Life is…

IMG_4741

‘Life is like a box of chocolates,

You never quite know what you’re going to get.’

Life is like a roller-coaster,

You never know what is coming.

Life is like a sky-dive,

You never know quite what you’re going to fall into.

Life is like a long tunnel,

You never know when it’s going to end.

Life is like a path,

You never know what’s around the next corner.

Life is like a book,

Don’t judge it by its cover.

Life is like a maze,

You never know if you took the right turn.

Life is like a pencil case,

It’s full of disorganisation.

Life is like a packet of sweets,

Some are sweet; some are sour.

Life is like a journey,

You never know what’s going to happen along the way.

Life is like a maze,

You don’t know which direction to go.

Life is like a story,

Everything happens for a reason.

Life is like a football match,

You don’t know what the score will be.

Life is like a present,

It’s full of surprises!

Life is like a paper clip,

It holds everybody together.

Life is like a photo,

Each one holds a different story.

Life is like a newspaper,

You don’t know what’s on the next page.

Life is like the universe.

                                                         It never stops changing…

What is life to you?

The journey begins

Here goes everything…

It’s tough being a teen/young adult. I want to do well in school, I want a social life, I want money, I want to keep fit and healthy, I want… so much. Don’t you?

Trying to keep everything balanced seems impossible nowadays. That’s why we have to prioritise. To school or college that means putting your education first. To parents that may mean doing your chores first. What I really want is a social life first but we all know that can’t happen in this moment of time.

I’m finding, in my second week of Uni, things run quite a bit different here. It doesn’t mean you get less work or it’s not as important…hell to the no. BUT it does mean that your tutors/lecturers take into consideration what life is like. You’re busy, stressed, running in circles (not literally). But it also means your social life basically is doing assignments and attending lectures. To me, I find that fun…but I can be a boring old fart.

For me, it’s the freedom that I love. Living away from home, waking up when you want, eating what you want. Right now I’m digging into a pack of cookies but who’s judging? NOT MY MUM.
