Why It Doesn't Matter

Worrying changes nothing.

Why It Doesn't Matter
Tumblr

I find myself—all too often—wondering how the future will play itself out. How will the day go? Will I come out on top? Will it be embarrassing? All of the best and worst possible situations scatter my thoughts.

I guess I'm lucky to say I've had a realization that it honestly doesn't matter. The worry and the obsession of everything needing to go your way will never change what is actually going to happen. No matter how many times you dream or fight against a future event - it will or won't happen with absolutely no thanks to you. People will come and go from your life as they please - maybe a few times. You could find yourself sitting at Starbucks with someone you never thought you would speak to again. You could decide to leave someone you never thought you could bare a day without. The truth is, predicting life is impossible.

You don't have to torture your mind with what-if's, maybe's, and I-hope-not's. It is what it is and it will be what it will be. The truth of the matter is that you don't have any clue what the world has in store for you- you could never even guess. That is the beauty of life. The quicker you embrace it, the happier you'll be. Enjoy the good, learn from the bad, and let go. Don't hold yourself down to your own thoughts. Life is a whole lot more than that.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
