I order the same thing at McDonald’s without fail, I get the same Starbucks drink when my friends and I walk there after school, I hang out with the same people. I am a creature of habit.
As a little kid, I wanted to cut my hair, but the thought of changing my hair absolutely scared me. It seems like such a stupid thing to be scared of, it’s just hair after all, but it kept me from cutting my hair for about 6 years. Boy was I glad I decided to take the leap because it has been so much easier for me to take care of my hair with it short.
Routine is my best friend and as soon as I am pushed out of my routine, I panic and slip up. That is why block schedule was hard for me. Suddenly I was forced to write essays at 9:00 am when I was barely awake and go to different classes afterward, causing me to completely rethink my routes. As a person that likes the same thing over and over (routine), it was hard.
I guess this is fueled by my fear of the unknown. Not knowing what will come next in my day frightens me. I hate feeling unprepared. It makes me shake and bite my lip and unable to sit still. I know life sometimes likes to throw the unexpected pop quiz at you, but it still doesn’t keep me from wanting a routine over chaos so I can feel prepared and not feel like I’m making a fool of myself.
