5 Things Every Girl Should Tell Themselves Everyday

If you're a girl, you know that it can be glamorous. Manicures, pedicures, make-up, hair straighteners, hair curlers, jewelry, high heels - you name it. It can be so fun to dress up, get all glammed-up, and take selfies. However, being a girl can be hard. Being a girl means nit-picking, over analyzing, criticizing everything about ourselves, and saying some not so nice things. This is a bad habit almost all girls have gone through in their lives whether it was at age 13 or 23, it happens, it's normal, but it doesn't mean it's okay.

Girls shouldn't be staring at themselves in the mirror for hours, or taking pictures and hating on themselves, instead, they should be telling themselves these five things everyday.

1. I'm Beautiful

No it's not conceited, it doesn't make you full of yourself, but it sure as heck is better than saying the opposite. Plus, the more you say something, the more you start to believe it, and every girl deserves to think that she is beautiful, every single day. It's easy to compare yourself to other people, especially with all of the social media we have these days, you're always scrolling across models, celebrities, athletes, and sometimes we doubt ourselves, so don't compare yourself to the beauty of others, because you have your very own.

2. I'm More Than A Body

This couldn't be more true. You are more than the amount of skin you have on your bones, more than the size of your butt, or the rolls on your stomach. Don't calculate your self worth based on what the scale says, or how your clothes fit. Everybody, and every body is different, and it doesn't matter which one you have, because you are much more than that.

3. I'm Loved

There's no harm in reminding yourself that you are loved by your friends, and your family. In fact, it can be really soothing to just think about all the love you're surrounded by and how those people care so much about you and only want to watch you be happy and succeed in life.

4. I'm Smart

Regardless of anything, you are a smart human being and your knowledge is something to be proud of. Once again, saying this to yourself will really make you believe it and even put those smarts to good use.

5. I Love Myself

This one might be the most important one, because after all, if you don't love yourself, it makes all the rest of the things really hard to say. It takes time, and you might not believe all this stuff every single day, but I promise if you take the time to look in the mirror and say these things instead of scrutinizing yourself, it will make your life so much better and your outlook on things.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
