The Day You Start To Love Yourself

Today is the day and you are beautiful.

The Day You Start To Love Yourself
Nanda Bezera

The day has finally come. You wake up, look in the mirror and see all that you are. Today is the day.

You see the way your hair falls so uniquely and how it frames your face perfectly. You notice that sparkle in your eye that draws everyone in. You notice that your smile is like no other and it makes you look beautiful. Today is the day you look at yourself and realize that you love what you see.

You'll put on an outfit on that you know makes your body look flawless. That runway outfit that when you put it on, all eyes are on you. This is your "unstoppable" outfit.

You'll do your makeup or style your hair in a way that is perfect. This instantly puts you in a good mood because not only is your outfit on point, but now the whole image is perfected. You don't feel artificial. You don't feel like you're in a costume. You feel beautiful.

It's time for breakfast and you realize how good you are treating your body by starting the day off right. Maybe you just have a simple bowl of cereal or maybe you make the most extravagant omelette. It doesn't matter. You're starting the day off right.

You scroll through your phone and realize all the potential plans you have ahead of you. Lunch date with the girls? Sports with the guys? Quiet day at the beach? The world is your oyster. You can do whatever because today is the day.

You decide to go out with friends and boy was that the right choice. They surround you with good spirits and funny jokes. You feel like the life of the party and the conversation is just flowing. Your confidence is showing and they definitely notice. It's infectious. Everyone around you can't help but smile and radiate the same light of confidence.

No one wants to stop the party so you all make plans to continue this over dinner. You all order your favorite meals, and you're still infecting people with your smile. They can't get enough of your outgoing nature.

The night is ending and everyone is sad to go. They all give you hugs and tell you this HAS to happen again. You agree because the day was great. You haven't had a day like that in a while but you know there are many more to come because today, something happened.

Today, you didn't go home to dread the next day. Today, you went home and got in your favorite pajamas. Today, you took off your makeup and still saw the beauty. Today, you looked back on a day well spent. Today finally came. Today is the day you woke up and saw all that you are. This is it. Today is the day you started to love yourself.

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.
