Why You Should Never Get Too Comfortable

Change is a good thing.

Why You Should Never Get Too Comfortable

My personal motto has always been to look out for yourself, because in the end no one ultimately understands what you truly want. Creating the image of having a simple temporary happiness is more reliant in not getting hurt in the long run. As much as people deny it, people change which causes things to change. You let down your guard as soon as the walls start coming down. Sure, things may seem well or you may get tired of trying so you plan to simply settle, however, this creates the notion in your head that you will be accepting of the “good enough” instead of being the “best”. Always striving to have the best for you should be the ultimate goal.

Being safe and comfortable sounds the most comforting, but is it such a bad thing to want more out of life? Creating new goals and going through different personal experiences is what makes everything worthwhile. Going out of your comfort zone to fulfill your capabilities and living to the full extent of your life can go further than anything you will need for full satisfaction within yourself. Life is uncertain and as most of you have seen in your daily occurrences there will always be unexpected obstacles that come your way that you will be forced to overcome. By overtaking that challenge, you are challenging yourself because you know you’re able to do better. By acquiring that mindset, you can strive for bigger goals, the good can be turned into better.

As it goes with being too comfortable with others, realize that people change too. One day they might wake up wanting one thing and wake up the morning after wanting something else. That again is life coming to bring more unexpected curves down your path. You never know anything for certain in life, including the people that will stay in your life and those who may only be temporarily there as a lesson learned.

Having the image of always moving around in a constant rush rather than settling seems uneasy at first but realize that it’s what you’re doing every day. Simple things like figuring out what you’ll have for lunch or taking a different route to work can change things from the simple norm. By changing the original, you end up getting different outcomes. Different outcomes is what you'll want to choose especially when it comes down to the people you want in your life and how you want to live that life.

The whole point to all of this is, never settle for less. Even though you may say you don’t know what you want, deep down there is something every individual needs and that is happiness. By keeping your mind open to the possibilities of reaching your utmost goal can reach your ultimate satisfaction.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
