With today's type of culture and society, exercise and eating healthy is in a bigger push than ever. We see many people start fitness social media accounts or food blogs and I know I have said more than on one occasion how I wished I looked like *insert name.* It is so much easier to tear yourself down and see all the impurities rather than saying, "wow I really love *insert aspect.*" I am sure everyone has something about them they would like to change and either are working towards that goal or not.

In a world like now, everyone needs to be more positive about their body and give enough self-love.

You are perfect. If you decide you don't like what you see, then change that. It is your decision to change for you and you only. I hate hearing someone is changing because they want to fit in or that is what is trendy or someone told them so, that is complete bullsh*t. No matter what anyone says, hear this, you are perfect and you should see that.

I know, I know, so much easier said than done but having confidence and love in yourself. I found a lot of myself love and body positivity while reading poetry. The way it makes you think and embrace every aspect of yourself captivates me. In one of my favorite poetry books, "I Wrote This For You," one of the last poems says:

That the sun will rise each day and it's up to you each day if you match it. That nothing matters up until this point. That what you decide now, in this moment, will change the future. That rain is beautiful.

And so are you.

Remember each day you have the power to create the perfect day and make the best you possible.

It doesn't matter if you are a size 4 or size 14 in women's or size 27W or 40W in men's, embrace your beauty, your positivity and self-love. Don't forget to occasionally treat yo self, because you deserve 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.
