Take Pride In Yourself

Looking nice is always a good confidence boost

One of the things that I hear all the time is " Who are you trying to look good for?" and I have three answers for that; Me, everyone, and no one. I try to look my best every day, and that doesn't mean I have to wear a dress, do my makeup really fancy, and have a tiara on. I do this for myself because I for one feel so much better when I know I look put together. I like knowing that no matter who I would happen to run into in the hallways, the grocery store, or the park I would be confident about what I was wearing and how I looked. By trying to look put together and nice everyday I am also benefitting my peers, my school, and my community, because I am representing them. When I introduce my self around my friends, when I say what school I go to, and when I say where I am from people are putting my face to that place or that group of people, if I look bad or sloppy then thats what I am portaying everything around me as. Also, when I am going to meet up with friends or family, or I'm going to a party, looking good is just respectful. Going over to someones house looking like you don't care at all about your appearance is like saying to them that that event or that person isn't worth the time it would take to dress nicely. I also do this for absolutely no one. Sometimes I wake up a little late and I'm really tired and I really don't want to care what I look like, but I know that if I let myself do that it can become a habit so I make myself do it even though I might not feel like, maybe no one else notices, and maybe I don't meet anyone new that day. I was still prepared. All of this to say there isn't a particular style that counts as looking nice. Whatever your style is wear it with pride. You don't have to spend hours on your hair and makeup, maybe just run a brush through it or whatever works for you to feel good about it. Having pride in youself and your appearance won't hurt anyone, but will help you feel more confident and make others be more drawn to you. And don't forget that your most important accessory is always your smile.

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.
