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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
