We live in the era where showing off our accomplishments/traveling/life on social media has become vital to our existence. In the mix, comes beautiful superstars that are queens of social media. We see all their beautiful pictures, and suddenly we think that is all there is to them.

Men become conditioned to think women are all about how we look. Who can blame them right? I mean look at the immense amount of movies and televisions shows that objectify women. Of course, this is just merely a reflection of how men actually think.

Men make up 95.7% of directors in the Hollywood industry. It is no wonder women are portrayed in the way where nothing matters but their looks.

All this media exposure, not only allows us to live in a fantasy world, but it soon starts to affect our reality. It makes us vulnerable to the negative influence of others. Therefore leading to focus on the physical aspect of women and even men and ignoring the traits that matter such as character.

When we see someone we like, the first thing that attracts us is their looks. Imagine every person would allow themselves to put all looks aside and focus on the person's character. Friendships and relationships would possibly last longer. You know what they say, outer beauty fades and inner beauty stays.

By no means am I excluding looks at all costs. They do matter, but they are not what we should be focusing on.

Let us celebrate everyone's inner beauty. At the end of the day, character is waht truly captures the heart.

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.
