5 Thoughts Every Women Has But Shouldn't Be Having
The Odyssey

Nowadays women are looking towards celebrities and social media to set the platform for what is beautiful. What fashion trends are in, how we should be wearing our makeup, doing our hair and even how our body should look. These unrealistic standards of beauty that are being set are tearing down the confidence of women all around the world. Women are looking in the mirror with a mind full of insecurities telling themselves they are not good enough. Instead of finding validation from within, we are comparing ourselves to women that are idolized as beautiful. Our minds are being clouded with negative thoughts that should never cross a women's mind.

Here are five thoughts that due to unrealistic beauty standards, cross the mind of every women daily:

1. "I can't wear that, I'm not skinny enough."

You can be a size zero or a size 12 and in either size you will be beautiful. Never define your beauty by someone else who was born with a completely different figure. You are beautiful in your own way. As long as you are confident, you can wear anything you see someone else wearing.

2. "Why can't I have the lips, cheekbones and eyebrows of a Kardashian."

It's no secret the Kardashians are gorgeous, but it's also no secret that they have glam teams and thousands of dollars to spend on plastic surgery. Their beauty is priced at thousands, your natural beauty is free. You just need to see the beauty in yourself.

3. "My boobs will never look that good in a shirt."

Not everyone is born with perfectly round, perky boobs. Most women are either using miracle working bras or have had some work done. But whether you are born with great breast or using your own tricks to make them great, you should never consider yourself anything less than perfect because of another woman walking down the street with perky boobs.

4. "I refuse to wear shorts because of the cellulite on my legs."

News flash ladies, the majority of women have cellulite!! A few little dimples on your legs should not stop you from wearing anything you want to wear. Cellulite is not a symbol of fat. Women of all sizes have cellulite.

5. "My skin will never look as flawless as celebrities skin does."

Keep in mind, these celebrities spend big bucks to make sure their skin is flawless. You may not have perfectly smooth skin but whether it is acne, wrinkles or scars, it should not make you feel any less confident in yourself. Embrace the skin you are in and you will look as beautiful as any other woman.

You are born the way you are. You can spend hundreds of dollars on makeup, different cremes and you can even go under the knife. But at the end of the day you are still in the skin you are born with and in order to feel confident in that skin, you must love it.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
