You are worth it.

To the Girl Who Never Feels Like She's Enough
Like Success

We've all been there. We are going about our normal lives feeling confident as ever until that one thing appears that makes everything you've ever believed in crumble. That thing is called self doubt and it's capable of crippling even the strongest person.

It can be anything. A bad grade, a snobby friend, a rude comment, a boy.

These things sneak into our lives and then suddenly we feel like we are never going to be good enough. It's hard. It's really hard, and we walk around with this feeling every day. The words "you can't do that" or "he's too good for you" repeats in your head over and over. You don't think you are beautiful or smart anymore. This isn't something that goes away,

To every girl who has felt these insecurities, let me tell you that you are good enough and you are not alone. Do not let these fears and doubts become your undoing, although I know how hard that is. Do not waste your precious time and effort trying to put together broken glass that is too far gone.

Remember that if a boy ever makes you feel small, he is the one who is not good enough.

Remember that grades do not control you or define the quality person that you are.

Remember that every rude comment is just someone else's insecurities and they should not control you.

Remember that you are beautiful and strong and don't need anyone to make you feel that way. Never question your self worth because you are good enough. Try to surround yourself in positivity and get rid of any negative. Life is short. You should not spend it on little worries and self doubt. Stop worrying about what people think about you and focus on yourself. ou deserve that much.

Sincerely,

A girl who knows what it's like to feel like she's not good enough

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that.
