I recently realized that friends should have no influence on the decisions made in life. This doesn't vary whether you're a college student, a college student, or even a mature, mature adult. Making a wrong decision at the wrong time can have many negative effects on life. A bad decision may only affect you temporarily or it may stay with you for the rest of your life. It could cost you a job or keep you from getting into the college you've dreamed of going to your whole life. It's just too risky. In a way, decisions should be made only by the person who makes them. You should always think about how they will affect yourself and others. Never let a friend or anyone else force you to make a choice that could end up hurting you or someone else. Always be careful, this could be something that could stay with you for life. Even think about how it might affect your family and friends. Would they be bothered by this choice? Would they be proud to talk about you and your relationship with other people? Decision making can be considered a skill. Many people consider this an easy everyday thing, but for some it is more difficult. This is not always obvious to some. Some are born leaders and make decisions easily, others are not. Just be sure to evaluate the situation before making a decision that could hurt you or others. In some situations, it is okay to ask friends for advice before making a decision. Think about it and make sure it's really the best thing for you too. Friends don't always keep in mind what's best for you. Sometimes they don't realize how much it can affect you and they don't even do it on purpose. It just comes as a natural habit. I can even admit that I can see myself doing it sometimes. They just don't know what's best for you. This should be just so you know. Often this image fades when you're having fun, but make sure you always have it close at hand, in the back of your head..
