It’s Okay To Be Uncomfortable

This too shall pass, it's all a learning experience.

It’s Okay To Be Uncomfortable
Dynamic Consultants

So you go to college.

You move in. Meet your roommate. You’re polite. You go to mandatory meetings and such, and it's not so fun. You sign up for classes, confirm your enrollment, then eventually you have to go to those classes you’re paying so much money for.

In the midst of it all, you’re in a totally new atmosphere, and you know practically nothing, and a lot of the people around you don’t know that much either. It’s okay, it’s a learning experience for everyone.

But to top that, you are constantly meeting people, and those people are also going through the same adjustments as you.

All in all, not many people are comfortable. You’ll find a bunch of people trying to impress one an other, and another large amount of students feeling like they don’t belong there.

That's normal, too. Just another learning experience.

But all these mixed up, unsettled people are making interactions with each other.

Which can be kind of exhausting.

There is only a certain extent of gravity two people can reach when asking questions like, “Where are you from?" “What’s your major?" “Why did you chose this school?"

It truly, truly is exhausting. And draining. You don’t want to be alone!

But patience, grasshopper.

Everything in life is only temporary. All feelings are fleeting, and all types of situations also quickly pass as well.

And then its time to get adjusted to the next circumstance.

But before that, there is a lot to look forward too.

You don’t grow if you don’t step out of your comfort zone.

So maybe it’s okay to be uncomfortable.

The discomfort will soon pass. This too, will also be, OK.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
