I used to be the type of person who thought it made sense to plan out everything. In the past few months, I have realized life is a lot better when you don't try to plan things and just go with the flow. Honestly, life doesn't exactly take what we want into consideration sometimes; you can plan all you want for the future but you never know what is going to happen. I think that sometimes we get so caught up in how something is supposed to end up we become disappointed when it doesn't turn out that way.

I believe that everything happens for a reason though. Maybe sometimes things don't go exactly they way we plan them, so something better can fall into place. Maybe some things happen to teach us a lesson or to make us focus on something new. Other times things might happen to test our character or to help us become better people.

As college students, we have a lot of pressure on is. It's easy to get upset, if we don't get that internship or earn a starting spot on the team. I think though if we all just keep in mind things don't always go as planned and there is a reason for everything, it will help us deal with disappointments in a much better way.
