Because sometimes you just have to build yourself up.

10 Things To Tell Yourself Every Morning
Kaitlin Didinger

In this day in age, many people tear themselves down because of what they think about themselves and what other people think about them. Sometimes, to try to love who you are, you have to cut the toxic people out of your life, the ones who tell you that you can't do it or tell you that you're not worth it. Here's a list of a couple things you should tell yourself every morning.

1. You are worth it.

No matter what anyone says, you are worth the fight. Don't listen to anyone who's going to tear you down.

2. You are beautiful.

If anyone, and I mean anyone tells you that you're anything less than beautiful, they're wrong.

3. Put yourself first.

Sometimes it's okay to put yourself before others. If you're constantly worrying about making everyone else happy before yourself, you're not going to be happy. It is impossible to make everyone happy, so work on yourself first for once.

4. It's okay to be selfish.

Like I said above, sometimes it's okay to be a little selfish and take care of yourself. If you need a day away from everything, take a day. If you need a vacation, take a vacation. Go eat a meal alone. Spend a little time with just yourself.

5. Everybody has bad days.

Everyone has days where they're not themselves for some reason. While it is not, in any way, okay to take that out on others, it happens. Don't take some things too personally. You are the best at being you and that's all that matters.

6. You're the best you out there.

Nobody's better at being you than you are. Don't let someone take that from you. Be true to yourself, because you are great.

7. Relax.

Take some time to just sit and relax. Listen to some music. Watch some netflix (just not greys anatomy because that's not relaxing).

8. Look at puppy pictures.

If you're anything like me, you might love dogs. Take some time to spend with a dog, or if that's not possible just look at some puppy pictures. They're really cute and I'm sure something will put a smile on your face.

9. Smile.

You have a beautiful smile. Show it to the world.

10. Don't care what people think.

It doesn't matter what people think of you. All that matters is what you think of you.


Take care of yourself for once.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
