"You Are Beautiful In Every Single Way"

The way you look at yourself is a huge deal, and struggling with your body image is a huge problem among girls of all ages, myself included.

Being a girl is hard. there's hormones, our many many emotions and of course, boys. We all long to look like those Victoria Secret models and be able to wear all the cute new styles and to just fit in with everyone else, but let me tell you a little secret... None of that matters, because whether you are a size 2 or 22, you are absolutely beautiful and someone will always love you for you.

There are many reasons girls struggle with the way they look, and it really shouldn't be that way.

To the girls with a weight problem

Size is just a number and you should never let that number define who you are! You are an amazingly beautiful young woman with so much potential. Please don't let the size of your jeans stop you from being happy.

To the girls with the eating disorder

Whether its anorexia or bulimia you are still beautiful and when you're ready for help someone will always be there. You don't have to be a size 0 just to be beautiful. Beauty comes from within and every single girl in this world is beautiful.

To the girls with the scars

Those scars aren't a sign of weakness, they are a sign of how strong you really are. I know how hard it is too live with the scars, Whether they are self harm or other incidents, I know. Scars are beautiful, they tell a story of a beautiful girl that has had a little trouble along the way. Don't be ashamed of your scars, wear those shorts and tank tops. Find a cute swimsuit to wear. Show off your body because as soon as you start feeling comfortable in your own skin you will start feeling better all around. The best decision I ever made was to stop hiding my scars. You are beautiful and I may not know you, but I'm here for you.

To the girls who thinks makeup will help

Yes it's fun to dress up sometimes and put on a whole face of makeup, but darling, you don't need any of that to make you beautiful. I'm not saying don't wear makeup, you can wear as much as you want, but I want you to know that you are absolutely beautiful with or without it. Just do what makes you happy.

To every girl out there

You are all very smart, beautiful, and amazing women and please don't let anyone ever tell you any different. Being a girl in this society can be a daily struggle, not just because of body images but because we are all fighting our own battles. There are probably times where it feels like no one could ever possibly care about you or your problems, but I promise you that everyone has someone that will always be there for them through their worst times.

Even though you probably don't know me I will always be there for you. So if you feel like you are all alone just remember that I'll be here no matter what the situation is.

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.
