Learning to Love myself

the competition

heres to the girls sitting in the shower because you're too tired to stand. here's to the girls who constantly ask themselves if they're good enough for everyone else, and sometimes questioning if they're good enough for themselves. Here's to the girls who can't sleep at night because the situation you're in is too emotionally draining and is taking up space in your mind.

I've always been the one to ask myself these questions, and feel these ways. I was always the one trying to fix things so i can feel better about myself, and I was always the one who remained quiet when things aren't the way they're supposed to be.

I've been called many names, and never said anything.

I've been given dirty looks, and never said anything.

I've been called a liar, on things that I've said and things that I've done.

lately I've felt like there is some competition that's brewing in my life because of deep-rooted jealousy.

I've complained about apologies owed to me, to the extent that I'm even annoying myself. But I soon realized I want an apology because i realize that i deserve better.

So I'm acting on that. No more catering to others needs, no more being quiet. It's about me, now.

my depression and anxiety has been overwhelming. It's time to stop.

So now, there is no competition. There honestly never was. The only one is between me and myself. So please, continue doing what you're doing, and I'll come back stronger than ever each time.

Kisses, Kat

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

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!
