No Tomorrow

It is time to stop making excuses; live today.

It can be so easy to fall into the mindset of tomorrow, with excuses like, "there is always tomorrow," "I will do it when i am older and have more money," "things are crazy right now, i will do it when things calm down."

The problem is, how often do we run out of time because we keep waiting for tomorrow?

The fact of the matter is that there will never be the perfect time. Humans have a certain talent for making up excuses. If we really tried we could come up with an excuse, probably multiple excuses for anything. Instead, we need to change our mindsets to take opportunity by the horns and make it the perfect time to pursue our dreams. So often people leave their bucket lists until they know that they are running out of time. Their health may be compromised and it is much harder to complete what we spent our whole lives saying we would do.

So why do we not go abroad when we are young? Rarely, will we reach a life stage where we have money, time and energy. So take the chances, gain the experiences and live the adventurous life that you want to. Be brave enough to step our of your comfort zone to accomplish the adventures that you want.

Especially college students, there are so many opportunities to go abroad to travel and experience the world. Now is the time to do it, before working full time, paying numerous monthly bills trying to get by. Use the study abroad opportunities and gain experiences that will last a lifetime. Yes, you can always travel but just because you are 19 or in your early 20's do not fall into the mindset that you are too young and can always travel later.

This mindset goes for anything. Something as simple as i can check this off of my to-do list today. To something as big as wanting to go back packing across Europe, to visit the Grand Canyon or to go sky diving. So often people go through their lives waiting for the perfect moment to live these great adventures. And far too often they kept putting it off and never end up getting around to it.

Planning can be very good. Helping people get organized. But do not plan your life to the point that you never actually get around to what you have spent all of your time planning. Sometimes it truly is best to just...

GO.

Sometimes you need to act like there is no tomorrow. Some days you need to live like it was your last. Eventually you will need to say, "this is the day." To throw yourself out of your comfort zone, you will thank yourself for it later.

Go out and live the adventure that you have been dreaming about.

Go.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
