Four Motivational Reads For Every Twenty Something College Girl

October is well under way, the crisp fall air has arrived, and the leaves are beginning to change. This is my favorite month of the year, not only for the sweater weather and all things pumpkin flavored, but that it's finally chilly enough to curl up with a good book!

Four Motivational Reads For Every Twenty Something College Girl

Here are four of my favorite feel good, soul food, motivational books that every college girl should read! The authors of these books are incredible, badass women who I see as such positive role models for what it means to be a girl boss in all that you do.

1. Own Your Everyday by Jordan Lee Dooley

Jordan Lee Dooley

Okay, Jordan Lee Dooley is the absolutely definition of a girl boss. This woman has taken what it means to be an entrepreneur and go getter and encompassed into a career and lifestyle. I think sometimes the female figures we look up to often feel so distant and their goals can seem unattainable like, how could I ever do that? Jordan's story is so relatable and left me feeling ready to take on my passions in a whole new way. She just opened up an online course called Own It Academy, as extension of her book among other projects, so check out what she's up to on her Instagram.

2. Girl, Wash Your Face by Rachel Hollis

Girl, Wash Your Face: Stop Believing the Lies About Who You Are So You Can Become Who You Were Meant to Be is AMAZING. You could pick up this book and read a few pages here and there, and it just really helps put things into perspective as a busy college girl and remind you of just how important self care is. Rachel Hollis is a motivational speaker and total badass with podcasts and much more, and even a second book, Girl Stop Apologizing, that I can't wait to read.

3. Becoming by Michelle Obama

Michelle Obama's memoir Becoming is inspirational in so many ways, as she tells her story from her childhood all the way to her time in the White House. This book is about so much more than politics and Michelle's story is a great example of just how far hard work and a great attitude can get you in life.

4. You Are A Badass by Jen Sincero

Jen Sincero is an incredible life-coach known for her ability to talk about self-help in a hilarious and upfront manner. You Are A Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life, is a self help book with everything from inspiring stories to simple day to day life tips, that is really made with the young college girl in mind. Sincero addresses the self doubt that many of us face every day and provides real life advice on how to turn things around and live life to the fullest, like an absolute badass.

I hope you read one of these on a chilly day and feel empowered to make your mark on the world as a college gal!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

Thank you for all that you do for me
Thank you for working through disagreements with me
Thank you for always supporting me
I appreciate you more than words can express
You have helped me grow and become a better person
I can't wait to see where life takes us next
I promise to cherish every moment with you
Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
