The Basis of Myself

Who am I, what do I want, and how should I achieve it?

The Basis of Myself

I need to be 100% honest with myself and with this website, I created an account to get in contact with an individual I am interested in talking to. As I kept creating this profile I own, I realized the things I could accomplish by having an outlet to blab about things that most people will not care about, and maybe I don't blame you.

However, I must then state that the things I am concerned about are things you definitely actually should be too. Whoever you are and wherever you are, the overarching problems we have are most likely similar, if not identical.

Trying to sound as least dramatic as I possibly can, I actually feel like I have wasted my entire life. Yes, I have had a plethora of fun times, and played sports, and been hurt, and learned so much about the world around me and more importantly about myself. But I have been thinking as of lately: what difference have I made?

What difference have I made on myself? What difference have I made on those around me and what impact will I have on those I will never meet again? How have I changed something, anything, for the better? How can I?

These questions are terrifying to think about, but also inspiring. What haven't I done is a lot easier to answer than what I have done, because truthfully there is a lot I haven't done.

I want to share my life, and I want it to be truthful, and I want it to be real, and most of all I want it to make a difference. If the only difference it makes is on myself, then I can consider it successful.

Cheers and ciao!

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
