Sometimes I Wish I Could Be Irresponsible...

Just to be carefree... and watch a lot of Netflix.

If I could just not care about what happens in my life... everything would be a whole lot easier. I wouldn't be in college... I would do the bare minimum to get by and do whatever the hell I wanted... Sometimes that sounds so nice. I would love to just have one whole month where I wouldn't have to go to work, I wouldn't have homework, I wouldn't have to leave my room. A whole month with no rehearsals, no commitments. Just being able to do nothing for awhile and not having to feel guilty about it. As I type all of this out my mind begins to relax a little bit. It sounds AMAZING.

Lately my life has been so chaotic and so stressful that quitting sounds like a damn near perfect plan. No homework? Sleeping in? Dare I say being able socialize every once in awhile? That sounds pretty cool to me. That and the overwhelming amount of time that I would have to watch Netflix... it sounds pretty dang awesome.

But as amazing as all that may sound, would I actually be happy? Could someone find meaning in a life like that? Could anyone actually SUCCESSFULLY live a life like that? It makes me wonder..

But the important thing to realize is that if you have never had a thought like this... you may not be human. So keep fantasizing about a life with no responsibilities. And take every opportunity that you can to try and recoup from your crazy life every once in awhile.

But also don't forget to: (if you're me)

Go to EVERY class, do your homework, go to rehearsal, go to job number 1, go to job number 2, keep your room clean (okay, maybe just livable), feed your bunny, pay your bills, find time to eat, find time to sleep (when you're not working 3rd shift, going to class, going to a rehearsal, going to job number 2, or doing your homework), call your family and tell them you love them, shower more than twice a week... oh and breathe. Breathing is good.

Those are pretty much the bare essentials, for me anyways. But for the rest of you who have taken enough interest in my article title, JUST DO YOU. and sometimes, just do nothing (:

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
