To The All-American Girl

You are not indecisive.

To The All-American Girl
Reader's Digest

You know exactly who you are. You are the girl whose friends remind you daily that you can't make up your mind, that you're indecisive and can't be taken seriously, in a joking way of course. They do not mean anything negative, but they do not understand you.

I am here to tell you, they are wrong. You are not full of nonsense. You are not indecisive. Between goals, talents, careers, taste in boys, fashion, friends, and everyday life...you are the girl full of dreams. You want to do or try to do everything. You look at the glass half full and chase after anything.

You're an All-American Girl.... And a good one at that.

The All-American Girl does it all -- she has no boundaries. She has no need for the same routine every day. She loves everyone with her whole heart, she tries her best at everything she does, and she is fearless. She is not afraid of failure and most certainly is not afraid to be herself. She creates her own destiny. She wants to dye her hair blonde one minute and black the next, be an astronaut, a scuba-diver, a helpless romantic, a free-bird, somewhere in the hall of fame, and maybe even write a novel one day.

She wants to do it all. And although that may seem impossible, it sounds like fun to her. She goes wherever the wind takes her. The wind is not a light breeze, but comes full force. She doesn't hesitate to dare to move, but many people misunderstand her for that.

They think that she is showing off or can't decide what she wants to do in life. The truth is, she does what makes her happy in the moment. She does what makes her a better person or teaches her important life lessons that many people will never learn. Because she follows her heart, she finds herself in the midst of everything.

So credit to ya, All-American Girl. The world would be a boring place without you. We all need you in our life. We need your confidence to take chances. We need your intuition to follow your gut. We need your open-minded personality. People are so scared to try everything. It's like when you have fifteen tables set up in your favorite grocery store full of samples of food, but you only keep going to the same table.

Don't settle. Explore instead. Be your own version of an all-american girl. Try everything! The all-american girl has realized that some things won't work out for her, she may not like her choices, and she may decide to turn back for something else, but she doesn't go down without a fight. She gives everything a chance because the world is big and full of opportunity and so many adventures are waiting.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
