Why It's Okay To Be The Girl Who Focuses On Herself

You don't want to be the girl who everyone wants, you want to be the girl who knows what she wants.

You're not being selfish. You're not being narcissistic either. You simply know what you want, and that is time to focus on yourself. Time to learn, grow and enjoy all of the beautiful things that are before you. You don't need a guy. You don't need comfort and reassurance. You have the world at your fingertips and because you know yourself, you know exactly what you desire from it.

1. You deserve happiness.

Because you deserve laughing until you cry, screaming out with pride, singing in the shower, smiling for no reason at all happiness. You should never feel like you have to settle for anything less than exactly that. And there is nothing wrong with focusing on yourself and taking the time to find exactly what brings you that kind of happiness.

2. The people that you spend your time with matter.

We are all so busy. We all give our time to a number of different things. Whenever someone wants to spend their time with you, you appreciate that. You realize how much it means when someone is willing to put time aside in their day just for you. But on the other hand, you expect that same amount of appreciation whenever you do the same. We all really are so busy and there is nothing wrong with being picky about how you spend your time and more importantly, who you spend it with.

3. Being hard to get never hurt anybody.

But we're not talking about playing games here. This is very similar to point two made above. It simply means that you realize that not only is your time valuable but so is everyone else's. You respect other people's priorities and you aren't afraid to establish your own. Your friends are a priority, your job or your education is a priority and most importantly you are your own first priority. And the bottom lines is If someone really wants to spend time with you, than they should be able to make the effort to express that to you.

4. Our passions are our fuel.

It is said time and time again, but life really is too short. It's too short to settle for anything but chasing after your wildest passions. To harness and awaken those dreams that burn deep inside your core. You have the power to change the world, to impact the lives of people around you and make a difference for the causes that you believe in. Never feel silly for chasing after your dreams and using your passions to turn them into a reality, and don't let anyone convince you that you should be doing otherwise.

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.
