You Are More

Let the world change before you conform.

You Are More
Thought Catalog

In a society where the newest social norm has become to belittle others for their beliefs, looks, or even the way the outfits they wear; I have found it important to remind others that you are more

You are more than that final grade you made.

You are more than that boy who broke your heart.

You are more than that number on the scale.

You are more than the words that your "best friend" said behind your back.

You are more than that subtweet on Twitter, or the likes you get on Instagram.

You are more than that mistake you made last year, last month, or even yesterday.

You are more than the price tag on your clothes.

You are more than the makeup you put each morning because you think you look bad without it.

You are more than the thoughts that consume your mind.

You are more than that drunken snapchat you sent to that guy in hopes he would notice you.

You are more than what the world tells you to believe about yourself.

You are more than your daily struggles.

You are more than just beautiful.

You are more than just funny.

You are more than your title at your work place.

You are than a friend, sister, brother, wife, husband, or cousin.

You are so much more.

You are worth so much more than you believe. As the new Alessia Cara song states, "And you don't have to change a thing The word could change its heart." Let the world change the way it views other before you begin to conform to the world. The world is always going to judge you. People are always going to say things, and criticize you. But please remember you are worth so much more than you believe. You are more.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
