Check Your Watch, It Is Time To Start Being Selfish

I am one of those people that puts everyone before themselves.

I am one of those people that care about everyone who comes into my life.

I am one of those people that thinks about themselves last.

So now is the time, it is finally time that I put myself first.

I am ready to be selfish. I am ready to put myself before everyone else. I am ready to focus on my future. It is time.

I have been given so many opportunities within the past year, and I cannot wait to see where each and every one of them take me.

For as long as I can remember, I have always helped others. Yes, which I know isn’t all bad, but when everyone else comes before yourself, it is draining. I help everyone with their problems, I take care of their sh*t. I handle their issues. It has become so overwhelming and draining, I am over it.

I am ready to put my issues first, I am ready to put my future at the top of my priority list. I am ready to start doing things for me.

No one puts me first, while I am putting everyone around me before myself. It is finally time that someone puts me first and that someone is going to be me.

I am ready to better myself and take full advantage of the opportunities that I have been blessed with.

So hey, things are going to be changing, but in a good way. Things are changing, and I am SO ready.

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
