With growing up comes making decisions.

Some are small and not so important, like deciding what to wear to class.

Others are detrimental, like declaring your major or accepting an internship.

Recently, I have found myself in many decision-making instances. My sophomore year of college has just begun and way too many things have been thrown at me.

I now live in an apartment with three other roommates. Not only do we each have our own bathrooms and bedrooms, but we have a full kitchen, too.

Ok, so what?

Well, now I have to buy my own groceries, make my own meals, clean, and act like an adult.

Freshman year of college allowed many free passes. It was okay to be clueless, but now it's the real deal.

These little decisions that I make now (money choices, to use a meal swipe or not) can and will have consequences, no matter how small.

So now onto the real reason, I chose this topic.

I'm a sister of Phi Sigma Sigma, and recently a number of Executive Council positions opened up for this semester. My ~big~ encouraged me to apply for as many positions as possible, telling me I'd be a perfect candidate.

I definitely pictured myself holding a position someday, but all of a sudden that "someday" was today and I decided to go for it. Positions look good on resumes and I definitely need to build mine up.

Fast forward to move-in day (August 26th) and I received a phone call from my Vice President, offering me the Fundraising Chair position.

Nervous, I asked if I could think about it and give her a call back. Later that night, I accepted it.

Overall, it's important to do things that scare you.

Put yourself in situations that make you uncomfortable. Without these steps, you really won't change. And who wants to remain the same their whole life?

Someone once told me they do something every day that sucks. Being uncomfortable is definitely something that sucks, so try to live by those words.
