Stepping Out Of Your Comfort Zone

Stepping out of your comfort zone and trying new things can seem like a very daunting thing, but trust me when I say that it can be one of the best things you can ever do for yourself. Whether it's going to a new place you have never been before or even being friends with people you never would have imagined. Lately, I have been reflecting in old moments in my life and realized how much I prevented my exposure because I was scared to step out of my comfort zone. Now I just want to keep talking about how important it is to break certain walls/boundaries and setting goals can be.

The best part about stepping out of your comfort zone is the power you feel from it. You are the only person that can know and can control what you are and aren't comfortable with. The definition of comfortability is in your hands. When stepping out of your comfort zone, it doesn't have to be a big major thing. It can be a little or big as you want.

Lastly, make sure you encourage other people around you to do the same! People must know the importance of stepping out of their comfort zones, as well as having that feeling of support around them. Sometimes having a support system is all you need. Don't feel obligated to have to leave your comfort zone, but just to expand it a tiny bit and If you're in a position where you literally cannot, don't be hard on yourself.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.
