If you're reading this And Get the 2:30 a.m. 'u up?' Messages, you should dump him

Why is it we think someone "has it all" when they have a boyfriend?

I'm just kidding, but I caught your attention, right?

I think I have cracked the code.

I am about to be a junior in college and have been through my fair share of frat boys. Lucky me, right? After every single ending, I sat back and asked myself, "What did I do wrong?" To be completely honest, it wasn't until a few weeks ago that I finally woke up, looked in the mirror, and realized I wasn't the problem at all.

It has taken loads of self-confidence to get to this point, but before you think I'm cocky, just read my article and then you can decide for yourself, deal?

After a breakup, it's easy to think that your life is over and all of your confidence that had been built up over the past few years is lost.

While I attempted to mend my heart, I found myself going for guys that I knew were just complete and total jerks. This is what I believe to be an epidemic at my school because this happens to so many girls. I think girls my age, including myself, forget just how much power we have. We must remember that men are natural born hunters, and if they want us, they'll show it in a more meaningful way than just by texting us at 2:30 a.m. saying, "U up?"

Once we realize our value and true inner beauty, we will realize that a boy and the attention of a boy are not what we need to feel whole. Boys should be our accessory, and it is easy to forget that.

Obviously, it's so much fun to have a boyfriend, and I would never encourage someone to break up with a guy that is awesome to them. All I am saying is by being only 20-years-old, I have found that these are some of the few selfish years that we have, so why spend them obsessing over a boy that doesn't give you half of what you deserve?

I have found that the best things come to those who don't seek. SO, if you are reading this and feel incomplete because you don't have a boyfriend, snap out of it. You don't need one. No one is you, and that is your power. Women are incredible, and when you have a team of women, you're unstoppable.

I think this moment for me right now is all about having fun with my girlfriends and figuring out who I really am, trying different foods, testing my own limits, and becoming a better me.

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.
