Love Yourself

Don't let cuffing season get to you boo

78
Love Yourself
Molly Martinez

Sometimes all you need to do in life is love yourself. Your life is too short to worry about if someone likes you or to be stressing about something that is so small. This year has been very stressful and let me tell you something I forgot to love myself for a while. Life just gets in the way and that's okay it literally happens to the best of us but there comes a time in your life when you just need to love yourself.

Have the day to yourself and just go get lost. Go to the beach, read a book, watch a movie, go get dinner. Do something that gives you the time to stop and think of what makes you happy.

I know that this is the time of the year where everyone is trying to "cuff" someone and let me tell you something some of y'all are taking cuffing season a little too serious. I get it, it sucks to be lonely when everyone is out there with their boo and you're just chilling on the sideline but trust me don't rush into something that you are not ready for. This is the time where you need to just be selfish and have the time of your life. Also having a boo just means you have one more person to get a present for so don't do it unless you want to.

I am very avid in telling my friends to not rush into things and to just literally do them for a while. Cause how can you love someone if you don't even know how to love yourself first. Trust me it's very hard. I understand that you can learn to love yourself while still being in a relationship but I feel like that's hard to do (idk that's just me tho).

My family always tells to have fun and to focus on my school because someone will come along. It might not be today, tomorrow, or the day after that but the right person will. This is the time of your life where you need to focus on what you want to be and do it because you don't have anything holding you back.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
