1. Don't let HATERS bring you down. Instead prove them WRONG!

Haters are people who want to see you fail. Don't give them your attention, just smile and let your success talk for you. REMEMBER whoever is trying to bring you down is already below you.


2. The importance of being authentic.

Be yourself! Love yourself! Cherish yourself! People are going to love you and appreciate the real you. If they don't, then they don't deserve to have you in their lives. People don't appreciate fakeness. Being fake is not a respectable quality, being authentic is.

3. Life is going to suck sometimes, but it will eventually get better.

Things aren't always going to be perfect. You will feel like the odds are against your favors, but those are all just temporary feelings. Life doesn't always go as we plan, but that doesn't mean it can't get better. It may take time, but hang in there buddy!

4. We don't have to pretend to be happy all the time.

Our life's don't always have to be picture perfect. Breaking down is totally acceptable. You don't always have to be the strong one. Crying is never a sign of weakness. The right people in your life will help you get through anything. Not being okay is totally okay.

6. Being different should be a thing you are proud of.

Always embrace how different you are, but most important surround yourself with people who appreciate what makes you different. What makes your different makes you beautiful. Be brave enough to be yourself and never let your guard down.


7. Words HURT!

Everything you say makes a different. The power of words can break or make people. In the negative connotation, some words can literally destroy us and mostly when the person who says it means a lot. Yes, this is a free country and you are allowed to state your opinion, but that doesn't mean you need to be rude.

People in high school grow up all the time. The person you were a day ago doesn't have to be the person you are today. Growing up means separating from friends, passions, hobbies and finding new things to like. IT MEANS MOVING ON. The only constant thing in life is change! Start changing from within, let go of what it was and trust me, the right transformation will happen.


9. Don't give up on love just because you others have hurt you.

Young love is hard. Sometimes we think we find the "love of our life" and it was just a casually silly fling for the other person. Your heart is going to get broken before finding the right one, but the key is to stoplooking, but to never give up. The right love will come at the right time. The right person will love everything about you, even the thing you could imagine someone liking.

10. Never underestimate yourself because there is someone better.

Finding someone better than you in any passion is great. If you are the best then you need to get out of that safety zone and find a more challenging zone. Never think of yourself less if there is someone better, try to work on being better every day. "Never underestimate your own strength you were born with a purpose and are blessed with the power to achieve it." - Leon Brown

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
