The Things You Shouldn't Worry About

Worrying is something people do everyday and sometimes there is no reason to worry about it. There are always ways to fix things that you are worrying about – but if you actually break down what you are worrying about, I am pretty sure there is little to no reason for anyone to stress these five things.

1. Grades


Honestly, as long as you are passing the class, there is NO reason to stress over grades. This is kinda weird for me to say because I stress making sure that I keep my GPA high, but when it comes down to it, C's get degrees. I realize I don't need straight A's to be successful – yeah it looks good and definitely feels good to have a 4.0, but at what cost? As long as you are trying, and doing your best, you are doing all you can do and there is no reason to worry.

2. Money


Yeah, I understand this is hard not to stress over and worry about – but if you are smart with your money and budget it, you are sure to have less stress. When you get paid, always set some aside for you (not something you need but something you want), also make sure you put at least a little bit into your savings. Having everything set so you don't over spend. Budget everything in. There are plenty of ways to learn how to better budget your money, try google or YouTube for some examples.

3. Image


People worry about what others think of them all the time, or their image. They want to make sure they can get the most people to like them and usually don't consider if those people would like them if they were themselves. If you are more comfortable in sweatpants and a t-shirt, rock it! People will like you for who you are, and your image is not a big deal. Don't worry about what people think of who you really are, because the only image that should matter is how you view yourself. Don't try to impress anyone other than yourself.

4. Looks


The only looks that matter are the ones you see when you look in the mirror. Everyone is beautiful in their own way, so feeling as though you are not pretty is useless. There is someone out there who will think you are pretty without makeup on. They will find you gorgeous when you are in a bikini. And as long as YOU are comfortable in your own body, don't worry about the negative stuff people say about your looks. Don't worry about how you look, because to the right people, looks don't matter.

5. Little Things

If you find yourself saying, "I am worrying for no reason" – you are a victim of stressing the little things. There is no reason to worry about little things, they are just that – little things. There is no need to worry about tomorrow because it is going to happen regardless, and you can't worry about tomorrow before tomorrow has a chance to worry about itself. Don't worry about what you are going to eat for dinner, because honestly, just eat food and you're set.

Strive to live a worry free life. Worry less and Live your life.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
