Stop Worrying About Being Embarassed And Just Live

Because living is the whole idea...

Stop Worrying About Being Embarassed And Just Live
cocoparisienne

I have to say that people who live their life regardless of what people think or say have the right idea.

It feels impossible and definitely has a "too good to be true" ring to it. Living life how you want without letting anyone else impact it. Seems simple enough right? Wrong.

There are a plethora of people in this world that alter their behavior because "someone might hear me or see me." Which is pretty much a fear-filled approach to life. Instead why not try to unashamedly live life as yourself? Was there an instance where wanted to sing, but couldn't find your voice because the popular people were too close? Have you ever wanted to be friends with someone who the rest of your friends hated with a burning passion, so you walked away? How did you feel after that?

Think about it. How often do you spend more time over analyzing a situation before acting upon it? How many times did you not talk to someone or ask them out because you did not want to show that you are in fact human? How often have you imitated life instead of just lived it? I am just as guilty of it. In fact, I'm probably one of the biggest offenders.

I have lost friends, in more ways than one. I am full of regret for things I didn't say. But those situations gave me the best gift, a reminder to live my life every day. Not necessarily to live a "big" life, but just to live it.

Live your life, because you never know what your last moment with someone will be. Make the move, steal the kiss (with consent people), walk in your graduation ceremony, book the trip of your lifetime. Just do it. Because there are so many people will never have that opportunity again.

Whatever the mountain is that you have been too frightened to climb, scale it. If you fall, then fall. But get up and try it again. If you can't do it for yourself, do it for the those who will never have the courage to try.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
