Life is full of choices. We wake up everyday and decide what to do. We make choices. Some small, some large. Maybe the choice is between getting a coffee or a tear. Or, maybe changing your major or not. I have made many choices in my 19 years of living. A lot of them have been terrible. Here's 12 things I will just never, ever do again.
1. Schedule an 8 am class.
Need I say more? This was one of the worst decisions of my life. Seriously. I wish I was kidding. On 2 occasions I woke up late and sprinted to my class. It's just to early. Find a different time for that class. You'll thank me.
2. Continued to date the boy who my mom warned me about.
Now, mother isn't always right, but when it came to the slug of a boyfriend, she was. Your mom will usually be the first one to tell you if something isn't right, and she's usually spot on. I spent too long with a guy who couldn't give 2 shits about me, all the while, my mom was telling me he wasn't worth it. I wish I listened.
3. Lead people on.
Back in my day, I was pretty known for this. I am not proud of it. Which is why it's on this list. Don't do it, kids. You'll regret it, trust me.
4. Take a selfie.
Alright people, I am tried of it. I used to take selfies like a queen in freshman and sophomore year of high school. I don't even know how to anymore. Do you boo, but me? I am done. I am too awkward for it. That meme of only showing your forehead on snapchat? That's me. That's all I do.
5. Let what people have to say about me get to my head.
I don't know who hasn't cared about what others say about them. I cared too much. When everyone was having fun at pep rallys, I would just stand there. I didn't want anyone to see me dancing or doing anything that could be seen as "embarrassing." Well you know what? I also didn't have any fun in high school. So, screw it. Everyone can laugh at me and I will still be having fun.
6. Burpees.
Just, no.
7. Putting my jeans in the dryer.
Who does this? Who wants to suffer in this way? Your jeans lost the comfy feeling when you dry them. Don't do it. It's the worst. I don't get it. I had to dry my jeans one time, ONE time! It was the worst experience. I was uncomfortable most of the day. If you put your jeans in the dryer, next time, don't.
8. Have the complex that men have to get ahold of me first.
This mindset just sucks. I had it for too long. I would wait around for a guy to text me, when I could have easily reached out first. But, no. I had to wait in my bed, somehow getting mad, because he wasn't getting ahold of me. Protip: just send the damn text. It's 2018, who cares?
9. Write this article.
Okay, just a joke. But, seriously, I won't be writing this article ever again, so it qualifies.
Some jokes, some serious, but all lessons. And, also, all things I won't ever do again. Learn from me, please. I went through a lot to realize these things. Especially the jeans thing. That was the worst.
