Body Issues

I feel like a lot of people go through issues with their body and I do day to day

Body Issues

Every day is something different. I will be on top of the world one day and happy about myself but as soon as aI slip up I act like the world is going to end because I had Ice-cream or the mirror isn't flattering. I would tell myself that I wasn't good enough, and with that doubt, in mind, I would stop eating healthy and good meals and just continue to spend money and eat out because what was the point of trying if after this one time I thought I didn't look "good." Well, news flash I am dumb and had a wake-up call with myself.

You are worth so much more than what the number is on the scale. I made a promise to myself to try and not look at the scale, don't worry about the number there, the only thing that truly matters is when I look in the mirror and if I am happy with myself. I know when I feel good with myself, I like working out, I don't enjoy sitting in my bed all day because I just feel myself not being happy and when I get stressed out I stress eat or stress snack is what I call it and then with the bad eating comes the breakouts on my face.

Nobody likes breakouts on their face, well nobody that I know anyway. It's one of the things that annoy me, I can always feel when they are coming and I try to do everything to avoid it. My face is going to break out and I have come to that. I am going to have stressful days, I am in college and I have come to that conclusion. I can not control everything that is thrown my way but I do know the way I handle things is in my control and I have developed habits that change my attitude towards things.

Being a negative Nancy about everything will not help you and nobody will want to help you. You need to get off your butt, wipe off the hot Cheeto dust (if you know me you know why this is funny ) and pull yourself together. Laying around doing nothing is not helping you get anywhere with your life and as good as a Wendy's burger might sound, you have to switch it up and eat something better at home that you can make yourself.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
