Atelophobia

She stares in the mirror,

She is nude.

She looks at her body. ‘

First, her face

Pimples, pores,

Freckles, Glasses

Large eyes, small eyelashes

She does not like what she sees


Second, her arms.

They are thick,

Bulky, long

Covered in thin blond hairs,

She is a mammal

She does not like what she sees


Third, her chest

Unporportioned,

One large, one medium-large

They have hairs too.

She does not like what she sees.


Fourth, her stomach

Large, fat

Stretch marks covering all over.

It hangs over her hips.

She does not like what she sees.


Last, her legs

They are long,

Thick and gangly

There is no thigh gap

Stretch marks line the inside.

She does not like what she sees.


She is not good enough.

Her looks aren’t appeasing.

She is no Victoria’s Secret model.

She is no Blake Lively.

She is herself, and she hates that.

She is not good enough.

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.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

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.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
