Beauty In Us

Even if it takes us time to find it, we will get there.

Beauty In Us
The Daily Quotes

This goes out not only to the lovely beautiful ladies around me but to my beautiful peers who are doubting themselves at this moment. Whether it's because of a boy, parents, school, anything. Remember that we are all here for a reason even if we haven't found that reason yet. I know it all sounds cliche, but its true. We are all going through things that make us doubt ourselves, which is the best time to look back and think about everything that makes us great. We are all people with flaws and no one is perfect. Embrace that scar, love your uneven skin. Don't worry about that thigh gap that every girl wants.

We ladies as a whole are so caught up with the crap that society fills our heads with--like a certain body shape we should have, the certain weight we should be at, the perfect facial structure we should, or even what kind of clothes we should wear. All this makes us believe that we should all achieve the same standards, but how does that make sense when we are all different? Our individuality is what makes us unique so be a plus size and embrace it. So what if you don't have a defined cheek bone, or if your thighs rub against each other? These features make who you are.

To the ladies out there who feel like their world is going to end after a relationship. Remember something: a man who loves you wouldn't put you in a position to hurt. They obviously don't consider your emotions and what you're feeling. The feeling of hurt is temporary and you'll be fine as time passes. I'm not saying this just to make you feel better, I say this because I've lived through it. The aching pain in your heart, the late night cries, the anger felt that comes along with self-doubt and reminiscing of the beautiful moments that were shared. Been through it all; it takes patience and time but I believe it's worth being alone. It gives you time to learn things about yourself and it also shows the true colors of that one person you were with. Sometimes we are better without them. It opens up doors to new opportunities and think of it this way, at one point you didn't know them and you were still living, and if you did it then you can do it now. I know this rule only applies to a certain extent, but what I'm trying to say is you're going to be okay, and in the mean time embrace your company and look toward what is ahead of you. Let go of the past and live in the moment.

And remember ladies, we all have a purpose in this world. Even if it takes us time to find it, we will get there and when we do, none of this is going to matter anymore and we can finally say we found our worth.

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!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
