A Poem For The Girl Who Struggles To See Her Self Worth

You see her standing there across your way,

And to yourself you begin to say,

Gosh she's perfect, her life seems so great.

Could I be like her, or is it too late?

You stare and you stare, in great disbelief

That a smile so bright could be hiding such grief.

You say no way, not her, she's got it all!

She's pretty, she's funny and she walks so tall.

You fail to come up with something she lacks,

but little do you know when she's alone, her mind attacks .

She lies in her bed, tears running down her face,

each one seeming as if it is some sort of race.

She tries to hold it in, and make her cries silent,

As her mind slowly becomes more and more violent.

She continues to wonder what it is she's doing wrong,

For it was her confidence that was missing all along.

You know it's her confidence that's lacking, for when she looks in the mirror,

she's blind to her blessings, if only she could see clearer.

Constantly worrying and wanting to change,

She wonders why only she is feeling so strange.

She carries on with her life, hiding her struggles,

Wondering why no one else has any of these troubles.

She wonders why me? What did I do,

God answers "look around darling, it's not only you.

You all do nothing but put yourselves down,

and after all of my hard work, seeing that leaves me with nothing but a frown.

For in my eyes I have created a masterpiece, so wonderful and unique,

But everyone wants to change something about their physique.

Open your eyes darling, stop putting yourself down,

Instead treat yourself as royalty, and put on your crown.

In all of your troubles, realize that you are not alone,

and the next time you see a beautiful girl busy on her phone,

Don't wish your life was like hers, something new,

Because darling, that beautiful girl is YOU. "

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.
