Four Motivational Reads For Every Twenty Something College Girl

October is well under way, the crisp fall air has arrived, and the leaves are beginning to change. This is my favorite month of the year, not only for the sweater weather and all things pumpkin flavored, but that it's finally chilly enough to curl up with a good book!

Four Motivational Reads For Every Twenty Something College Girl

Here are four of my favorite feel good, soul food, motivational books that every college girl should read! The authors of these books are incredible, badass women who I see as such positive role models for what it means to be a girl boss in all that you do.

1. Own Your Everyday by Jordan Lee Dooley

Jordan Lee Dooley

Okay, Jordan Lee Dooley is the absolutely definition of a girl boss. This woman has taken what it means to be an entrepreneur and go getter and encompassed into a career and lifestyle. I think sometimes the female figures we look up to often feel so distant and their goals can seem unattainable like, how could I ever do that? Jordan's story is so relatable and left me feeling ready to take on my passions in a whole new way. She just opened up an online course called Own It Academy, as extension of her book among other projects, so check out what she's up to on her Instagram.

2. Girl, Wash Your Face by Rachel Hollis

Girl, Wash Your Face: Stop Believing the Lies About Who You Are So You Can Become Who You Were Meant to Be is AMAZING. You could pick up this book and read a few pages here and there, and it just really helps put things into perspective as a busy college girl and remind you of just how important self care is. Rachel Hollis is a motivational speaker and total badass with podcasts and much more, and even a second book, Girl Stop Apologizing, that I can't wait to read.

3. Becoming by Michelle Obama

Michelle Obama's memoir Becoming is inspirational in so many ways, as she tells her story from her childhood all the way to her time in the White House. This book is about so much more than politics and Michelle's story is a great example of just how far hard work and a great attitude can get you in life.

4. You Are A Badass by Jen Sincero

Jen Sincero is an incredible life-coach known for her ability to talk about self-help in a hilarious and upfront manner. You Are A Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life, is a self help book with everything from inspiring stories to simple day to day life tips, that is really made with the young college girl in mind. Sincero addresses the self doubt that many of us face every day and provides real life advice on how to turn things around and live life to the fullest, like an absolute badass.

I hope you read one of these on a chilly day and feel empowered to make your mark on the world as a college gal!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.
