The Butterfly Effect

After getting back home from an amazing weekend with friends from home AND uni, for some reason, I began to think of The Butterfly Effect, and how one tiny change in your past could affect your entire future. One small change could make everything different.

What would have happened if I didn't get accepted into Kent, but got my second choice uni of Essex? I would have had a completely different set of friends, and not one detail of the last year and a half of my life would be the same. 

What if I didn't meet my now housemate on Twitter before we moved to Kent? We weren't in any of the same seminars, so it would be unlikely that we would have met at uni, but I also wouldn't have met any of the people she introduced me to, who have become some of my favourite people in the world. 

What if I chose not to go to uni? I might still be with my ex, I might have had a full time job, thinking of moving away from home, who knows! 

What if a certain man-friend got into his first choice university instead of Kent? Although our relationship hasn't been the most straightforward of the bunch, the last year of my life would have been completely different! Maybe I would have been in a different relationship, or maybe I would have had a chance to be single at uni. 

All of the ones I thought of were to do with uni, but there are so many what ifs that could have completely changed who I am now. I suppose what I'm trying to say is, think about your decisions carefully, because who knows, one tiny decision that might seem insignificant at the time, could be a huge game changer to your life.
