When You Know, You Know

Everything happens for a reason.

As a firm believer in the universe, I try to live my life based on the cliche quotes that you've likely tweeted one too many times. My favorite quote is a line by Marilyn Monroe, I believe that everything happens for a reason. For a while, no matter what happened, I was constantly telling myself that, no matter the circumstance or result, it was supposed to happen. At times I thought, there is no way this is supposed to happen like that, but I trusted the universe and just let it takes it course, and I am forever grateful I did.

Recently, I've began a life in the city. It's not something I was completely familiar with, but had an idea about. I left my friends at my old school, and am seeking new friends at my current school, and although these aren't always the easiest circumstances as a junior in college, I know it is completely worth it. I'm aware of this because of the feelings that overtake my body as I go class to class, and live life day after day. I can honestly say I know the exact reason that l transferred, and moved to the city: to be utterly and confidently happy. The city is a place that already has my whole heart and happiness, and it has only been about a week.

I have a constant feeling of excitement and pure joy like never before. Although, at times, I am unsure of many things, this is something I am positive about.

I'm not writing this to share my story about how I transferred, but rather, to let all my readers know that, it is okay to trust your gut. Those around you may appear to have believe they know what's in your best interest, but the only person that genuinely does is you. For some crazy reason, something invisible to the human eye has an incredible way of changing your life. If you feel like you're in the right place, you likely are, and vice versa. Our body's know us more than we give them credit for.

Trust your journey in life, because everything that happens is likely preparing you for substantial merriment.

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!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
