It is all worth it.

5 Steps To Achieve Self-Positivity
Martha Santoyo

As time is getting closer to the finish line (college graduation) sometimes the world can seem to tumble down.That's because life does not allow you to have a break. The family problems, economic situations, or any concerns will continue and it can simply destroy your life at the moment, making the future unclear. Therefore, those four years spent doing all-nighters, reading, studying, slowly dying can make you question if it was all worth it.


Talk to yourself

What you need to say is no to all that negativity, and give yourself a little pep talk. Even though it may seem a little weird, it can help greatly. Reassuring what you want, or how your feeling can open your eyes and reduce your anxiety.

Treat Yourself

Get yourself a little something. You can go out for an ice cream, some nail polish, a basketball, even time can count! Time to watch a show on Netflix, time to take a nap, time to take a bath, or time to make a fuller meal. Treat yourself.


Let your Feelings Out


It is perfectly normal to feel overwhelmed. Letting your feelings poor out will relieve a ton of stress from your shoulders. Showing your feelings is not a sign of weakness, but rather a show of strength because you are acknowledging that you are human, and that is OK.


Have a Dance Party

Having a little goof time will bring a smile on your face. Dance like no one is watching and have some fun! Put on the best songs that will bring back good memories, ones that you can sing and rap to, or ones that will allow you to recreate the choreography from "So You Think You Can Dance."

Surround yourself with Positivity

Surround yourself with people who inspire you. People with a drive to succeed, determination to get there, and dedication to help others. Ambition is contagious and it will get you out of the negative Nancy mode. Now enjoy all the things you have going for you! Look at the positivity, at the people surrounding you, dust the dirt of your shoulders and keep chasing your goals!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
