Our world is bigger than just me and the porch I’m sitting on.

10 Mini Existential Crises I Have When I Look Up At The Night Sky

Some of the most peaceful times I have are at night, typically by myself on the porch or just sitting on a bench on my university's campus. A lot of the time, I just think about how my day has gone or how much I still have to do, even though it's only a couple hours until the day ends. This is what I think of in those rare moments where I don't stress about my personal life.

“I will never be able to comprehend how big our universe is and it hurts my brain to try.”

thinking

It's a big world out there, and it's hard to wrap my head around just how much of it there is. So much that we can't even find where it ends, if it even does.

“There is life all around me that I’m not even thinking of.”

disgusted face

Do you ever think of how many bugs or animals are around you that you can’t hear, see, or feel? I sure do.

“The moon is really out here being 238,900 miles from Earth, but looking like it’s one mile away, huh?”

My perception of distance is already wack, but this always makes me feel weird.

“I will never see a night that is exactly like this again.”

x factor

I don't know why, but I always think too hard about the fact that no two things are perfectly alike, including settings. And let me tell you, that isn't fun to think about for too long.

“I think I’m a very unique looking person because I’m used to myself, but a random passerby would probably never be able to recognize me.”

Sort of makes me feel less special.

“People have different versions of me in their minds that I have no idea of.”

emperors new groove

I just hope that they’re positive.

“I wish there were ways to be sure that my pets are happy with their lives.”

If they aren’t, I might just cry. For real.

“My future self probably hates me.”

I mean, they have every right to, probably. Hopefully this is not my peak.

“I’ll see everybody for a last time at some point, but I will never know when that time is.”

I think we should learn to cherish every moment we have with others in our lives. Live every day like it's your last, even if it's hard to.

“I won't always be in my teens. I’ll have to start my life eventually.”

getting old

That's pretty scary. Sometimes, I wish I were Peter Pan. There are times I wish I would never grow up.

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.
