You choose!

Not even kidding you really do choose. With starting college this year it has seemed to me that it is choice right after the other and every choice I make effects everything else. For example say I have a Chemistry test next Saturday and I haven't even look at the stuff that is going to be on that test, which just so happens to be a mid term as well... but instead of choosing to study I go to a movie with friends, or a watch a show on Netflix, or I "forget" to take it to work with me so I can study there. In making my choice not to study and to have a social life I find myself up till maybe 1am every night the week before the test... see my train of thought? I now actually have to think about the consequences BEFORE I make the choice novel idea huh?
Well I've also been thinking about the other kinds of choices more like life style choices, things like what I eat, who my friends are, the language I use and the books I read. Things that are every day but over a long period of time they can make a huge difference. Like food habits for me are super horrible, sometimes I skip meals, other times I pig out and eat a half a pan of brownies, or I eat nothing but a bagel for food all day. bad ya? so that is one of my recent choices, to eat and treat my body better.
In Institute today I also got the idea that your attitude is a choice. If you are mad you should think why? and CHOOSE if what mad you mad is really worth being mad over. For another life example today I woke up late... like REALLY late and got to class you guessed it REALLY late and I was super mad that I missed the first half of class cause now I don't fully understand the material because I wasn't their to hear the explanation. Instead of getting mad and focusing on what was SO "horribly" wrong with my life. I should have been thinking of a way to make it better, find someone in the class I know to explain it to me, think of a time I can go to the Lab and get help on the homework, honestly their were several good possibilities. I didn't need to waste all my thoughts time and energy being angry about something that didn't deserve it.
Institute reminded me to take a deep breath, relax, think about it, find your answers (notice the s at the end of answers?) then CHOOSE what one will help/do the most. Life is a bunch of choices you have the agency and the power to CHOOSE use it wisely.
