A Letter To The Indecisive Student

Yes or No are words that sting your ears

A Letter To The Indecisive Student

It's always been hard for you to make decisions whether it's about to get the burger or the salad, or whether you should go out with friends or stay in. Yes and no answers are your worst nightmare because your opinion is based down the middle. Your political views may also be mixed. Pro-choice or pro-life may not be options to you because one side of you says a woman should choose, but the other says it's wrong to harm an unborn child. Others may find that intriguing about you, possibly in a good way and possibly not. But it's very important to remember that you are young and it's okay to not make fast decisions; it means you think more about your options and you don't want to jump into things and commit without really knowing what you are getting yourself into and gain more information. You obviously say yes and no to some things, but there are definitely times where you may have to sit there and brainstorm which answer is the best.

I have friends who wished they had read more customer reviews on products before buying them or got to know a guy more before jumping into a relationship. Jumping into relationships are the worst things you could do. It becomes awkward and you may barely know your boyfriend or girlfriend. Three or four months may go by and you break up because the honeymoon phase is over and you realize there was absolutely nothing in common between the two of you. That's why dating needs to happen again, go out and learn about each other and if things match up after awhile, get together. Keeping it slow for some things have made it worthwhile. Getting more information about a research paper before writing it may guarantee you a more detailed paper.

You're barely an adult and it's okay to make mistakes or be cautious about making them. Experience gets us places and you may need to think long and hard about how big an impact your next decision may make on your life. Deciding which college to go to is very difficult when you've applied to so many. To make the choice easier always make a pros and cons list of each school and think of which one gives you a better feeling about being there for the next four years or longer, if you choose a certain major. It's okay to not to want to jump into a committed relationship unless you believe the person is 100% worth it all, it's fine to say no and date around to see what you like. The only person stopping you from it is you. So next time a friend gets upset at you for not getting back to you on going to that party, don't feel bad because some indecisive people turn out more successful than others.

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.
