"Eat good, look good, feel good." -Unknown. Looking good is all about how good you feel. In order to feel and look my best, I allow each of these 8 things to guide me.

1. Eat a Nutritious Breakfast

"Breakfast is the most important meal of day!" ... I'm sure you've heard this one before, but it is true. Eat something that is both delicious and nutritious. This could be oatmeal and your favorite fruit! You need to also drink plenty of water. Not only will this deliver oxygen throughout your body, but it will also boost your skin health. It is important to drink water all throughout the day.

2. Work Out

Complete a workout that is best for your mind and body. For some this could be a long walk and for others it could be a spin class. As you exercise, endorphins are released. These endorphins trigger a positive feeling in your body, which leave you feeling way better than you did before your work out.

3. Take Your Time in the Shower

Don't rush yourself. Give yourself time to relax and clear your mind. If shaving is something you do, then shave! Nothing makes me feel more confident than soft, silky legs.

4. Get a Haircut

Haircuts are the perfect time for change (be adventurous). Wether you just want a blow out or a whole new style, walk out of the salon feeling bold and sassy. Plus, it is always fun to just be pampered.

5. Do a Face Mask

This does not mean you have to go out and spend $60 on a facial. At target there are many different face masks for just a couple of bucks. Select what kind of treatment you want, put it on, and allow it to leave you glowing and smiling.

6. Whiten Your Teeth

This step definitely is not as important, but it is great way for me personally to get myself feeling the best. You can buy whitening strips at any drug store or make a paste at home using baking soda. For some of you, this step could be a pore strip or painting your nails. Do whatever makes you feel beautiful!

7. Listen to Your Favorite Music

Music is proven to increase happiness AND you can listen to it while you are doing each of these things. For me, music is a must have while working out and getting ready. Turn on that LIZZO and get to dancing.

8. Dress Up and Go Out

Give yourself time to get ready. Put on an outfit that makes you feel confident, express yourself through your makeup (glitter is always an option), and be unapologetically you. Go out and doing something fun wether you're riding solo, with a date, or simply with your best friends!

Feeling confident on the outside is all about how you feel on the inside. Self care is important for being your best self. Don't feel selfish for spending extra time and care solely on you.

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

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.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

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

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

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

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
