The Choices That Are All Around Us....

There was a study conducted several years ago that asked participants if they'd rather go to an ice cream parlor with 99 flavors or with only 3 flavors. The majority of people chose the latter option, because they felt it wouldn't be as overwhelming. I've grown up in a society that emphasizes the value of variety - the whole "everyone is like a snowflake" mentality - but the truth is, the less options I have, the happier I tend to be.

Yo Dreams' customers have many choices
when selecting the perfect froyo garnishes. 
Choices. I've had to make a lot of those at school. Which major, which class, which professor, which time, which seat.... Even with my work at Yo Dreams Frozen Yogurt, my team and I have had to make decisions. We decided that we wanted the business to come away with a strong online presence and a thriving customer base of students and Waco citizens. At the same time, we team members decided we wanted to finish with more than just class credit or something to add to our portfolio; we ultimately wanted to help Yo Dreams succeed in what they're doing today, tomorrow, next week, and 10 years from now.

It's not always pleasant having to make choices, but having free will is something for which to be grateful.
