Here's To Going With The Flow

I'm not saying that you shouldn't care or worry about things at all, but just try to go with the flow.

You stress about work, about school, about your home life, about your social life. I'm here to tell you that enough is enough.

Stop stressing. Stop overthinking. Stop worrying.

I know, I know — it's much easier said than done. But you can at least try and take my advice. I used to constantly overthink and worry about literally everything. Then I realized that you don't get anywhere by being stressed out all of the time. In fact, being so high-strung only hinders your success. It stops you from doing things that may scare you. But, in reality, we should all let ourselves take risks — you never know where they may take you.

I'm not saying that you shouldn't care or worry about things at all, but just try to go with the flow. Whatever is supposed to be will be. Let your life take its course and everything will fall into place. You're young, you have no reason to be constantly stressed. Your entire life is literally still ahead of you — take advantage of that. Take advantage of the fact that you have time. Time to prepare, time to get things to where you want them to be.

Don't compare your success to anyone else's. This will only stress you out further. Your life is just that. YOUR life. Whatever successes or failures that you may experience are unique to you and you alone. Same for everyone else. Just let things happen for you when they're meant to. Don't look at your classmates' or coworkers' lives as a means of comparison to yours, you will never be happy if you do. Instead, focus on being the best version of yourself, because that's what matters.

You're going to be fine. Just go with the flow.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
