Here's why.

Women Supporting Other Women Is The Best Thing To Happen To Our Society

We live in a society where it is "cool" to outdo each other. We make everything a competition. It is always, who has the better makeup, hair, outfit, etc. or who is in a relationship and whose significant other treats them better? EVERYTHING is a competition and it makes life exhausting. Instead of competing against each other, we should be working together, supporting one another and lifting each other up.

I have noticed within the last year that women are really starting to support other women, and I. AM. HERE. FOR. IT!

We Are Strong

We as women are taken for granted a lot of times. We are treated as fragile little people, both emotionally and physically. People think that we are not as strong as we truly are. We go through so much emotionally, spiritually and physically. We work so hard to reach our goals and our dreams. It is so nice to have the support of others, instead of them trying to constantly tear you down.

Kindness Is Powerful

When you are doubted by others, that gives you motivation to work harder and prove them wrong, but kindness and support is even more powerful.

Growing up, I was always doubted and knocked down by mean girls by anything and everything, whether it was my clothes, hair or makeup (or lack thereof). This gave me anxiety, stress, depression and self doubt. Because of the mean girls, I was self conscious for years.

When you have support and motivation from others, they push you to go above and beyond your original goals. They push you to be the best that you can possibly be, even when you do not believe in yourself, your girl gang will always believe in you and have your back through the ups and downs, and that is the best feeling in the world.

Building Each Other Up Makes Us More Powerful

When we support each other, we help each other grow in better ways and to be our best selves.

Building each other up only makes us better and stronger.

We should not be competing against one another. Tearing each other down only does more harm than good.

Women supporting women has been the best thing to happen to our society in a long time. We will all be better versions of ourselves and happier people when we support one another.

Being mean and petty does not help anyone and is always unnecessary.

So let's keep this trend going and spread kindness like wildfire!

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
