You are amazing.

To the person with anxiety,

I know you are painfully aware of your surroundings and that is ok but I need you to know a few things…

The outfit you are wearing is perfect. I don’t know if you took a long time to pick it out or not but it looks great on you. I promise that no one is going to notice that you wore that sweatshirt for the fourth time today. So what that dress shows off some cleavage? Work it girl. Those pants you have on today make your butt look fine. You seriously have nothing to worry about.

Those people over there. They are just starring off into space as they talk. Think about it…you stare off into space sometimes. They are not staring at you I promise. Even if they are starring at you…I told you that your outfit was perfect. They are probably just admiring the view. It is fine just mind your own business and they’ll mind theirs.

No, you are NOT fat and you are NOT ugly! Who told you that you were? They were wrong.

That test you are about to take. That you studied for three days for. That test is your bitch. You will pass it with flying colors. Even if you don’t. It is not the end of the world even though I know it feels like it is.

You are smarter than you think you are.

Take all the negative things that anyone has ever said about you or that you have ever thought about yourself and throw them in the fire. Those words do NOT define you. Someone else's actions and words do NOT define who you are and how you feel.

One last thing…

YOU ARE beautiful. YOU ARE smart. YOU ARE amazing. YOU ARE the worlds greatest.

But above all

You ARE loved.

So f*&k anybody who says otherwise.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

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!
