When Rebelling Becomes Tiring

The Five Stages

Prosperity Logic

Rebelling is something so intriguing, especially for the youth. It is quite normal for people to try a new routine, or way of life after living a life that seems to be TOO "normal."

When one wants to experience new things and learn from them, they rebel—and that's totally fine. Sometimes it's best to rebel and get first-hand experience to understand the choices you'd like to continue making and which ones you'd like to leave behind.

Otherwise, we might be going on in life, with eyes blindfolded. We will go on in life, judging people (even if not doing so externally, we internally and innately do indeed judge others, sometimes even without us noticing).

Rebelling is an art. It takes a lot of guts and energy to try new things and rebel in any sense. It can be something as trivial as finally blocking all of those contacts that were toxic to you. Rebelling is something you've never felt comfortable with until you started getting tired of the same old sadness and boredom.

Nevertheless, there are certain stages of rebelling that every rebel has to go through:

1. Should I, or shouldn't I?

2. The Pre-Experiment

3. I'm too lazy to rebel

4. The Experiment

5. Number 1 again, but still rebelling

Rebelling can be something as little as drinking soda while on a diet, or as great as coming home super late.

But when does rebellion become tiring or tedious?

When you're unhappy. Rebellion becomes a chore when it starts making you unhappy--maybe not at the moment, but later. You start overthinking, overanalyzing, and it starts ruining all of your relationships and becomes an obstacle in between your goals and future.

Rebelling is perfectly fine unless 1) you're unhappy with the mere fact of rebelling or the consequences 2) it starts affecting your goals, relationships, future, and self.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
