You Are Beautiful Just The Way You Are

You don't have to change a thing, the world can change it's heart.

You Are Beautiful Just The Way You Are

Growing up, I had insecurities about myself. The way I looked in the mirror in a dress, a swimsuit, or a even gym shorts. We all had that one thing we wanted to be different. There's always some image society wants us to be and we feel like we have to be a carbon-copy from a magazine in order for people to like us.

I've personally had this struggle in high school and even in college. I used to hate how make face would be oily or how my hair was so frizzy and short. I used to joke about how my calves looked like turkey legs you get when you're at Disney World. The most difficult was the scars that I had, both physically and emotionally. When I was two, I was in a freak accident and got third degree burns on half of my body and was left with a huge scar on my chest. I always wore a sweater or big t-shirt to cover it cause it made me feel like a monster. There's always one thing that makes us feel different.

I was on Spotify and saw that my favorite new artist, Alessia Cara, had a new song called Scars to Your Beautiful. I thought it was going to be a moody, simple ballad like the rest of them but I was so wrong. The lyrics spoke about what every girl felt trying to be perfect when really, they already were. We don't have to change who we are for the rest of the world's approval. Our scars, on the inside and outside, makes beautiful.

If you wanna hear the song, the video is in the link below. :)

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
