Walking Away

Move on

Learning when to know it is a good time to walk away can be very hard. Sometimes it takes forever to realize that you're better off without either a negative person, a bad relationship, or anything in that context. Here are some examples of situations that should be left behind and you should walk away.

1: A bad relationship

If there is abuse within a relationship and you can not find any good reasons as to why you should stay, leave. It may sting for a while, but there is someone better out there that won't have to make you think why you are with them.

2: Bad friends

It's a true statement when people say, "friends come and go." Sometimes you may be lucky and find a life long friend, but now and days that is very rare. Many people now are fake and turn their back on the ones who were there for them all along. Occasionally in friend groups, if there is a conflict between you and a friend, that friend is most likely going to listen to the other friends that they call fake.If this happens, you don't need them and let them go.

3: Fights

Text message/ social media fights are the worst! Always let it go and leave it alone! Misunderstanding is such a big issue when it comes to this. You could mean something one way and then the other person could totally take it the wrong way and make it into something that it's not. Alway try and talk things out in person!

4: Work related problems

If you have either a boss that doesn't treat you well or other employees don't treat you well, don't put up with it. There are so many other opportunities out there and usually, there is more than one location for companies. If you don't feel welcomed or happy in a workplace, transfer, or find somewhere new.

5: Class group projects

Similar to the work related problems if people don't treat you well and let you do all the work, but the expect credit, don't do it. Do not put their names on the project, tell your professor. Ask if you can either change groups or work alone, never settle.

As I get older and have to learn how to deal with situations like these, I've learned it is best to just get rid of those negative things/ people in your life. They most likely will just hold you back and do nothing good for you! It is okay to let go and move on.

8 Things I Realized After My First Semester In College

Actually, Kylie Jenner, 2018 is the year of realizing things.

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

University of Dayton

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.
