This One Is For The Girls That Think They Aren't Good Enough
Courtney Phillips

This one is for the girls that think they aren't good enough. I want you to stop right there…YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH! Don't you dare sit there and think any less of yourself. Don't you even dare let some fool make you feel any less of yourself.

I am going to be the first to tell you... I am that girl that lets fools make me feel less of myself. I am that girl that thinks she isn't good enough. I am going to tell you why I feel this way right now.

My entire life I have always been someone's second option, I am never a first choice. After a while that gets old and starts to tear me down. So, therefore, it makes me feel like I am not good enough for anyone. Especially in the male department, I am always the second option or something like that. It makes me feel like I am not pretty enough or something. I also never really get the chance to be myself before they end up leaving, which makes me wonder if I really am that bad to talk to. I personally cannot handle this feeling anymore. I have been broken down so many times it's not even funny at this point.

I lately have been finding myself wondering, "Why did I ever care what people thought?" Well, I'll tell you why! It's because TV shows/movies make it seem like we should be living in this world with unrealistic expectations of how things should be.

I have come to the realization that the only person that really matters is you. The only person's opinion that matters is your own. You don't have to prove to anyone what you're worth as long as you are happy. That boy you are stressing over doesn't mean anything, and yes, I said boy, because no man would make you feel worthless!

So to those of you that are struggling with this, keep on shining babygirl, you are stronger than you think!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
