When You Look Your Best You Do Your Best, In College AND In Life

You owe it to yourself to put your best foot forward.

When you look put together you feel put together, it's as simple as that.

There's a reason you don't show up to a job interview looking like you just rolled out of bed because if you did you wouldn't be putting your best foot forward.

When you're a college student the last thing you want to do is wake up any earlier than you have to. Let alone wake up earlier just so you can get ready and look nice to sit in a lecture for three hours.

But I think you should give it a try.

If you get up a few minutes earlier and spend some time preparing yourself for the day you'll feel so much more awake once you get to class and be so much more confident in yourself.

Having confidence in yourself allows you to do your best. When you're confident nothing is holding you back from putting yourself out there and taking advantage of every opportunity that comes your way.

Most job establishments require their employees to look professional at work, for the same reasons professors ask students to dress up on presentation day; when you look the part people automatically take you more seriously.

Some people get upset about this and stress that physical appearance shouldn't be what we are judged on. While I agree with them, that how we look on the outside doesn't always reflect who we are on the inside, I understand that people's first judgments are based on what they see.

But when you feel good about what you're wearing you're more likely to focus on what you're doing, and not the fact that you're wearing sweats in front of the whole class when your professor asks you to solve a problem on the board.

I know that I'm my most confident self when I feel put together, so I will gladly set my alarm 30 minutes earlier and force myself out of bed if it means that I will feel ready to take on the day.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
