15 Reasons to Love Yourself

Self love can be hard, but it's so worth it. Even the little things.

15 Reasons to Love Yourself
Delaney Malloy

We've all been in those moods where we feel like giving up. We can always find the little things we hate about ourselves. I know, it's often hard to look in a mirror and say, "Wow, I really love myself." The truth is that the more you love yourself, the less negativity you have in your world. I want to spread more positivity for everyone, so here are 15 reasons to love yourself.

1. You are one of a kind.

Even if you were cloned, you would still be original.

2. The only person you have to be is you.

Stop trying to adapt yourself to be like a celebrity or movie character, just own being you.

3. The only person you need to impress is yourself.

Other people don't like your style? Forget them. They think your makeup is dumb? Put on some more of that purple lipstick and rock it.

4. You're your best supporter.

Confidence is key.

5. Only you know exactly how to cheer yourself up.

Get yourself some Ben & Jerry's and binge watch Gossip Girl.

6. You're the only one who know every single one of your thoughts.

If other people knew ALL your thoughts it would get a little scary.

7. You can play your favorite movie without having to ask what it is.

So pop in some Harry Potter and pretend you're a wizard.

8. You can also order your favorite food without having to ask where from.

Of course order, because it always tastes better when you don't have to cook it.

9. You can count on yourself for sharing eye rolls with yourself.

At a family party and your distant cousin has yet another new "boyfriend"? You know how you're feeling.

10. You are literally 1 in 7 billion.

Statistics don't lie.

11. You know exactly how hard you worked for your accomplishments.

Worked your butt off for something? Go you!

12. You are the number one person you can count on.

When it all comes down to it, you gotta trust yourself.

13. You've always had your back.

You've stood up for yourself when nobody else did. You know what? You didn't even need them.

14. You know how to work your selfie angles.

You've taken so many pictures of yourself, you know which one is perfect for Instagram.

15. Finally, "There's nothing more badass than being yourself." -Darren Criss

Being yourself takes courage, but it's worth it.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
