Why Do You Hurry So?

When we rush a process, it will simply fall apart.

Why Do You Hurry So?
Word Press

We all have dreams that we wish would come true.

We all have desires that we crave with every beat of our heart.

We all have millions of ideas in our head, waiting to be created.

Yet more often than not, they never become anything but false dreams and false hopes.

These ideas, desires, and dreams never enter the physical world.

So comes the question: do we really want this?!

Is it futile to even think of it?

Why want something so bad that you would never do anything to make it true?

We need to start making steps to get what we want.

No matter how long the process is, you have to continue on. There is no need to rush, nor is there need to move at a staggering pace.

I know this next sentence must sound contradicting, however, it may help someone who is going after something they have waited so long to do, yet finds themselves at standstill. This person might find themselves frozen unable to move after going for what they want. This person may have started changing their lives for the better. They are finally going after what they want, yet at the same time they are rushing it; they have crossed the bridge without sparing a second glance at anything else.

Because of this, they are faced with many realities; in front of them is what they want yet they are unable to turn the knob.

My advice for those who have their desires and are making them a reality a warning for you and an advice...

We simply must not rush things to happen. Yes, you may have waited many years for it to occur, however, things must never be rushed--it should go at its own pace.

What happens when we rush?

We miss things; the small details that could bring everything together. The signs in which would help guide us.

When we rush we forget things, we dive into something that we have longed for however we are unprepared for it. When you skip steps to create, your creation will not last long, it will quickly crumble. How will you get help when you don't know how to retrace your steps? You are frozen in the situation you have created for yourself.

The reason why we take these cautionary steps is to solidfiy our future, to prepare ourselves for what is to come and for what we want. For when we finally reach our destination, we will be prepared for whatever unknown we face.

I may or may not know how bad of yearning you have, however, I can tell you this: we do not wish to see you fall, we do not wish to see you stuck with fear. We want you to grow, we want you get everything that this world has to offer. But be still because time is what we have. Our time is not granted for long; the great next adventure will claim us some sooner than later. However, you must live every second of the day, do not rush things because there is no time. So enjoy what time you do have.

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.

Whether you believe astrology is a legitimate "science" or not, we have all found ourselves looking at our horoscopes from time to time. The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

Each sign is determined by the relative positions of celestial bodies to ourselves at our moment of birth, which is said to influence our personalities. Find your zodiac GIF below, based on the traits and characteristics provided by each sign.

If you haven't read the first part of this, I would highly suggest to, specifically because the Public Service Announcement placed in the beginning of that article still applies. If you don't feel like reading part one, I will try to cover it quickly. Basically, long story short, I am a pretty boring person and lead a pretty ordinary life. Due to this, please do not expect for the things I consider ridiculous to be what others may deem it. I promise that each of these I have done with a complete sane, mildly bored, brain. With all of this being said, please enjoy the semi-absurd things I have been lead to do in the second semester of my freshman year at college.

College is supposed to be one of the best times of your life. However, it is also one of the toughest transitions to make. There is so much anticipation and excitement leading up to moving into college. It doesn’t truly hit you until move in day when your parents say their final goodbyes and you see their car drive away. You truly are on your own. I was blessed to meet my best friends within the first week of school. Your college friends are so important and here’s why:
