You Are Right Where You Are Supposed To Be

Stop worrying, you are headed in the right direction.

You Are Right Where You Are Supposed To Be
Angela DeGenova

Have you ever had that feeling of pure happiness? You're surrounded by friends, blasting music, and driving around. The world seems silent like it's just you are driving through it. You know you're stressed and there is a lot going on in your life, but for this one moment none of that matters and everything is calm and okay. You forget your worries and just sit there and smile-Smile for no reason. You're just happy and for a second you realize everything is going to be okay and work out. You don’t want this night to end because you don’t want to fall back into reality.

Those are the moments I live for because they are a reminder that I am exactly where I'm supposed to be.

Life really is not all that complicated; we just seem to make it more difficult than it really is. Everything is not going to be perfect all the time and that is okay. We are young; we are going to live and make mistakes. We are going to get let down and be hurt, but what we have to remember is that none of this will matter in a few years. You will grow from every experience in your life, whether it be good or bad. We have to stop stressing and worrying over little things because they may seem like a big deal now but they won't in the future.

We are uncomfortable when our life is not going as planned or we face an obstacle. People do not like the idea of things not going perfectly. Yet, we have to learn to accept these difficulties we face during our lifetime because that is just how life is.

So drive around blasting music with your friends at night, go to parties, cry on the bathroom floor, and scream when your mad. Just live. Live it all and stop wishing the days away because you are right where you are supposed to be and maybe you can't see that right now, but you are. You are on the right path and all of these experiences are just preparing you for who you are supposed to become and the future you, so just continue to live it and enjoy it all.

A few years from now you'll look back on all of this. You will remember all of the moments that you thought you couldn't keep going. You will remember the breakup that you thought you would never get over, and the friends you thought you wouldn't lose. You'll remember it all and you will realize you should have never been so worried about life back then, because it was simple and you got past it. You were right where you were supposed to be all along.

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
