13 Affirmations For The Struggling Woman
Skeeze

We all have those times when we get down on ourselves and forget who we are and what we have to offer the world. Too many times in this day and age, we seek that answer in other people, especially significant others.

1. You are beautiful.

Look in the mirror every morning and find two things a day that you think are beautiful. This could be as simple as you're having a good hair day, your eyes look really good, or you like the new shirt you're wearing. Find that validation in yourself.

2. You are worthy.

One day, there will be someone who loves you the way you deserve to be loved. For now, don't settle for someone who doesn't give you what you need.

3. You are smart.

Whether it's book smarts or street smarts, you are smart. You have that one thing that you know more about than most people. Teach your friends about it. Everyone loves learning something new.

4. You are strong.

You've made it this far. Everyone goes through their own struggles, and you've made it successfully through all of yours so far.

5. You are kind.

You may be the person that all your friends come to so they can vent. You may volunteer your time. You may cook your friends soup when they're feeling bad. Everyone is kind in their own way.

6. You are whole.

You don't need another person to complete you. Without another person, you can still breathe, eat, sleep, and speak. You don't need another person to do those things for you.

7. You are loved.

That love may not come from a significant other, but you have people in your life who love you. You have friends that would do anything for you. You have family you can always call.

8. You are going places.

Make plans for your future that don't include a partner. Make plans that you will do whether you're with someone or not. Plan to achieve that dream job and go on that vacation you've always wanted to go on.

9. You are not alone.

You may not have a significant other, but there are significant others that do care for you and are more than happy to be around you if you ask. You don't have to go through this alone.

10. You are passionate.

Find that one thing that you love to do. That thing that makes your heart beat faster than it ever has. Then do that thing. A lot.

11. You are a role model.

It doesn't matter who you are, someone is always looking up to you. It might be a younger sibling, peers at school, peers at work, or even people who are watching to cheer you on with what you're doing in life.

12. You are accomplished.

You have been able to breathe for your entire life without having to rely on someone else. If that's the only thing you've done, you've still done something. Bonus points if you've graduated from any level of schooling.

13. You are going to be okay.

No matter what happens in life, you'll keep breathing, you'll keep moving, and you'll keep succeeding. So keep kicking butt.

Whatever you're going through, you got this.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
