I don't know why we all overthink things to the point of denying whatever opportunity comes our way. Have you ever thought about what you miss out on? There are so many beautiful yet precious things in life to think about and deal with, but we all seem to skip over them. We don't think about how we try out new things, say yes to make changes and keep up with life in a straightforward manner. However, why do we keep making things so complicated?

If I'd keep a list of how many invitations and events I declined, it would total up to a maximum of about ten. I can truly agree how easy it is to say no to everything but yes to only a few things that are not even as precious. That being said, It's extremely important and absolutely healthy for people to mingle with each other at least once a week or so. You never know how many smiles you can light up in a room full of people. Frankly, we all seem to be hung up on the fact of self-denial.

Sometimes, you don't even need to mingle with people who aren't like you in the least. You could meet with people from all backgrounds and interests and still get to know them. Why not just break the barrier? It's ironic how they might end up doing so, too. Those people might find an open pathway to making friends with someone they wouldn't have dreamed of in the first place.

In reality, I would explore all options and say yes to everything that might seem a bit too different for me.

For starters, I'd say the best way to reinvent everything we do is to say "yes" to trying out a new food you don't think you'd like, dressing up in different ways you'd never thought of in the first place, and visit places more often. Besides, everyone loves a challenge. And yes, college is the perfect way to explore them. Take up new classes, say " yes" to being a proud New Yorker instead of an unhappy one, and breathe—relive life, even if you feel a bit lost in the grand scheme of things!
