Why Living Spontaneously Is The Best Way To Live

Living life spontaneously is just so much more fun than always having a plan and making sure everything goes accordingly.

I'm a big proponent of living life spontaneously; it just makes it so much more fun. Yes, there are several things you can't just decide randomly at the last minute, like where you are going to go to college; but, there are several things you can decided last minute. In today's time, everything needs to be planned out. I feel like people are asking kindergartners where they want to go to college and what they want to study. But having some spontaneity in your life is good thing. It makes life more fun and lets so many more memories be formed.

A lot of my favorite memories in life are ones that were not planned out but last second decisions. Sometimes you need to just be like, "Hey, lets go to do this," not think about it. Just go and do it. It makes things more fun. Living in the moment and just doing what sounds fun at that point in time is so great. You can look back on it later and be like can you believe we did that?

Thursday morning, I woke up and said, "I wanna go get my nose pierced." Because I had class all day, I couldn't go, but by Friday afternoon I got it done. I didn't think about it I just did it and I love it. In the past, my friends and I would randomly be like, "Lets go get shakes at Steak n' Shake," or decide to drive down to IU last second. Being spontaneous doesn't mean you have to go out and do something big, it can be little things like going to Steak n' Shake at 2 in the morning. Just doing things to have fun and make memories.

Join that club you've been wanting to join, go visit that friend you haven't seen in a while, or go to that fancy restaurant for dinner just because. Live life to the fullest and make the most of it because life doesn't last forever. Make those memories that will last a life time because those are the ones worth keeping.

Living life spontaneously is just so much more fun than always having a plan and making sure everything goes to plan. Sometimes plans fail and then what? You're upset that things couldn't go as planned but when you make spontaneous last minutes decisions you can't be upset when things don't go as planned because there was never a plan to begin with. So I challenge you go out and be spontaneous this week do something without planning it out and have fun.

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.
