These Are My Insecurities.

Everyone has them.

My chin points out in a weird way, and I have these huge pores that I see every time I look in a mirror. My nose is a little too large for my face, and my lips are a little too small. My eye bags never seem to go away, so I look permanently exhausted. It's kind of like I haven't slept in days, but that's also a little true. I sleep way too much or way too little. My height makes me look about 13-16 years old. I can't remember a time where someone actually thought I was over the age of 16. I gain weight if I eat even the slightest bit off track, so I end up eating too much or too little. That's another flaw of mine though, I care if I gain weight. It seems to be all or nothing with me, and it's really something I can't help. My laugh is super loud, and my voice is incredibly squeaky. I have a short temper. I have stretch marks almost everywhere from the said before, gaining and loosing so often. No matter what I do, I can't make my double chin go away. I'm a bit of a try hard.

These are my insecurities.

But, the only great thing about insecurities; is that we all have them.

No one is alone in this battle against themselves. Even if someone seems to have it all together within themselves, they still have their moments. Even the biggest self-love advocate, has their days.

Justify your insecurities, and turn them into something positive. Even if the positive out come is that you can simply joke about it, that counts for something.

These are my insecurities, but I am not alone.

Neither are you.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
