You are worthy of self-love, simply because you exist.

Little Reasons Behind Why You Are More Than Enough
Gina Capone

To the girl who feels like she is never enough,

enough for herself,

or enough for the world,

you are overflowing with everything and more.


I want you to know that,

you are never in solitary, although

this world may make you feel

small.


But you are towering over mountains,

dictating the tides.

Giving the sun a purpose,

and the stars a reason to shine.


Yes, this world is big,

sometimes even scary.

But full of endless opportunities,

of which you are worthy.

Please have the confidence to soar.


I promise you,

you are more

than enough, more than valuable,

more than you could ever dream to be.


Enough already, stop.

The thoughts in your head are mistaken.

They want you to feel insignificant,

worthless, maybe even barren.


Those are not words that describe you.

Erase them from your vocabulary.

You are many things,

but those harsh words are untrue.


Ask yourself.

If the words you say about yourself,

were the words you said to someone you love,

would that person be happy?


Be kind to not only others,

but to yourself too.

Words are powerful,

and so are you.


You are intimidating,

and the ones around you,

who try to dull your spark,

are nothing but green with envy.

But you, my friend, have gold in your heart.


So, the next time you feel

that you are negligible, hollow, trivial,

replace those thoughts with the words:

Delightful, captivating, enchanting.


Sweet girl, if you only saw,

the way they looked at you,

or how your eyes light up when you smile.

Maybe then you'd believe you had them in awe.


You are worthy of love.

because you simply exist.

No further explanation,

or reason for a list.


Everyone around you knows,

“more than enough”.

Does not do the essence of your beauty,

the slightest bit of Justice.


But if you need a constant reminder,

for how the world needs you.

Write it on a piece of paper,

Or maybe in a tattoo.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
