Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

Who do you see in the mirror?

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

Do you give in when you see a mirror or take a picture? Do you only see flaws or do you see yourself how others see you? Do not instantly feel belittled when you look in the mirror. See yourself with your beauty, both inner and outer. The first thing all people need to know is self-confidence. If they are confident in themselves, whether it is looks or an action, they will be happier.

Often times when people look in the mirror and only see imperfections. If people fixate on their imperfections they will only see those imperfections and not their true beauty. Many people have quotes about beauty and not believing the mirror. One person is Chris Butler and he wrote one of my favorite quotes. He wrote the quote, “mirror, mirror on the wall, I’ll always get up after I fall. Whether I run, walk, or have to crawl, I’ll set my goals and achieve them all.” I love this quote because it does not mean we are going to get up and bounce back from failing right away. It shows that things take time to heal and recover from. Whether it takes an individual an hour, a week or even a few months to recover from their failure.

Everyone hits bumps in the road but how they handle it shows their character. If people were to let every negative thing people say about them effect them, people would be nowhere near as strong as they are. If every girl were to let every negative comment effect her, they would not be as strong as they are. Women get their beauty from their confidence. In fairy tales, Disney princesses turn to a mirror and ask who is the fairest of them all. Part of me thinks fairy tales should not have princesses rely on a mirror for its opinion. Frozen made it so people knew all princesses were not perfect. Part of the movie shows Anna waking up with her hair a mess. This is probably my favorite scene of the movie because it shows that not everyone wakes up flawless. People wake up with their hair messy and maybe even have make up left on from the night before.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Girl With Bleached Hair
Tumblr

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
