The Waiting Game

I am not a patient person. Whether it is waiting to hear back from an interview or standing in a food line and everything in between. Patience is not one of my talents or skills. So don't make me wait.

I heard a quote from a movie that you only need 20 seconds of courage to do anything. Don't wait, don't think, just do it. (You're welcome Nike.) But seriously, never hold back on anything. I don't care what you are debating on doing, if an opportunity presents itself, TAKE IT! Who knows when you will get another chance.

Recently, I have taken a couple of chances to reconnect with people, meet new people, or do something incredibly ridiculous. But  I don't regret trying any one of them. This is new for me because I have to deal with a lot of insecurity sometimes. Getting out of my comfort zone was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. But it was soooo worth it!

So, when someone says, "I dare you to ask her/him on a date." Don't shy away from it. Say "Challenge ACCEPTED!" If someone dares you to eat an entire pizza and drink a liter of soda, do it.

I do not support peer pressure or things that could potentially be dangerous, but live life in a way that makes you have no regrets. You will probably be the most interesting person ever because of a few mildly embarrassing things you've done. But hey, I would be your friend if you told me how many mini eclairs you can fit in your mouth. (BTW, my record is 8)
