To My Ladies: You Are Enough

You are worth more than the size of your waist, the color of your hair, or the pigment of your skin.

Welcome to the 21st century. Twitter, Snapchat, and Instagram dominate our lives.

Pictures of beautiful women with seemingly flawless bodies fill our explore pages. Videos of talented singers and dancers pop up on our screens as we scroll through our Twitter feed. Countless girl's standing at just the right angle to get that perfect selfie for their Snapchat stories.

These are just a few of the things that we experience that make us feel inferior to other women around us. Body and self-confidence issues are things all women experience, now what you do with those experiences is what truly makes the difference.

The first step in realizing you are enough and not worrying about things.

Take Matthew 6:25-27, " Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can anyone of you by worrying add a single hour to your life."

This verse outlines a mindset everyone needs to have. By understanding that the Lord has a plan for us that is so perfect and elaborate, many of the anxieties caused by comparison will be lifted off of our shoulders. By realizing that, you instantly can become a much more confident and carefree person.

Self-worth is a tricky subject. A lot of people feel they are not worthy of love or friendships when in reality, you are worth so much more than that.

You are created in such a unique and beautiful way. No one on this earth looks like you, talks like you, or thinks like you. That's pretty amazing when you think about it.

A lot of times we get caught looking for our self-worth in the wrong places. These places can be things like social media likes or boys or even our friends.

Most of the time, we cant find ourselves and our worth in those places so we are left feeling worthless. Striving to find our worth in earthly things is not going to satisfy that desire.

You are worth more than the size of your waist or the color of your hair or the pigment of your skin. You are wonderfully and beautifully made and no one can take that way from you.

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.
