To The Girls Stressing About A "Spring Break Body," Confidence Looks Good On Anyone

Confidence is sexier than being unhealthy.

As spring break approaches, females tend to stress about having the perfect body. The gyms start to become more packed at all hours of the day and girls talk about cutting out carbs and sugar. BUT WHY?

To my fellow fabulous females, we are MORE than a “spring break body.” I understand if you want to make a lifestyle change and live a healthier life. However, there is no reason to cut out meals and spend hours at the gym just for this one week.

Here is a little reminder why. You are beautiful the way you are. If a boy or girl doesn’t like you for who you are and the way you look, then they don’t deserve you with abs and maybe a few pounds lighter.

You also only live once. Eat that bagel and enjoy that pizza! Spring break is one tiny chapter in an entire book. It is all about having fun with your friends! Just a tiny reminder, your friends don’t care if you have abs or not.

It is so upsetting that we live in a society that says you can only feel good in a bathing suit when you look a certain way. WHO MADE THIS UP? I think women look their best when they are radiating with confidence. Walk onto that beach with your strut and smile, and you will be the hottest girl along the water.

Happiness comes from within. Your body should not control your happiness. So just remember these thoughts, enjoy your week in the sun, and know you are perfect just the way you are!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
