Making The Choice To Leave

Leave if you want "easy."

We've all been through it, seen it, or have heard about it, someone telling someone they love them one day, expressing that they are the best thing that has came into their life, and then changing their mind the next day. Going from having someone in your life to not speaking. People cannot leave like that, I've never been able to leave like that, but somehow they have no problem doing it.

For future reference, these are the most common things that seem to push people away. When you come across these aspects of a person, only run away if you are a coward and cannot handle such a strong person in your life...

When you find out how much my education means to me, don't think that I will soon not be able to have time for you. You make time for the people that you want to make time for. If I can watch other relationships and friendships prosper with people who have even more demanding majors than I, then trust me, I can make time. So don't become jealous or think that I care more about my education than I do the people around me. I am aware of the things that are more important than money and work in life.

When you find out how much my family means to me, do not become overwhelmed. It's the best thing in the world seeing where someone comes from and meeting the people who raised the person you love. Family is so welcoming and they'll most likely make you feel like family the minute you walk in.

When you find out how much my friends mean to me, meet them. Do not become jealous of the guy friends I have, especially because we were not that friend group to serial date each other or sleep with one another. Believe it or not, it is possible to just be friends with the opposite sex!

When you find out that I usually know exactly what to say, when to say it, and how to say it, do not become afraid of that. Appreciate that that my parents taught me to think before I speak.

When you find out how much faith I have in humanity, do not ruin that for me. These rules apply. So by all means, if you cannot handle the basic characteristics of a strong human being, then do not waste my time and your own time.

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?
