There's always a point in time in a girl's life where she may need a reminder on how important she is. Whether it's because of conflicts at her job, an abusive relationship, family issues, etc., a girl should always be reminded about the grace and class she holds within. Here are a few reminders to all my ladies.

1. You come first.

Ladies no matter what he tells you or whatever conflict you are in, you always come first. Never push your dignity aside for the happiness of others. Loving yourself and making yourself your priority is one of the most beautiful things you could ever do in your life. This shows that you not only value yourself, but you have the ability to value others because you can't love another without having love for you.


2. Always bring out your inner Beyoncé.

Beyoncé is one of my favorite artists due to the messages of women empowerment in her songs. If at any point you feel less or walked over, always say to yourself, "I shouldn't have to stress over anything because I'm as flawless as Beyoncé." Channel the confidence, grace, and poise Beyoncé has into your stresses and you'll see how easily things will get better.

3. Aim higher.

As human beings, it's natural for us to want to give up at times. Don't. Never settle for less. You're getting too comfortable at your job? Aim higher. Not making enough to cover the bills? Aim higher. Settling for less is the same as betraying your potential.

4. Take care of yourself.

While the grind may never stop, have some time for yourself every once in a while. Take a trip to the spa. Schedule a mani and pedi. Go out with the girls and leave your phone at home. Always make time for yourself because no one else will.

Keep these in mind and you'll have a fierce 2017.

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.
