Unless you live under a rock, you've probably heard all the buzz around Rachel Hollis's new book, "Girl, Wash Your Face." If you haven't read this book, run (not walk) to the closest Barnes and Noble and pick it up if you want to feel like a totally new person when you finish. So many people struggle with feeling like they aren't enough (myself included), so if you want to make a change, pull yourself together and wrap yourself in positivity (which is exactly what this book will do).

1. "Girl, get a hold of your life. Stop medicating, stop hiding out, stop being afraid, stop giving away pieces of yourself, stop saying you can't do it. Stop the negative self-talk. Stop abusing your body, stop putting it off for tomorrow or Monday or next year. Stop crying about what happened and take control of what happens next. Get up, right now. Rise up from where you've been, scrub away the tears and pain of yesterday, and start again... Girl, wash your face!"

2. "Turns out, the most beautiful things in my life were never on my to-do list." 

3. "When you really want something, you will find a way. When you don't really want something, you will find an excuse." 

4. "You don't grow or change or become who you want to be by sitting in one place. You become that person when once you take a leap of faith, and you're flying through the air, and you have no idea if you have a parachute, how you're gonna land, and you don't know what to do. That's how you become who you were meant to be... so jump." 

5. "Our words have power, but our actions shape our lives."

6. "You must choose to be happy, grateful, and fulfilled. If you make that choice every single day, regardless of where you are at or what's happening, you will be happy." 

7. "As long as you allow someone to treat you badly, they will continue to do so. If you're not able to value yourself, no one else will either." 

8. "... you're not in control of what life throws at you, you are in control of the fight." 

9. "Embracing chaos might be the journey we take to finding peace." 

10. "You cannot ignore your pain. You cannot ever leave it behind completely. The only thing you can do is find a way to embrace the good that came out of it." 

I hope you realize how enough you really are. We are all on our own journey, but it's all about how we embrace both the highs and lows that shapes our life.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
