Unexpected Plans

Plans are always fun. Whether they be to go to the movies, go to dinner, or just meet friends, having something to do is always more fun than being bored at home. To me, some of the best plans are the ones that are totally unexpected. Plans like those came up for me tonight, and I'm super excited about that!

If you're the kind of person who doesn't like spontaneity or surprises, you probably HATE unexpected plans. If this is the case, I have some advice for you: LOOSEN UP! I understand you liking order and schedules, but spontaneous plans are often the best ones, not to mention some people are literally incapable of planning things in advance, so if you want to do something with them, you almost HAVE to just "wing it" and be open for anything, anytime.

On the other side of the coin, if you are one of the people who can't plan in advance, I have advice for you too: SIT STILL AND FOCUS! It's great that you're spontaneous, but never knowing what you're doing from one day to the next can make the people around you absolutely insane, especially if you're around a person who likes order and planning. So take some time and do your best to make solid plans! The people around you who like order will appreciate it...and you might even appreciate it yourself! Knowing what to expect from a day can be really nice sometimes, so you don't have to be "going with the flow" ALL the time.

Bottom line to all of this: find a balance! Odds are, you either prefer plans or spontaneity naturally, but do your best to do things opposite every once in a while(If you like being spontaneous, make a plan/if you like having plans, be spontaneous). Your friends and the people you are making plans with will probably appreciate the change, especially if they like doing things that way, and its always good to mix it up!

Until next time,

Live and Love(and be opposite sometimes!),
