To The Girl Who Thinks She Is Worthless
Sadie Dunne

Hello...Hi...

You probably clicked on the link to read this article because you saw the title.

The first thing I would like to address is that you shouldn't felt the need to have clicked on this because of the title, "An Open Letter to the Girl Who Thinks She is Worthless," because you are nowhere close to worthless. Honestly, I wish you didn't feel like you should have clicked on this article to read it.

How you define it may be different from how I define it. Like I said before, there was a reason you clicked on this, so you probably agree with me somewhat or have similar feelings. To me, self worth is how you see yourself or think of yourself. This mainly comes from your beliefs about yourself. Many of us believe things about ourselves that aren't close to true. These ideas, beliefs, thoughts, or whatever you want to call them can play a huge role in our self-esteem. Now, self-esteem to me is how you consider yourself because of the assumptions you make from your idea of your self worth.

Your self worth is low, but why?

I wish I knew too, I wish I knew where this feeling of "worthless" came from. What I do know is that you do not deserve it. You shouldn't have to believe like you are a burden to others. You shouldn't have to believe that you need to hurt yourself. You shouldn't have to believe that you have nothing to look forward to. You shouldn't have to believe in the feelings of hate about yourself. You shouldn't have to believe you're sad. You shouldn't have to believe you are defeated. You shouldn't have to believe you are deprived. Most of all, you shouldn't have to believe you are worthless.

I want you to remember that you are not worthless.

You are worth so much more than you think you are. You are an amazing person inside and outside. You deserve the absolute best, and if you haven't received the best so far, it is still yet to come. You are beautiful, and you do not need to listen to other people if they tell you otherwise. You have a smile that lights up a room. You make a difference and you don't even realize it. You have a huge impact on people, those you may not even know.

All of this makes you worth something. The small things you may not even recognize make you worth so much more than you think. I wish your self worth wasn't low because you are more than deserving of a high one. I understand why you don't though, and I would love if you could somehow see it from what I've addressed.

My hope is for you to be able to take my advice and believe that you're not worthless. There are so many positive aspects of you, that makes you who you are.

And if I can't take my own advice, I hope that you can.

Sincerely, just another girl who feels worthless.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
