6 Ways To Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone

In This Article:

Sometimes it's hard to figure out when to just relax and take time for yourself, and when to reach out of your comfort zone. Living can get monotonous sometimes, so it's important to try new things and venture out of your comfort zone every once in a while. These might not be the same for everyone, but here are some ways I get out of my comfort zone.

1. Compliment a stranger

Giphy

Some people might think this is weird, but it surely brightens someone's day. Taking time to be nice to a complete stranger might be something out of the ordinary, but can be good for both parties.

2. Make travel plans to go somewhere you never thought you'd go

Giphy

There are plenty of ways to travel on the cheap side, and plenty of places to go that you might never have thought of before.

3. Go to that social event that makes you a bit nervous

Giphy

Yes, staying in and watching Netflix can be nice sometimes, but it's good to get out and be around people.

4. Try a new food

Giphy

Order something other than your normal chicken sandwich at Chick-fil-a. You never know, you might like it even better.

5. Sign up for a random club that interests you

Giphy

Same thing as last, you might find that you like it.

6. Take a class outside of your major/requirements that interests you

Giphy

Wanted to take an Art History class but your major is Biology? Do it anyways.

Try new things, venture out of your comfort zone, and be adventurous every once in a while.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
