Try the Gas Station Sushi

Throughout my 19 years of existence I have learned I'm a creature of habit. It's not that I don't

like change but that if I don't specifically try to switch something up in my day I default to the

normal. A good example of this was when I was in 5th grade, my mom told me that starting 5th

grade I had to pack my own lunches. The first week I packed something different every time but

once the year got going I started packing the same ham and cheese sandwich on white bread

with 2 packs of cheez-its every day. I did this for the whole year and to this day I can't eat ham

and cheese sandwiches or cheez it without throwing up.

I've learned now that if I don't try to change things up and be creative everyday I fall into these

pits that I don't realize I'm in until it's gone too far. Being creative everyday isn't hard and can be

as simple as trying a new food or talking to someone new. It doesn't always need to turn out

well. In Fact if it does always turn out well then you're not really being creative. When you look

back on a week, month, even a year, think to yourself did I try something new, did I take a risk or

did I do the same things I did last time.
