Prioritize!
So yeah you may have guessed correctly. I'm going to talk about priorities. Well there are many ways to consider priorities the actual definition is: to list or rate (as projects or goals) in order of priority. (Thanks to Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary.)
Well since I have been living on my own I have had to learn to do this exact thing. I have had to figure out exactly what are my priorities. And to be absolutely honest my first year away from home was not my best although I did get to go out and have fun, and I learned to party all the time, but I did not put this before my school. So what do I get, I GOT OUT!. Why well I thought party was the way to go, but then I also think back about who I was hanging out with when I first moved off campus and what exactly it was that we did when we hung out when we were in school to begin with. All we did was party of course the majority of the time I was the D. Driver, but only because she could not hold back for at least one night. So then I'm out of school and what do I decide to do, well I decided to live with her in a two bedroom. Not my best decision! So from here and her is exactly where I learned to prioritize.
Why? Well I think I was put to a test, this girl put me through everything you could possibly think of while living with here, including almost getting evicted. So I'm calming down on my partying ways and learning to put work, rent, and bills first. And realize exactly how important my education really is to me. So what do I do I get back into school. Great right! No, Wrong! I lost my job because I was not working the last minute that they wanted me to, even though I was not getting paid for those last 30mins. Oh well my parents helped me through these times only I did end up in the Hospital or in and out for a spider bite. So my mom comes down to help me out for the next couple of weeks.
Then what you ask? Well simple I got a job where I'm at now, and I was very happy because I love to work here the people are great, eventhough I get a lot of shit from the pissed off "customers" that I get, and...Well...I get a lot of those. Almost a few per shift. Well it will be two years of working here this coming October. So what now you ask. I'm now attending School where I first began four years ago. This is because I don't think I could ever think of something that I have started and left unfinished. Really no, nothing big at least, small things... Nope can't even think of any of those.
Anyways I find it funny that you can prioritize more than one thing. I just got a quote from my cousin, (actually a couple of weeks ago) and it goes something like this "Don't prioritize someone who only consider you an option" And I like this for several reasons, One being that it's true you should put someone ahead of all other opportunities because "there might be a CHANCE" no it's DO or DON'T. It's like in high school you play all these games just to get with the person you like, but then you come back and realize that you've lost so much time and your back on the single list SOON. Second this has helped me to help a friend of mine who was torn waiting for a guy that she liked but was no where to be found or heard. He would not call her or visit or take the long distance challenge even for the summer but someone else came along over the summer and he did look in her direction and I gave her the same quote and it's caused her some good and some bad, but the bad is mostly coming from what most people would say low-self-esteem. I think it's more having been hurt in the past because she is a really great girl, very pretty and very honest and sweet and above all true to herself and her values. And to anybody that is reading this take that same advise "DON'T PRIORITIZE SOMEONE WHO ONLY CONSIDERS YOU AN OPTION" Make your move the worst that can happen is they say NO! Unless your me I'm just to chicken shit to do this myself or old fashion, take your pick.
Okay so look at me I've strayed from the priorities sorry. Uuuummmm priorities yeah, it works, I know it's a part of my job and a part of my life and a very helpful tool. USE IT TRUST ME. But realize what exactly are your priorities before you hurt yourself putting little nothings before seeing the big picture and realized that not everything goes as planned but 99.9% of the time SOMETHING OR SOMEONE BETTER COMES ALONG!
