Do Not Define Yourself By How Much Male Attention You Receive
Nicolle Majette

I get it, it's pretty flattering any time a guy comes up to you and offers you a compliment. The "you're beautiful"s and the "you look nice"s are sure to put a smile on any girl's face. It's especially nice to see men being respectful to women and boosting their confidence. However, sometimes we get too caught up in the attention and let it get to our heads.

Ladies, please do not let a man define your worth.

You do not need a man to know who you are, and what you are capable of!

I see that a lot of women crave male attention because it makes them feel good about themselves, which is valid, however, you do not need a man to be that constant supply of happiness.

It's 2019 and we need to start making our own waves. Stop seeking approval from men, stop excessively craving male attention because it's not worth your time sis.

I understand that we're all human, and we've most likely all felt this way at some point or another. But if we continue to define ourselves by the attention we receive from men, we will not learn how to appreciate our true self-worth.

It must get tiring constantly worrying about which guy didn't text you back, what guy gave you a compliment, who asked you out, and who didn't. Ladies, it is not worth it. Focus on yourself for once, and ask yourself: 1.) Why am I doing this? 2.) Is this going to make me better? 3.) Is this going to make me happy? 4.) How is it going to improve me or the quality of my life?

Instead of getting caught up in all of the attention, take a journey to discover yourself. Read some books, practice yoga, write in your journal, practice mindfulness, do whatever you need to do to be the woman you want to be.

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.
