Listen up. This bs needs to stop.

Stop looking at yourself and comparing who you are to the people standing around you. Friendships should not be competitions. Friendships should not be a comparison battle. If you completed these 5 things, that's awesome!

Although I might haven't completed the same things, I am not going to hate you or envy you for your accomplishments.

We are all put on this universe to achieve different goals and experience different happenings. Us woman should not be bashing, putting down, or envying another woman due to their success and happiness.

If anything, other women's' successes should motivate us to work harder on ourselves while still feeling humble and satisfied with who we are as a person.

Personal satisfaction is a huge characteristic to have in order to be mental, emotional, and spiritually happy. The basis of being happy with ourselves stems from the thinking processes that ensue in our mind. If we do not have strong mental building blocks for ourselves then we simply cannot improve or reach full potential.

Achieving full potential occurs when you have forgiven yourself for all of your mistakes, accepted your life and the things you cannot control, and allowed yourself to be happy while being alone.

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.
