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).

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
