For Those Who Don't Feel Good Enough

Everyone has felt like they couldn't measure up to others, but what really matters is how you cope.

Well all have had those days where they feel like they just don't measure up to others, and trust me, I've had my fair share. But the most important thing to think about is that this feeling will pass eventually.

1. First, take a breather.

At the moment, it seems like you have nothing going for you. I get it. You may be overwhelmed with school, work, etc. But you should take some time to yourself and think of all the things that you have succeeded in, instead of the things you haven't succeeded in. Take a deep breath and relax. Try to meditate as well.

2. Know that you have supporters cheering you on.

Everyone at least once feels like no one cares about them, but that isn't true. Someone out there is watching you and saying, " Hey, that girl/boy is pretty awesome at what they do. I'm proud of them and can't wait to see them grow." It could be a family member, teacher, significant other, or even a friend. Someone cares.

3. You are good enough.

It's as simple as that. You are worth every breathe that you take, and you matter to a lot of people. So, I suggest to write down some things that has improved your life or someone else's life.

4. And finally, you are not alone.

Yes, just about every post like this says something of that sorts, but it's so true. Thousands, if not millions of people are going through something similar you are going through, and it's okay. If you are having suicidal thoughts or actions please call the suicide hotline number (1-800-273-8255). You are loved, and most importantly; you are enough.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
