4 Reasons To Not To Be Afraid Of Your Strength

First off, anyone who has ever told you not to get too muscular needs to be weeded out of your life because you don't need that negativity. Seriously, it's hard enough at times to get the motivation when all you want to do is get some extra hours of sleep. In the world we live in today there is a lot of hate, therefore you need to do your best to surround yourself with as much happiness and positivity as you can. Here's four ways to becoming strong, in every sense of the word.

1. Be Unique.

Women aren't supposed to be "muscular" or " strong willed". Why you ask? I'll tell you why, because it's scary. A women who is determined and has a passionate goal can be unstoppable. There are so many different body types out there and if I can give any advice to any women it would be to be unique. If being muscular is what you want to be then be it. Chase that dream.

2. Don't be afraid to be strong.

In any form, whether that be mental or physical, don't be afraid to be strong. Work hard to reach your goals and don't allow anyone tell you that it's unattractive to have muscles. So do your squats, run those miles, and smile while doing it all.

3. Stand up for yourself.

If you are proud of yourself and work hard, then stand up for that. There is nothing wrong with being proud of yourself whether you're on day 1 or day 100. Don't stop, don't give up, keep going. There will be people who try to change you or vere off that path. Keep going.

4. Don't listen to anyone who tells you you're too muscular.

You've worked your butt off for a while and earned every ounce of muscle you have. Embrace it all and keep going. Anyone who doesn't let you be you shouldn't be in your life anyways. It's hard to be what everyone wants you to be so screw that and be everything you want to be.

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.
