15 Reasons You Should Appreciate Yourself More
Brooke Lark

I know when you're in college, your world revolves around class, grades, and your schedule. Sometimes it's hard to try to find yourself in all the rush of college life, but I definitely think all of you are worth it. No matter who you are or where you came from, there's definitely a ton of reasons why you should think more of yourself. You are so important and amazing, so let me tell you why you should look at yourself as someone who's worth it.

1. There's more to you than you think.

We all see ourselves as something or someone else from time to time. There's always the bad times, and when those times come you just have to look in the mirror and tell yourself "not today", fluff your hair, and walk out the door. You are someone special and important - never forget that.

2. You are beautiful.

Yeah, you. Everyday. Every minute of every day. Never think otherwise. Even in bummy clothes on. Even without makeup. Even if you're not at your best - you are a beautiful person.

3. You are alive.

You're breathing, right? Chances are you are if you're reading this. Time to go out and see things you'd never thought you'd see, or do things you'd never think you'd do. You're alive - and that's literally the best part.

4. You're so strong.

You can get up every day, and at least put some clothes on, or even just get up to eat or drink. Even if you can't do those things and you wake up every day, then good for you. Keep going.

5. Anything is possible.

Literally anything. Anything you want will happen. Anything will happen and it's going to.

6. You're smart.

Definitely smart! Never think anything else ever again! Just because some stuff happened doesn't mean you're not smart. Something just happened. Please carry on, move on, do what you have to.

7. You are you.

You are an amazing creature with the worth of millions of jewels. You can't be brought down, or torn apart. Don't let anyone. You are amazing.

8. Life would be different.

Life would be so different without your beautiful self so stop thinking anything else. You are amazing.

9. Every day is new.

Every day is a new day. So start over if you have to, or keep going. Whatever you need to do you must do for yourself. So do it.

10. Your smile.

That stuff is infectious. People see you smile and they are awestruck. Keep smiling - even if it hurts.

11. You're talented.

In one way or another, you have a talent that is worth everything in the world. Keep it up! You are so talented. No matter what it is, share it. You never know what it could bring.

12. You're loved.

By someone. Anyone. Even me. I love you and I don't even know some of you that are reading this. Hit me up! Not even kidding. You're an amazing human why would anyone not love you?

13. You're unique.

No matter who you are. You're so unique. You're an incredible person and you should know that. No one is like you and no one will be like you.

14. It gets easier.

Life does really get easier. Okay, maybe harder as we grow. But if you're having those bad times it will all go away so soon I promise. Keep your chin up.

15. You decide.

You ultimately decide who you are. I'm just your cheerleader from the sidelines cheering you on. Go ahead. You can do it. Be you.

Now I know that this is all random, but I find people have to be reminded of who they are before they can go and do what they need to or want to. I'm always here as a support for you all reading these articles - so go forth. Keep in touch and flourish, people. You are doing so great. You are amazing.

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.

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:

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.
