In response to 5 Reminders You Just Might Need Right Now

Being who you were meant to be sometimes doesn't come so easy. But if there's anything I've learnt during the last few years its not to let anyone tear you down.

We are all unique and are very deserving of love.

Sure, I still struggle with self acceptance and it is something I try to work on when I can.

Here is a poem on just that...


Reflection

The mirror seems distorted,

But it shows you who you are.

Do not dismiss it -

Even when you're lost.

You are your own person.

There's no one else like you.

Look in the mirror and understand

How valued you are.


You are worthy of love.

You are capable of so much.

Let them know of your self-love.

It is not vain,

Its welcomed.


Self-worth is the first place to start.

For, if you can't accept yourself

How do you expect others to?


Love starts at home.

Put yourself first

And in time

You will know.


You are special.

You are loved.

There is no one else

Like you.


Let your uniqueness shine through.

Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer.
