To The People That Say They Don't Have The Time

Put those plans into action and stop daydreaming about them.

To The People That Say They Don't Have The Time
Alexa DeClue

You have probably said it a time or two yourself. The infamous line "I don't think that I will have time for that". Those words get under my skin like no other because there is always time. If it is something that you are passionate about you can make time. You can make your schedule work to do whatever it is you want to do, you just have to be determined and willing to work for it.

It all lies in the way you time manage and plan ahead. It's kinda like when you were a kid, you would get home, do your homework, and then you could outside and play. Life works the same way when you grow up as well, though it is on a larger scale. If you want to go out one night, you need to make sure that you get all of your homework/studying done, as well as any chores that need to be completed. You set a plan out to make sure that you could do something that you wanted to do.

So, stop saying that you cannot do something. If it is something you truly wish to do, you can do it. Break out that planner or your calendar on your phone and figure it out. Life is all about choices and those choices include planning. If you know that you want to do something in the future, start planning now.

Be your own self-advocate and go get'em! Stop letting the world pass you by and get your foot in the door. Start planning now and just be responsible. Life isn't going to slow down for anyone because that is just the way it works. It is not one of those things where you can just dip your toe in the water to see if it is fine. You need to dive straight in and start swimming. You may not have anyone there to hold your hand but you will feel that much more accomplished if you do it one your own. Those who are successful are go-getters, they don't take no for answer.

So don't just do something just to do it. Be passionate about it and really want to get involved. Stop saying that you don't have time for it because there is always a way. Put those plans into action and stop daydreaming about them.

The world is out there waiting for you, so why are you?

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
