A Reminder That You Are Awesome
Page A Day

Everyone is dealing with stress. Maybe you're worried about how you're going to pay your bills, how you're going to finish all your homework in time, or you're just concerned about your alarm not waking you up for an important meeting the next morning. No matter what it is, there's stress in everyone's life.

Everyone always loves to remind us of why we should be worrying about our lives, but I hardly ever hear about people just telling me "good job" and "keep up the good work." So, I have decided to make that my job for a day. I want to remind each and every one of you that you are awesome. Forget about the stress every once in a while and think about all that you've accomplished. Just because something is giving you a struggle now does not mean it's impossible or that you can't do it. Look back on the other times you couldn't succeed but then you did. Remember how that felt. And, after you've rediscovered your awesomeness, then you can be ready to tackle your tasks now.

It's also important to remember the things you love about life. Friends, family, a hobby that you couldn't live without. All of these can really help keep you sane when you have all this other stress in your life. Don't forget that you need rest too, so sit back, watch some Netflix, play a game with your family, whatever you want to do to get your mind off life for a little while. Naps are my personal favorite. The world is still spinning and will not stop just because you took a break from reality. Sometimes that's all you need to be able to get back on your feet and finish everything you need to do. There's a reason people have days off. People can't physically work 24/7, which means you have to remember to give yourself that break time. Plus, you deserve it. You've worked hard, it's time to go out and have fun with some friends.

Life is constantly knocking at our door, and every once in a while we just have to let it wait. We're all expected to do so much all at once, and while you have to remind yourself that you are capable of doing it all, you still need to take steps back and rest. Plan your time wisely. If you have to, mark in your calendars when you're going to relax and do whatever you want, so that you don't lose your mind while making your schedule.

The world is so lucky to have you here, but it can wait whenever you need a day or two to recuperate. Everyone will appreciate that you've gotten your head back after you've rested. Just don't forget that you're awesome, you've already done so much, and you will be able to get through whatever you need to get through next.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
