Adjustments and Adventures

So things are looking up, one more exam to go yay! I can say work this semester has been pressure but I have enjoyed almost all the moments of being a University student and as far as first years go, it has been fun.

Biggest thing of all about the first year of university is adjusting to life on your own. I won't say I was cuddled at home, chores and rules played a major role in my life but atleast on the meal front my mom and dad had that covered, and covered excellently I might add :> excellent cooks the both of them and I'm not just saying that, there are others who bare witness to that fact.

It was also the adjusting to life on hall, it can be very exciting, the parties, the comraderie,hanging out and making new friends and all that but it also has some restrictions in that your presence is required at all meetings, people expect you to lead the way by appearing at events and stuff along those lines.

And of course the big one, living with atleast fifty other people in one house, who don't always know how to clean up after themselves in a kitchen. For the first semester I lived off of microwave food because I can't handle cooking in a kitchen where other people mess it up and I'm not taking a plate here or a cup there, I mean a full out mess...EWWWW

Its really good that I had this experience though. I know I can be independent,  Being a twin it was important for me to know this, I haven't been away from my sister for more than a week, before this experience and we still talk regularly, she is still my bestest friend in the whole world. And I also know that I am able to ask for help should I need it.

Well all I can say is, for those who haven't experienced life on your own, take a vacation by yourself for about two weeks, most people leave home to move in directly with a boyfriend or girlfriend but you need the time alone to see how you manage it, and then you can live with someone else easier.

So take a risk in your life at some point, shake up your routine, dye your hair, go meet someone new if you can, just do something adventurous and life your life for one moment and shake it up . To that note, what is the most adventurous thing you have done for the betterment of yourself?

Here's to positive people.

  1. Can't think of that right now, probably nothing significant but I will soon, I so want to travel alone, by that I mean without parents or adult supervision like it was in the past. I'm almost 21 now so that will be my next biggest adventure
