I will do just fine when I finish college and have a full-time job. But then I wonder what I should do to make more money until that time comes. It just seems like there aren't enough hours in the day to take care of your house, fiance and children, part-time job, and all the time school.

I do my best to be happy in the situation I'm in, but I can't wait until we can buy/build a house, I graduate, and get started in my career. That is when I will breathe a sigh of relief.

I just want to be able to provide as much as my family wants and needs and to be comfortable with everything. Isn't that what everyone wants?

So in the mean time, it is very beneficial to be happy, relax, and make the most of what you have. I like to have time to myself, play guitar, use lavender in my diffuser to relax, take a hot shower, and read the Bible. I try to focus on who and what are important in my life and that make me happy.

It is difficult, but once you get to where you're going, it'll all be worth it.

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
