Why Worry?

It just causes more anxiety.

Why Worry?
GymLion

Everyone worries from time to time about various things. It’s human. A bit of the heart-racing and sweaty palms is common. Some things aren’t worth worrying about though. Whatever you are worrying about, you probably have no control over. All you can do is try your best in the situation. The outcome is usually not up to you in the end, so why worry about it? Fate will have its way and find the right path for you.

Lately, when I worry about something, I find that the situation ends up fine, and I had nothing to worry about. I realized that worrying about something is pointless. What do you gain from worrying? Absolutely nothing. It doesn’t change the outcome of the situation you’re worrying about. It doesn’t help persuade the situation to be in your favor. It does nothing but gives you anxiety.

Keeping the mindset of “worrying does nothing for you” can improve the way you live. Obviously, there are some events you may run into where your heart is racing, and you can’t help it. That’s understandable, but constantly thinking about the situation will not benefit you. Keep this in mind the next time you’re going to worry about something: It does nothing for you.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
