This a letter to the girls that are considered the bigger girl out of her friends.

I know what you are going through - I know this because I am that girl as well. It's not always easy being that girl, it honestly sucks, I'm not going to lie. I often find myself wondering why my friends are even friends with me because I don't consider myself pretty like them because I'm not skinny like they are. All of my friends are beautiful, and I always am wondering how I got such gorgeous friends. I wonder these things because I have always been known as the not so pretty friend of the group by other people.

I have definitely had some struggles throughout my life with this entire situation. I am the girl most guys just talk to so they can get to my friends; it really sucks. Especially if one of the guys you have always had a crush on doesn't want anything to do with you but wants your best friend. I have struggled with my weight for a while now, and the reasons for that are because I just gave up all hope for myself and didn't really care anymore because I would never be as skinny as my friends all are. Recently I have changed a lot in my life: I have gained some confidence and I have been trying to better myself!

This all started when I figured out what I actually wanted to do with my life. I actually am going to be going to college to focus on my future! But that's beside the point right now, my point that I'm trying to make is that I have been working on my weight! I have been eating healthy and working out and trying to better my appearance and I am feeling the healthiest I have ever been in my life! Even when I am going through some hard times I still keep pushing towards the goals I want to reach!

I once talked to this woman that told me, "Having faith and hope for the future is so important." So, with all that being said, I am going to give you some encouragement; you have the power to live your dream life and become the person you always wished you could be. The only way you are going to do this is by BELIEVING you could and by having FAITH in yourself!

I can sit here all night telling you my story and hoping that will help some of you if you are struggling! But, ultimately you CAN be whoever you want to be and you can physically reach your fitness goals that you have if you put in the effort to do so! It takes a lot of hard work and dedication but I promise you all the hard work will eventually pay off! I have been thriving in life with the health goals and things so I know you can do it! You got this, babe!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
