I Love Myself And You Should Too

There's nothing wrong with being happy with who you are.

Recently I stumbled upon this from R.H. Sin, "She wanted someone to love and so she fell for herself."

No words have even spoken more powerfully to me.

I'm allowed to love myself. I'm allowed to be happy with my personality and body and though they may not be perfect, I am allowed to love them nonetheless. In today's society it is so hard to actually learn to love yourself. Like so many other people my age, I have struggled with loving who I am. However, I have finally reached a point in my life where I don't need the approval of others to look in the mirror and say, "Yeah, I like that person looking back at me." And even though I may not love myself 24/7, I have come such a long way to not be proud of my self-love. So I decided to take the time and think of a few reasons as to why I love myself and hopefully these will remind you of all of the wonderful reasons you should love yourself too.

1. My nose piercing and tattoo

2. My cheekbones

3. My sarcasm

4. My obsession with lame and corny jokes

5. The slight dimple I have on my left cheek when I smile just the right way

But the point of this isn't for me to share a list of reasons of why I love myself. The point is to encourage you to take the time to do the same about yourself no matter how lame or silly that may seem. Instead of looking at yourself in the mirror and tearing yourself apart, stand tall and build yourself up. You deserve to feel sexy and confident in your own skin and to smile because of it.

Wear what you look and feel good in. Think about what makes you stand out from everyone else and why that makes you such a special person. Do not for a second ever doubt your greatness, because I have no doubt that you are extraordinary.

Never forget to love yourself, because there are few things more important. There is nothing wrong with loving the way your butt looks in those jeans or singing your favorite song even though you know you're off-key. Show yourself off for the kick-ass person you are. Because it's not conceited; there's nothing wrong with being happy with who you are.

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.
