To The Guy Who Decided It Wouldn't Work,

I am glad that you chose for me. By doing that you proved to me that I am worthy of so much more. I am a young woman with the ability to do exceptionally greater than what is expected of me. Your lack of faith in me reminded me that I am able to do anything.

I can manage classes, work, family and a social life. Believe me, I may struggle at times and it may be more difficult than I would like, but I am always able to do it. I am even able to excel at it. Time management is difficult but with faith and belief in me, I am sure we could have worked it out. I have great charisma and strength despite my anxiety and self-doubt. I have high goals and aspirations in life, and I know that if I keep doing what I am doing I will achieve them and so much more.

I am proud of how I feel and the lifestyle that I have chosen. Due to the fact, that it makes me who I am today. I am strong and I am brave. I am capable of doing much more than you, or anyone thinks for that matter. I am able to formulate my own feelings and thoughts. And I am able to communicate them when I am ready and comfortable doing so.

I deserve more than to be told how I feel. I do not have to explain myself, let alone defend my feelings. How I feel is a part of me, that I am proud of and grateful for. We live in an amazing world filled with thoughts, emotions and opinions. Our country grants us the right of given speech. So I will use mine from now on. To stop people like you from choosing my destiny for me. I am me.

So a part of me wishes you could embrace me entirely: filled with stressed, extremely busy and full of love. But the rest of me knows I deserve so much more. I would ask you to take me as I am or don't take me at all, but I think we have already chosen.

No Thank You,

The Girl With a Voice

Christmas tree

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.

Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
