"Knowing you still have possibilities is a luxury." (Me Before You)

If you ever find yourself caught in an attempt to assemble together the empty puzzle pieces of your future, this quote can be very eye-opening. Quite possibly, these specific words can even halt any wishes of unraveling your life story before it even begins.

A fine differentiating line exists between planning and organizing. “Planning” is extremely concrete, as one pinpoints out exactly every component of their day to only develop a habit of orderliness to carry on with. “Organizing,” may be the more desirable route as harmonizing resources with ideas can make the future more enticing, creating the mystery of the unknown.

When we lean on organizing our life, rather than relying on every moment to go as planned, the period of the unfamiliarity may be one of the most thrilling components of life itself. Every day, we are given the opportunity to strive for one thing yet also given the chance to change our minds the next day, with the choice we end up making being acceptable.

If you want to hop on a plane, begin a new life; there is absolutely nothing wrong with this mindset. It is an actual gift to live in a world of infinite potentialities for when you are both young and aging.

At the end of the day, this may mean ultimately becoming “the bad guy” and making sacrifices, but the sheer thought of opening doors for unlimited possibilities is a breath of fresh air. With this being said, do not be afraid to ignore the constant bickering in the back of your mind persuading you to avoid taking the chance to travel where you wish to go, or do whatever it may be you want to do.

Never let anything hold you back.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
