11 More Things To Focus On Rather Than Your Outer Appearance
Kaeli Hearn

As I revisit this topic, it has never been more relevant in our society. Every day we are consumed by the notion of what beauty is and what it should look like. But, have you ever ventured into the headspace of focusing on elements of who you are rather than your outer appearance? Here are 11 more things to focus on other than your outer appearance.

1. Your laugh.

How cool is it that your laugh is not like any other laugh? Laugh and laugh often.


2. What inspires you.

What pushes you and inspires you? Channel that into your daily life and watch it reveal your inner beauty.

3. Your favorite things.

Is it baking? Photography? Sports? Take pride in what makes you happy and what makes you who you are today.


4. Your inner wisdom.

Yes, you have it. Go share it with those around you.

5. Your mind.

This is something I think we should all learn to appreciate a bit more. Our minds are capable of storing all this amazing, impactful information and using it for good — if we choose to do so.

6. Your joy.

What give you the most radiant joy? Is it friends, family, a certain place? Take pride in what gives you joy each day.


7. Your signature style.

What is yours? Fun, energetic, composed, intense, funny?

8. Your quirks.

I think this is another trait that you should own and love about yourself. It is the funny quirks that make you uniquely individualistic.

9. Your beliefs.

What you believe is foundational to who you are as a person.

10. Your aspirations.

Where you see your life going is a thing of beauty and passion.

11. Your distinct, unique personality.

You are uniquely beautiful. No one thinks, wants or needs the same things as you. When you find that inner beauty and start channeling that as opposed to the outer beauty, your life radically transforms.

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
