Week 15- Life is Like a Box of Chocolate...

Honestly, I have no real inquisitive and miraculous advice when it comes to living a happy and successful life. I thought the best advice to offer someone is from the AWESOME movie "Forest Gump." "Life is like a box of chocolate...you never know what you're gonna get." In the beginning of this semester, I felt that I had everything planned out: I would receive good grades, work hard, and hang out with certain people. But I was wrong! Almost everything that I planned out didn't really come true. You can't plan out your life the way you want it to, there will always be something that will come unexpected and you'll have to find a way to deal with it.

The world is something that can easily undergo change at times when most unexpected. The world that surrounds is can be thought of as cruel and difficult as we go through times of hardships and trials. But I strongly believe as we look back on our mortal existence, I think we will look back at those difficult times and see how much of a positive influence that the event had on us. Something else that I would notice the world around me is the importance of living every minute to its fullness. I'm not talk about always partying, but just always becoming a better person than you were.

So life is like a box of chocolate, something that lets us become surprised. Kind of like Christmas! I'm really glad that I can't tell the future, then life wouldn't be as risky, stressful, and fun! The future provides everyone with hope and wonder with how our lives will look. Learn from the past, live in the present, and hope for the future. I hope everyone is able to realize how the little things in life are generally the things that provide us with the most happiness. Such as playing a board game with family and friends, taking a nice walk, or just talking with someone. I'm so glad to have such an awesome writing 150 class. Of the various classes taking this semester, this one I would probably miss the most. Thanks!

  1. Great job! I really liked your post. I often try to plan things out perfectly and then I am disappointed when they don't turn out the way i want them to. I need to take your advice and remember that things aren't always mean to turn out the way you want them to.
