Math isn’t a bore, but always needing a strategy can be too calculated.
Do you get it? Yet.
Let’s Get Into It
Have some fun
What is fun? I think that’s the better question. It can be watching your favorite movie, being with family and friends, eating your favorite snack, going to work (work can be fun with your fave coworkers), going for a walk, eating candy, making a dessert…
By now, you understand that anything can be fun. Safe fun, of course!
Don’t do anything illegal! Stay out of trouble, someone needs you!
Girl, what are you on? What’s up
I am having fun. Well, the weather won’t break, and my little cousin keeps beating me a million times in Spartan Monopoly, but I would rather play Monopoly the board game than be in a human on a monopoly board on social media.
Who’s going to roll my dice and land on doubles so I can roll again and get a second roll to get an advantage?
Now, it’s no longer fun. It’s strategic. Intentional.
Why am I boycotting calculus and focusing on fun
I don’t want my 20s to feel like a strategy plan. I’ve spent over 18 years playing this game of trying to make it, dabbling in this, dabbling in that.
Social media is performative. Even when you order food now, it’s a strategy. Download mobile apps for coupons, but don’t ever try to stack them because YOU CAN’T.
Coupons are even performative. Now they’re all packed in an app that requires you to keep buying chicken nuggets, so you can get a free chicken nugget, two years and a month later.

Cool people do cool things
It’s not a boycott, just a bit of “Hmm, maybe not post on social media this week. Go outside and post up at the beach.”
Cool people aren’t posting their lives; they get offline and live. Ride bikes for fun, around your neighborhood, and listen to music or bring friends along for a stroll.
Sit by the water and watch the waves and write, or sit and eat a sandwich.
Not everything is content, and not everything should have a huge outcome. Embrace your life.
Stop strategizing life and just be
That’s not to say freeball! Stop making everything content or a big goal post and live. Go for that walk because you want to, not just to get steps in, eat your favorite meal because it’s a random Tuesday, and not just your birthday.
Embrace the simplicity of enjoying the “regular” things in life, so life doesn’t feel like one big assignment you’re always trying to master.
Sometimes God wants us to live, not just live for a result or an answer. Visit the library and read random books for fun, or just walk around for a mini adventure. Type an essay for fun on a subject you’re passionate about.
Live for fun, it’s okay. We work every day, can you truly take one hour or one day to be human?
