Here's A Reminder To You And Everyone Else In Your Life: You Are Priceless And Cannot Be Replaced

You walk up to the full-length mirror. You stand there and look at your reflection. The images of what you see on the television screen and in the magazines run through your mind. You start to pick at every flaw. Too tall, too short, too thin, too big. My ears stick out, I don't have long enough legs, I don't have a six-pack and I have acne on my face. The list goes on and on.

In today's society, we are pressured to look a certain way. It's hard to ignore the 'ideal image' that is around us. We always compare ourselves to one another along with the people that we see on the television screen and in pictures. I'm not trying to knock down anyone who looks like this in any way. I just want to say that no one should have to strive to look a certain way because of what society has told us how we should look. We should not be putting one image above the rest and saying that it's better than every other image out there.

God made each and every one of us differently for a reason. If we all looked and acted like one another, then it would be really boring.

Today, I want to tell whoever is reading this, that you are priceless. No one can ever replace you because God only made one you. No matter what you have heard or what you have seen, I want to tell you today, that you have so much worth. You are worth more than all the money in the world. Don't you forget that. I even have to remind myself sometimes of my worth, and not to compare myself to others because I'm just as guilty as any of us.

You are priceless.

You are irreplaceable.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
