An Open Letter To The Girl Who Has Not Found Her Way
http://m.favim.com/image/528965/

To the girl who hasn't found her way,

You know who you are. You're the girl who is behind on everything.

You don't know who you are or where you are going. You have plans, but you have not had the chance to see them through. You have dreams of places you want to see, things you want to try, people you want to meet, but you haven't found your way yet.

You're the girl who hasn't had the perfect life. You are full of insecurities, doubts, fears, but at the end of the day you are still confident, smart, and strong. You get down sometimes, but there is always something that will be there to pick you up.

You are the girl who hasn't had the perfect relationships. Maybe you haven't had any yet. The relationships are far from flawless. They may be nothing like you imagined, but you still see the good anyway.

You went to school for a specific thing, but you've already changed your mind. It doesn't mean that life is over, it just means you're changing your mind to get things right.

You've made mistakes. You have said things that you are not proud of. You have had your feelings hurt on multiple occasions. You have lost people that you want back in your life. You have wasted time on people. You have taken for granted what you had before it was gone.

All those things may seem terrible. It may seem as though everything was wrong.

Look over here. It's the bright side

Love yourself so that you can love others better. Live so others can live through you. Laugh a lot, cry very little. Smile even when it seems like the world doesn't want you to. Be kind to others because you never know what battle they are facing.

Make mistakes so you can learn from them.

You are you. As cliche as it sounds, no one can do it better. You're going to find your way even when it seems like you will not. Believe in yourself even when no one else will. Find your way no matter how long it takes.

You can do it. You just have to keep telling yourself.

The Post Thanksgiving Panic And Anxiety

It happens to all of us, the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas the catch up with you.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.

Even Shonda Rhimes, winning creator and executive producer of the hit TV shows Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, and The Catch agrees that relationships with fictional characters are real. In her book, The Year of Yes she states, "I have spent more time with Meredith and Christina then many of my actual friends...When you watched TV, even spending a full hour with Christina once a week, you were likely spending more time with her then you spent with most people in your life. That relationship was real."

Going to the gym and working out on a daily basis (with breaks once in awhile) has been a great way for me to feel good about myself. It is 100% more than just looking good. Especially after starting college and having the stress and anxiety of tests, assignments, and just figuring out my future, the gym at my school has definitely been a place of relief for me and I have numerous reasons of why everyone should push themselves to get to the gym when they can.
