Pressing Redo

If you could, would you?

Have you ever considered what moment you would go back and experience or even change if it was possible? This has always been one of my favorite questions because there are so many wonderful things that happen to a person, how could you only choose one? I have spent a lot of time in thought over this one question, but I finally came up with an answer. My answer.

If I could go back in time to change something I have already done, to have the option to redo something I wouldn't change what I had done, I would simply experience it again. I have no regrets for the actions I have taken, I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. As horrible as it sounds I would pick a time that brought me to my knees with sorrow and self doubt, because in this pain I found myself.

In this moment in time I questioned everything about the person I was because I wanted to know why, why this had happened to me, what I had done to deserve it. Pain and sorrow wear on a soul, but happiness is only best in the moment it was designed for. I believe going back to a moment of self questioning would change my outlook, I could understand just why. Maybe I could actually be okay with it.

Without the bitter the sweets would not be as sweet. Nothing can ever be worth it if there wasnt something in the way. How can one feel accomplishment if there were no hardships on the way? How can one appreciate genuine love when they have never feel heartache? Do you really know if you are high if you have never felt low?

So think about this, if you could go back in time and experience or change anything you have ever done; what moment would you choose?

8 Things I Realized After My First Semester In College

Actually, Kylie Jenner, 2018 is the year of realizing things.

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.
