Rash Decisions

I love being a Communications major. The classes I take literally help me approach my life in a different manner. I get to learn about a variety of subjects that will do nothing but help me get a better perspective on daily, real-life communication. I’m taking an interpersonal conflict class and I’m actually learning something that I can apply to my daily life. Obviously, in the class we are learning how to control, deal with, and even prevent conflict. While doing this, I am learning so much about myself and how humans in general respond and react to conflict; everyone is different. My job is to be able to comfort and compliment any one’s style; it’s a tough gig! That’s what school and texts books are for. I’ve got to do the dirty work if I want to be the best.

I titled this blog “rash decisions” (try saying that 3 times in a row… I keep saying it like rash de-sh-sions, hahaha) because I want to take the time to make sure you take the time before you make a decision. I’m no therapist or preacher, but I do know a little about decision making. We’re young and we’re in college. Making your OWN decision is important, but making the RIGHT decision is even more vital. No matter the decision you are trying to make, you MUST take the time to think it over. Never give up on someone, especially yourself. Always consider ALL of your options; if the door is opened to you, see what’s inside!

*The sky is the limit; don’t sell yourself short and never settle for less!
