15 Reasons You Should Appreciate Yourself More
Brooke Lark

I know when you're in college, your world revolves around class, grades, and your schedule. Sometimes it's hard to try to find yourself in all the rush of college life, but I definitely think all of you are worth it. No matter who you are or where you came from, there's definitely a ton of reasons why you should think more of yourself. You are so important and amazing, so let me tell you why you should look at yourself as someone who's worth it.

1. There's more to you than you think.

We all see ourselves as something or someone else from time to time. There's always the bad times, and when those times come you just have to look in the mirror and tell yourself "not today", fluff your hair, and walk out the door. You are someone special and important - never forget that.

2. You are beautiful.

Yeah, you. Everyday. Every minute of every day. Never think otherwise. Even in bummy clothes on. Even without makeup. Even if you're not at your best - you are a beautiful person.

3. You are alive.

You're breathing, right? Chances are you are if you're reading this. Time to go out and see things you'd never thought you'd see, or do things you'd never think you'd do. You're alive - and that's literally the best part.

4. You're so strong.

You can get up every day, and at least put some clothes on, or even just get up to eat or drink. Even if you can't do those things and you wake up every day, then good for you. Keep going.

5. Anything is possible.

Literally anything. Anything you want will happen. Anything will happen and it's going to.

6. You're smart.

Definitely smart! Never think anything else ever again! Just because some stuff happened doesn't mean you're not smart. Something just happened. Please carry on, move on, do what you have to.

7. You are you.

You are an amazing creature with the worth of millions of jewels. You can't be brought down, or torn apart. Don't let anyone. You are amazing.

8. Life would be different.

Life would be so different without your beautiful self so stop thinking anything else. You are amazing.

9. Every day is new.

Every day is a new day. So start over if you have to, or keep going. Whatever you need to do you must do for yourself. So do it.

10. Your smile.

That stuff is infectious. People see you smile and they are awestruck. Keep smiling - even if it hurts.

11. You're talented.

In one way or another, you have a talent that is worth everything in the world. Keep it up! You are so talented. No matter what it is, share it. You never know what it could bring.

12. You're loved.

By someone. Anyone. Even me. I love you and I don't even know some of you that are reading this. Hit me up! Not even kidding. You're an amazing human why would anyone not love you?

13. You're unique.

No matter who you are. You're so unique. You're an incredible person and you should know that. No one is like you and no one will be like you.

14. It gets easier.

Life does really get easier. Okay, maybe harder as we grow. But if you're having those bad times it will all go away so soon I promise. Keep your chin up.

15. You decide.

You ultimately decide who you are. I'm just your cheerleader from the sidelines cheering you on. Go ahead. You can do it. Be you.

Now I know that this is all random, but I find people have to be reminded of who they are before they can go and do what they need to or want to. I'm always here as a support for you all reading these articles - so go forth. Keep in touch and flourish, people. You are doing so great. You are amazing.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
