Do you consider yourself to be beautiful?

Dove did a study that found only 4% of women consider themselves beautiful, so that's about 280000000 million women that consider themselves beautiful out of 3 billion five hundred million.

So take that and look around you, there are people that walk past you every day that actually believe they look like trash. I don't know about you but this tears me apart, why is that everything we are is somehow not enough?

We need to lose more weight or put on some more makeup? No, we need to dye our hair so we can look like our favorite Instagram model or rapper right? Wrong the truth is the only person we need to look like is ourselves but society tells us otherwise.

At the beginning of time, God created the heavens and the earth, when he created man he created them to show his strength and when he created women, he created them to show his beauty so how is it we've found ourselves so far from who God created us to be? Take a moment to really ask yourself if you consider yourself to be beautiful. Once you come back I am here to tell you that you are beautiful and that there is no social media platform or person that determines that, social media plays a big part in our lives.

But I find that our (my) biggest we mistake is that we place our value in everything but the lord. Girls if your reading this know that you are the most beautiful creations God has placed on this earth so live like it, and I get that its summertime but just because it's summertime doesn't mean you need to post your body on social media to prove self-value, know that you are so much more than that.

There are so many things that the enemy uses to steal our confidence. But know in those moments of you (me) feeling down that just because you (I) feel like this doesn't make it true, the lie that (I) your worthless the lie that your just not enough is so far from the truth.

"We were hurt people hurting people " so spread the love, Jealousy is one of the most toxic things that can come into your heart so take some time out of your day to remind someone else how beautiful they are, it's just not said enough, We live in such a beautiful world let's act like it.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
