Be You, Be Bold

We are all so unique, why hide it?

Sometimes there are things that we want to say, but just can't get ourselves to. Sometimes there are things that we want to do, but the fear of actually following through is holding us back. Sometimes we filter what we say, because we are afraid of what others will think.

What we should be doing is saying how we feel, not holding anything back. What you want to say, needs to be heard. What you are thinking is important and should be shared. We need to stop being afraid of what others will think. We have so much to offer the world. Instead of shying away from what you feel and what you want to say, say it. Be confident in yourself and don't let the fear of judgment stand in your way.

If you want to be adventurous, then you can't let the fear of trying new things hold you back. There is so much to see, so much to do, and letting that fear keep us from seeing and doing those things would be devastating. Go adventure, do something you never have, and be bold.

Don't be afraid to be yourself, either. So many of us are filtering what we say, changing what we wear, and pushing down our personalities in order to blend in. Scratch that. Be you, be outgoing, be goofy, if people don't like that about you then you'll find people that do. We are all so incredibly unique in our own way and it would be a shame if each of us weren't sharing what makes us standout with others.

Be You, Be Bold.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
