There Should Be No Such Thing As A "Bikini Ready" Body

No matter what size, weight, or height you may be, you are beautiful.

With summer rolling around, swimsuits and shorts coming out of the closet and the "get the bikini body" ads coming up all over social media platforms, it can be very overwhelming.

There is always this pressure whenever summer is about to approach. People start shuffling into the gym and squeezing in workouts to get the body that is "beach-ready" and "Instagram" worthy.

Trust me, I get it.

You want to feel confident, and going to the gym can be a part of that process, which is so awesome. Working towards your health with exercising is always beneficial. But I believe that every single body is beach ready and Instagram worthy.

No matter what size, weight, or height you may be, you are beautiful. Show off the cellulite and the stretch marks; it shows that you are a living human being. These are all natural parts of our body that we shouldn't try to hide.

Show off all your curves because you were perfectly made this way. All of the beautiful parts of you make you so unique.

Because honestly, what is a "bikini-ready" body? What we see on TV or on the front of stores? What society is portrayed as the right "bikini-ready" body?

Hell no, women are beautiful in every form. To have society show us that the only way we should be is skinny and toned with a six-pack is not what we should be following.

We should be following the path of feeling good in our own skin, loving ourselves entirely, and showing it all off in any way we want. Do you want to wear a one-piece? Go ahead. You want to wear a bikini? Go ahead.

It is your damn life and your damn body.

How you choose to flaunt it is all up to you but, trust me, you got a body that is worth showing off.

So take a million Instagram pictures and show your body off in any way you want. Just remember to love yourself and know that you are beautiful and perfect the way that you were made.

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!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
