Nothing in our lives is a straight line. There aren’t many decisions we make that will last a lifetime. Sometimes we choose for it to be like that, and other times we don’t have a choice in the matter due to responsibilities. I want to talk about taking the scenic route in life because there is always so much pressure around us. Eighteen may be the legal age to become an adult, but I honestly believe that we don’t become adults until we are 21 or 22. Making all of these hard life decisions so early and having to stick to them is a ridiculous idea. We should be able to enjoy every point in our life to some degree.

In the spirit of giving and making things easier for you, I’m going to give you some tips and tricks on how to actually talk to people about yourself and talk to strangers.
Read MoreLast season, I talked about losing friends and finding new ones. Sadly, as we grow older, that starts to happen. We lose friends, and at some point, we will need to start making new ones because we can’t just have one. We grow apart, go off to school, move away, change jobs, or simply change priorities enough that it causes us to drift away from each other.
