Trial And Error

Thriving for less worries and less craziness.

My favorite part about the ocean is feeling so small.

Fewer worries, fewer emotions and less craziness in the world for those few moments are always worth it. Nowadays, while watching and hearing about the craziness in this world, it’s challenging to choose to focus on the good parts.

Everyone has a different interpretation of this world. We have the choice to see this world as deadly, cruel and destructive. We can see it as hopeless and depressing.

Even though I do get in those funks sometimes where I get sad about what our world has been, I see it as a perfect time to have a chance to make a difference and experience true love with real people. In my opinion, our world needs more people who aren’t going to be afraid to forgive, who aren’t going to be afraid to love people without fearing of not being loved back, who aren't afraid to go against the norm or help as many people as you can without asking for anything in return. Things aren’t going to go perfectly by any means, and people aren't always going to agree with you or appreciate you.

Life is a big game of trial and error. The beauty of this is finding out the real people of the world, helping people in need and finding true happiness in whatever that maybe.

Let’s be less focused on the hating and more focused on things that actually matter by caring for one another through thick and thin and realizing this life isn’t forever.

Always find the good in the world, even if it’s hard to recognize, because life is too dang short for negativity.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"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!
