Confident Vs. Conceited
Someecards

There has always been a fine line between being very confident in yourself and thinking the world of yourself. Most people who are extremely confident get judged by others as being too self-centered, which isn't true at all. Most people tend to confuse what it means to be conceited and what it means to be confident:

1. When Admitting You Are Wrong.

Confident people can openly admit they are wrong. When people think that by you ‘losing’ the other person ‘wins.’ When in reality ‘losing’ only makes you stronger.

Conceited people strongly believe in ‘my way or the highway.’ This puts you above others and always makes you correct.

2. When Accepting A Compliment.

Confident people accept compliments humbly and know that even if you believe the compliment isn't true you still accept it anyways, because rejecting a compliment is like rejecting their perception.

Conceited people will respond from a compliment with ‘I know,’ and it doesn't get much ruder than that. Even if after you claim to be ‘just kidding’ everyone knows that there is some truth behind it.

3. When Carrying Yourself.

Confident people tend to walk around with their head held high and theirs shoulders back. Confident people are not afraid about certain situations because they always seem to be able to understand others view points.

Conceited people will have the attitude as ‘their shit doesn’t stink’ and walk around with their nose in the air. It is hard for these people to sympathize with others situations because they feel as if they are grater than them not equal.

4. When Talking About Personal Successes.

Confident people will acknowledge they did will and not harp on the fact. They will mention all the hard work they put in plus they wont forget to mention all the others who helped them reach their goal.

Conceited people strongly believe that they are the only factor for their success. They also tend to over exaggerate all of the obstacles they have over come just to reach their goal.

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. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. 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.
