Conventional pretty isn't always the way to go.

Pretty Isn't Worth My Time

I know what you’re thinking, this is some bashing of the pretty girls you meet in high school or college. This isn’t that type of article. Im not someone who hates pretty girls and feels insecure about myself therefore I need to bash someone else to make myself feel better, no that’s not who I am. If I am unsatisfied about something in my life I will go and change it. This is an article about that girl who sees someone and feels like she isn’t good enough, has stylish clothes or even feels like they need to spend more time on those pesky flyaways.

If you want to be more stylish, I encourage you to go out there and ask for help from one of the store associates, look up tips online (Pinterest is your friend) and simply go out of your comfort zone. I encourage you to try some different patterns and colors that you would never plan on putting together. No one can make you feel better about your personal style except yourself. Find out what is your personal style; do you have a boho, preppy or classically elegant personality that will compliment your style? You know that dress you looked at a thousand times but never tried on because you were too scared of the way you might look? Try that dress on!

I have the most flyaways a girl can have on her head. I have this really awkward cowlick that doesn’t seem to want to stay down even with a ton of hairspray. If you don’t like your haircut or style, go get a new one! Try a new length, some layers or even a totally new color! If I get too bored with my haircut, I will just take a couple inches off and adds some layers or face framing to it. I like having some change in my life and in my looks.

The point of this whole article is that if you don’t feel good enough, change something. Make yourself the person you want to be. Don’t go around and copy the prettiest girl in school because what works for her may not work for you, believe me I know. Her style works the best for her because it matches her personality and the who she wants to become. Don’t ever follow someone’s style thinking that you will look the same as they do.

You are your own person. Be the kind, smart, and beautiful person that your loved ones know you to be. If you aren’t satisfied with something in your life then take some initiative and change it! I may or may not know you but, I want you to become the best version of you that you can become. Don’t let someone that you perceive as being prettier than you, ruin your day or make you feel inferior. You cant give them the power to make you unhappy, only let positive things into your life and always change for the better. XOXOXO -Jenn

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
