5 Things That Happen When You Learn To Love Yourself

1. Your confidence raises immensely.

Now that you have realized how truly amazing you are, nothing can stop you. You don't have any fear or intimidation. You are positive about your actions and do not second guess a thing that you do. This is brave.

2. You stop feeling incomplete.

You stop searching for more than what you have. You know that you are whole on your own. You fulfill yourself more than anybody else ever could.

3. You're happier than you have ever been.

Your whole attitude about life changes. You appreciate the little things more than you ever did before. Everything starts to make more sense and you are more at peace with yourself.

4. You don't let toxic people in your life.

You used to constantly allow toxic people into your life but this is something you will no longer allow yourself to do. Even though you may care about these people, you know that it is bad for you to continue any type of relationship with them. You finally realize that all they do is drag you down and that isn't what you are about anymore.

5. You make better choices.

Now that you love yourself, you respect yourself more. Therefore, you make choices that benefit you. You no longer make choices that hurt you or will set you back.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
