5 Reasons To Love Yourself

I continuously see girls put themselves down, and point out every flaw. Look in the mirror and understand that your 'flaws' don't define you.

5 Reasons To Love Yourself
Hey Sigmund

1. You are beautiful.

Whether you think you are worth nothing and feel your flaws outweigh your good, you are beautiful. Everyone is beautiful in their own unique way. Beauty is not defined by the way you look, but by who you are and what you stand for.

2. Loving yourself attracts love

Loving yourself is a huge factor in life. Learn to love yourself because if you do others will look at you as a confident woman, someone who knows how special they are. Men tend to like a woman who loves herself and stands her ground.

3. Self-love leads you to a 24/7 best friend.

Loving yourself can lead you to your very best friend: yourself. No matter how many friends leave your life, you always have you. You are in control of your body and mind. We take care of ourselves, and we reward ourselves when we feel we did a good job. We do not need someone to tell us we did good, because in our head we already know.

4. Suzy Kassem stated, "An original is worth more than a copy".

Love yourself enough to be different. Do not get caught up in what other people are doing. Reading magazines and keeping up with social media, I tend to find myself wondering what it would be like if others didn't follow each other, but instead decided to be their own leader. Be yourself and love yourself because being a copy is boring.

5. There is only 1 you out of 7 billion people in the world.

Take advantage of the fact that not one person in the world is 100% like you. Your smile, laugh and personality are unique. The thought of being different than every other person in the world is an incredible feeling. You are different so enjoy that thought.

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

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.
