Sometimes you have on weeks. Everything goes just according to plan, you get the grade you wanted, the job you applied for and your schedule pans out exactly as expected- even including the 5:30 a.m. gym sesh you had planned.

But then sometimes, well sometimes, you have off weeks.

You know: those weeks where you feel like you break down the minute you think about anything. But then you end up thinking about everything so you sob anyways? Yeah, those weeks.

But you know what I’ve realized? Cry.

It’s OK to not have it all together.

Life isn’t always together.

Life is the unexpected and life is what makes the unexpected both amazingly beautiful and horrendously frightening at the same time.

Right now for example, I’m faced with a sort of identity crisis.

I’m a senior year student, with no job and no real idea about what she’s doing next year (or the year after that for that matter)… and yet, you know what I came to realize?

I’m 10000% not alone.

So many of my friends (and yes, even the ones that do have jobs) don’t have it together.

And that’s a-OK. Life is also about figuring it out along the way. That’s the beauty of it.

My number one advice that I always give (and should now be listening to) is: Go with the flow.

Don’t believe me? One of my closest friends last year for my birthday made me a DIY sign of it.

That’s how much I think we should live by that motto.

Going with the flow opens up doors and windows that you never thought could be capable of being opened.So, yes it’s scary to not know what’s in store for you but isn’t that kind of a great thing too?

Doesn’t it also mean that there are still a hundred other options you could follow?

This article isn’t really going to give you any advice because I’m 21 and about the only thing I know how to really do is be a student. So, I don’t have any worldly knowledge or real guidance for the people that may feel as lost as I do at times.

But that doesn’t mean that I haven’t learned some tips and tricks along the way.

Through the challenges and downfalls, I learned that it’s so important to focus on you. Focus and realize where you were, where you are and where you’ll be. Realize the progress, address the faults and keep moving forward.
