There Is Never Enough Time

It's difficult to get past your emotions and logically make the decision to make more time.

There Is Never Enough Time
Lorir Taylor

Certain moments in life have the power to take anyone by surprise. Usually those moments happen when least expected, and when there’s barely any time to devote to that moment. It can come in the form of family, work, school, personal friendships/relationships, etc. Practically anything and anyone has a chance to be this type of moment in life, and it’s difficult to determine what to do at that moment.

Maybe a family member has passed suddenly, a relationship with a significant other didn’t work out the way it was supposed to, or it could be as simple as school finals rearing their ugly head, all these types of events can lead to a moment of surprise. After that moment takes place the most difficult action comes next.

What to do next?

The emotions that take over a person’s mind, after experiencing their moment of surprise, can lead to an indecisive train of thought. It’s hard to make decisions when emotions are running high. That’s what these types of moments can do to a person. They change everything about life, and they also leave a reminder to the world. That reminder is that there never seems to be enough time.

Now that the moment has passed, emotions are dialed down, and logic has come back into the equation a lot of time has passed. That’s means that once again people reminded that there never seems to be enough time. It’s difficult to cope with such a reminder; however, I have a solution. The solution is that for someone to feel that there’s not enough time, they must put in the effort to make the time. The truth is that life will always be on the go, and even when life altering moments take some surprise, it doesn’t stop the cycle of life from moving forward.

The hard truth is that eventually everyone must move forward, and to do that, everyone must make the time to move forward. There truly is never enough time in the day. But we can’t dwell on that realization, if we do then we waste the time we have left. Once again the hard truth is simple. Put in effort to make time.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.
