To Little Girls Everywhere

For every little girl that's currently growing up, I have a few words for you. Quite frankly, I have a few words I would tell myself if I was your age. You're growing up and that's okay. Trust me, it's really scary and a lot of things are going to happen in a short amount of time. Your going to start changing not only physically but mentally. You're going to see some crazy things in your life and you're going to have to challenge yourself to get passed it, but darling you've got a wonderful world ahead of you, just you wait.

Every spring, you might assume the flowers are going to blossom to a perfect soft pink with a reflection of the sun beaming down onto the bright green grass. You'll picture yourself spinning around with a gorgeous gown and living like a princess. However, you're not always going to get that. Sometimes the flowers take a little longer to bloom and the clouds hide the sun pulling away the brightness from the green and bringing it back to the brown grass of winter. I've seen this happen and allow me to be the first person to tell you that the flowers will eventually come out of hiding and the grass will be the brightest green you've ever seen.

Things take time, and while you wait for your moments, take the time to notice the little things that are happening in life. For example, to you, learning a new spelling word may seem like the worst thing in the world, but you're going to appreciate knowing that word when you're head of your office one day.

Don't let anyone tell you fairytales are fake. Because that's just a bunch of bologna. Listen, I know we all want our prince charming to sweep us off our feet, it takes time and there will be challenges, however, it's not impossible. There are still great men in this world that are going to steal your hearts with good intentions. They're going to be there for you when you need someone to cry to, and they're going to dance with you. He'll look at you like you're the only girl in the world, because that's how much you mean to him.

Lastly, you can be whatever and whoever you want to be. In fact, I challenge you to be different. Remember that it's okay to cry, but smiling is the most beautiful feature a lady can have.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
