Know Your Self Worth

One of the hardest things in this world can be knowing who you really are and what you deserve. I think we all can be just a little too hard on ourselves, and that needs to stop.

Some people have to be the best at whatever they do. Getting straight A's, but one of those A's being an A- could make them disregard the fact they got straight A's and then they feel like a failure. Some people need affirmation from people. The thought of someone not liking them could put them into a million broken pieces. Some people will take everything to heart. You could compliment them as much as you want, but the one negative thing you say or criticism will keep them up at night.

I think sometimes we forget to look at ourselves clearly. Instead, we look in the mirror and only see our failures, mistakes, things people have said about us, our past, etc. We forget to see how great we truly are and all the potential we have to be better. Maybe if everyone were fans of each other instead of critics this world would be a much better place with happier people.

If someone has ever said something to you or done something to you that made you feel less of a person they had no right to do that and they are wrong.

"If you let people's perception of you dictate your behavior, you will never grow as a person" -Mr. Feeny, Boy Meets World.

Imagine if we could see ourselves how we see the people we admire so much or could see ourselves through the eyes of the people who love us the most.

If someone hasn't told you this today. You're smart, beautiful, and an all around great person. Know what you deserve in life and do not settle for less. If anyone is in your life cannot see how great you are or makes you feel less then...they simply do not deserve you or deserve to have a place in your life. Know your self-worth.

"You is smart, You is kind, You is important" -The Help

Stay your awesome authentic self. Always.

(A special thank you to everyone in my life who has been there to remind me of my self-worth, you guys are awesome).

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
