Insecurities fill my mind all the time. The anxiety of not being good enough is something that I struggle with daily. I know I am not the only person who feels this way so here are a few things to remember when you feel that you aren’t good enough.

You are good enough

I know you hear this all the time. Every time you tell a friend that you feel this way that is the first thing they say. But if so many people say it, why don’t you start to believe it? When insecurities get the best of you it’s hard to believe it when anybody tells you that you are good enough. But you are good enough although you may not believe it.

You are more than your insecurities

It may feel like your insecurities run your life, but you are so much more than that. You are a smiling face that adds to the world. Even though it may seem like you are everything you worry about, most of the time you are not. You are a better friend, girlfriend or boyfriend, daughter or son and mom or dad than you think.

Other people’s opinions do not matter

You are who you are, not what others label you to be. You are more than your GPA or the president of your sorority. You are a person with feelings and what others think of that should not affect who you are. When negativity is coming at you from several people in your life it may seem as though other’s opinions matter but they DON’T! The only opinion that should matter to you is your own, so do not allow other people’s opinions to change the way your form yours, know that you are who you are meant to be and nobody else can change that.

There are people who love you

Feeling alone is one of the worst things a person can feel. Feeling like you have nobody to turn to or talk to can really hurt someone to the core. I know because I have been there, and it really is not a fun place to be. Just know that you have people that love you, one of them being me! There are people around you who will show you love if you give them the chance and even though it may not seem like that all the time somebody loves you.

You are a priority

In someone’s life, you are a priority. Somebody would choose you over something else and even though you may not feel worthy of that, you are. You may feel low in the totem pole of importance but to someone, somewhere you are not. Even though you feel low on the totem pole, you are not absolute last. Whether it is the person who shared this to you, or your parents, or friends somebody out there is rooting for you and would choose you.

Life can really get to you sometimes but all you have to remember are some of the things listed above. When you begin to think that nobody loves you, just know that is not possible because I love you, because everyone deserves to be loved.

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.
