Reality Check: Not Everyone Is Going To Like You

We've reached 2016, it's time to stop trying so hard. It's time to stop caring so much about what others think of us and we need to go on.

Not everyone is going to like you, especially when you begin to enter your young adult age. In high school you might've been labeled as a sweet heart but college somebody will get the wrong impression of you. This happens, you cannot control what people think. You can only influence other people's opinions so much, but at the end of the day they really don't care. Hopefully, what I like to believe is that people won't always go off of first impressions and they will give out second chances, but a lot of times they stick to what they assume they know.

Maybe you are a sweet heart but not every person is going to see you that way, it doesn't matter why because they are irrelevant.

Stop caring so much about what people think of you. I don't mean call them out and get riled up about it. I mean take it in, and move on. Whether they have a good reason not to like you or not, it doesn't affect you. Don't let it get to you.

I've always wanted people to like me, it was important to me to know I was being a good person and doing everything right.

In reality, you can't do everything right, you can't please everyone.

Not all personalities mesh well together, and that's fine because everyone is different.

You can still be a good person and not have somebody like you.

You can also be kind to the people that don't like you and you should.

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?
