To The Girl Who Needs To Stop Rushing Everything

You may feel like just because something starts out good that it'll stay that way. But things change all the time, whether we want them to or not.

To The Girl Who Needs To Stop Rushing Everything

You may feel like you have to figure out everything in life. Maybe you feel like if you have it all planned out everything will fall into place as it should. You may feel like just because something starts out good that it'll stay that way. But things change all the time, whether we want them to or not. Sometimes we need to just take things day by day.

Sometimes we need to just relax and let life figure itself out. There's no need to rush anything, whether it be about college, relationships or whatever, take it day by day. Life has a way of figuring itself out and we just need to let it figure itself out sometimes, we can't always try to control everything we do.

We are only humans and can handle so much. We try so hard to figure things out and end up rushing everything and things don't always work out the way that we want or expect them to. I can speak from experience, I rushed everything in college thinking that if I just got what I needed to be done I'd be fine, but it then turned out not to be in my favor.

I have also rushed relationships. Instead of taking the time to actually get to know someone I had started a relationship and now I'm taking the time to get to know them as friends and focusing on school so I can get my life to where I want it to be. I rushed myself into things I wasn't ready for and it set me back to the starting line.

Letting life come to you has its perks. You take college day by day and focus on that. You let love come when it should and let that grow over time. Rushing things never works out as planned, if it has then you're lucky because I know quite a few people that rush things and it never worked out in their favor. Life has its own plan for us and we can never really stop it.

We can't control parts of our lives. Things happen that are just so out of our control, but our control is really just an illusion. Stepping back and letting things happen will let things work themselves out and our needs will be met with time. By letting these things happen, you don't have to stress about anything.

You can sit back and smile for all the things to come. Maybe things don't work out the way you want, but the outcome that you are heading to might be even better than what you are planning. Accept that things will always change and sometimes for the better. Watching things work out will have you learning so much. You learn more about how the world works without controlling every little bit of it. Who knows you might even end up happier because of it.

I know we can't just sit back and watch for everything, there are things that we need to do to put food on the table and everything else we need. Don't let it stop you from doing what you need to do as a priority but some things are better when you let them come to you and not you trying to come to something that may not be where you need to be.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
