It's Time For A 'Rebrand' - So Let's Do It Together

Well, folks, it's month four of 2021, and I can bet those resolutions aren't doing so hot right about now. But guess what? That's completely okay. There's no better time to start than the present.

After undergoing laparoscopic surgery to remove my endometriosis, I've decided I'm taking back my life. My chronic pains are gone and I feel brand new. I want my life to look completely different, I want to be unrecognizable. Finally, I want to be happy and enjoy my brand new pain-free life.

So, here's how I'm going to rebrand myself.

Step 1: Write your goals!

Write. It. Down. What do you want to achieve or attain? Write down your goals, and remember to make them attainable? You can also set smaller goals to work towards the bigger prize.

Step 2: Build your daily schedule.

It may seem unimportant, but it is vitally important to write what you want your future to look like. Write what you want your new schedule to look like. Do you want to get up and go for a run, or meditate? Write down what your perfect schedule would look like.

Step 3: Reflect on your current brand.

Where could you have improved, where do you want to do better? Reflecting and working to improve your old brand can help you have a better rebrand.

Step 4: Establish your new brand.

Giphy

What do you want to be known for? Or more importantly, what is it you want to put out into the universe? Do you want people to know you as a source of comfort, or a source of empowerment? What do you want people to know about you? Write down what you want your new brand to be.

Step 5: Clean up your social media!

Over the weekend, I've deleted around 2,000 tweets from my twitter account, and it was so relieving. Cleaning up your social media can allow you an easier path to your rebrand. Go through those Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook accounts!

Step 6: Rearrange your home (or room!)

After my boyfriend built me a computer, I took a step back at my room, and decided I needed just a few slight changes. I simply rearranged my wall decor and I feel so much better, and I have a workspace that motivates me to get work done. Cleaning or rearranging your room to your liking is important so you have a place you're truly comfortable and able to get things done.

Step 7: Be honest

Giphy

To start your journey of rebranding yourself, you must first be honest with yourself. Are you truly reaching your full potential? Is there something you can do better? This is your time to write and reflect.

Step 8: Hold yourself accountable

Giphy

With all this writing and reflection, it might be a good idea to invest in a nice journal (either paper or digital). In this journal you can have a daily check-in where you can hold yourself accountable. Having an accountability partner is also helpful!

Step 9: Surround yourself with positive influences

Sometimes we need to take a step back and evaluate if we truly have positive influences around us. Whether it's friends, or simply the people we follow on social media. Make sure you are creating a positive environment for yourself to grow.

Step 10: Give yourself the room to grow

Giphy

Growth is scary, and not always linear. Give yourself positive self-talk and allow yourself to do things that help you grow. Whether it's journaling, therapy, or trying a new activity, do it. Take care of yourself so you can grow.

Step 11: Trust yourself

Giphy

You are so strong, and have made it this far. This rebranding is your time to claim your name and your brand. This is your time to shine. You've got this.

There is no better time to start than now, you don't have to wait for the first of the month, or a Monday, you can always start right now. So go do it!

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

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. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
