On the outside looking in (EDITING)

Prologue

Do you ever feel like you're in a plateau with your life? You're working at a job that doesn't make you happy but you stay because you get paid well? You get good grades but you still feel like you're not doing enough? You get job interviews but they always seem to end with no?

For the past few months there's been a routine: Go to school, Go to work, maybe binge watch a few shows, try to meet up with your two best friends, FaceTime with two of your other best friends who are states away and spend endless amounts of time on the internet.

This cycle has become a constant in my life and even though the idea of change scares me, I want to feel like I'm actually doing something with my life while I'm still young. People always say "don't wait for things to happen, make them happen" so I finally want to step out of this bubble I've made and take a chance.

And what's that chance? Finally joining the marketing club at Windsor Community College. After two years of convincing from professors and classmates alike, I finally feel like i'm ready to be a part of this group that so many of my peers have raved about. I had gone to one single meeting two years ago and I wasn't too keen on joining.

Not because it didn't appeal to me but I was more or less doubting myself and what I was capable of doing thinking I would never be able to fully be immersed in the club. I felt bad when they were constantly sending me email updates about meetings and other opportunities that could have been beneficial to me and my major, but all I did was simply just ghost them.

But that was then and now I'm finally ready to put myself out there and maybe make some new friends along the way, I won't know until I actually try.

Who knows where this new opportunity will take me, but it's better to try rather than not doing anything and thinking of what could have been.

Spring is supposed to symbolize new beginnings so why not make this new venture my own beginning?
