I Know What I Bring To The Table

Today at the gym a group of us ladies were chatting about life, love and men after finishing an intense cardio class. Someone brought up a quote I had never heard before and it got me thinking. She said, "I know what I bring to the table and I am not afraid to eat alone"

Re-read it! Think hard on it! Even make it your wallpaper on your phone, because honestly this is the quote you should use for any situation you are in. This one quote could and should be applied to just about any situation possible and it's likely the wisest thing I have ever heard. Of course the way this was used earlier was in the context of dating, but there are so many others that this could fit in. Boss not admiring your work and full potential? Find a new job! Your boyfriend or girlfriend making you feel like useless trash? Leave them! Because as soon as you feel like you are the problem in the situation and you did nothing wrong, that is the point to walk away!

I'm not necessarily saying that in every situation, that you are not the problem. Every situation is different and at least one time in your life you have probably been the source of the issue, but if you are giving 110 percentand still are getting put down about everything you are doing wrong, it's time to stop!

This leads me to my next point, you need to know your worth. Just because tone person doesn't believe you are enough, does not mean you are not. You are enough. God created you for a purpose and thatreason is greater than anything anyone ever thinks about you. If they think other wise, get up and leave, because someone out there will appreciate every single little thing you do, even if that person is you.

You also have to learn to Love yourself and make yourself happy. If you're going to be sitting alone, you have to be entertained. If you are not going to be happy with yourself, then who else is? Being happy with yourself will make you unstoppable. This will also make you a strong, happy, independent woman or man.

I myself am guilty of not doing this enough. Being single, I often think about settling just to be in a relationship, not waiting for someone good for me, or someone who respects me, or most importantly waiting for someone who likes me for who I am. But knowing that one special guy is out there for me, who will fit this whole list above, makes me not afraid to sit alone for just a little longer.

So next time you are being put down for something or not being appreciated enough, know your worth and remember this quote and never be afraid to sit alone.

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.
