I'm the Outsider moving forward

picture quotes

Outsider, I used to be that, wait I still am that, but I'm that outsider that is living life and moving forward with my life. I never saw my life moving forward. I couldn't see anything besides living at my moms and staying there forever, and yet I feel that way sometimes still, she won't let me do more things that would help me out in the long run. I know it's silly to say she will not let me do anything. But sadly it's true. I don't have a car and I only have a permit but no one will teach me how to drive. My friends and family are like you can just take the test and then be on your way, but honest I don't wanna be like every person out there that don't know how to drive on the main road. But even when I ask people don't wanna help me out when I have helped them out more times then they can count. The other thing is I have a learning disability but my mom treats it as I can't do anything.....I am a lot smarter than you think, I'm more independent more then most people that have it. So I try to do something to better my life but I get held back, Like always.....Then I get treated differently so much it's not even funny.

Now it's not bad living at my mom's I don't have to pay rent I just have to pay my cell phone and gas money to get places. But when I ask for a ride somewhere they get upset that I am asking this, well if they would teach me how to drive then I wouldn't be asking them I would be getting the car from them. So it's 2017 now, I'm sick of living here with my mom, and not having things how they should be since I don't get treated right here. I got a new job, that has more hours and it's more pay, it was time to change my life to get myself out of the place I am with, it's sad to leave my friends at my work now but I know it will be better for me no matter what. Even josh has told me it will be better for me and for us with us trying to move out and getting our lives together. I never was able to look forward in my life until I met him, he has changed me so much for the better and I am more ready to get my life started with him. we both have come along away with our lives and I am proud of him as much as he is with me. I know we will able to do this for ourselves.

Outsider, I am still that, I think I will always be that outsider that says around herself and stays away but I'm going to be that one outsider that makes it good in life.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
