When you break a routine that you have done for a long time to the point where it is practically tradition, you get all these strange feelings. The most significant times I have ever broken a routine was this and last year. Last year on Halloween was the first time I had ever broken a routine. It was essentially an unspoken rule that on Halloween I went trick or treating, but that unfortunately did not happen last year. I had a good amount of homework assigned to me that day, so I spent the entire night working and not taking part in the festivities. The way I felt had afterwards can only be described as odd. I felt like I had just done something terribly wrong and there was no way to fix it.
This year I broke my routine of always walking home after school was finished. After I had obtained my drivers license my mom was quite adamant about me driving to and from school. I was apprehensive about it at first, because it would disrupt a routine that I had done for a couple years and had grown quite accustomed to following. The whole process was rather simple: my parents drop me off at school in the morning and when school is over I just walk home. I did not understand why my parents wanted to throw away a system that had worked so well. When I first started driving to school it all felt really strange to me. It felt like I was in some bizarre new world rather than my own. When I think about it breaking a routine is not a bad idea. It shows that you are willing to break out of your comfort zone and try something new.
