We Are All People Pleasers When We Should Be 'Myself' Pleasers

When we wear an outfit and someone says it looks bad, we immediately take it off right? When we want to get a tattoo and someone says that it looks trashy, we worry about that right? When we want to go out and have a good time with our pals and someone says that it's trashy also, we worry about that too am I right?

Well, my question is, why are we trying to please everyone else? Where are their opinions going to get us? Stop worrying about whether or not another person is going to think badly!

If they aren't paying your bills or getting you into Heaven, then why worry about it?

No, I'm not saying that you need to say screw what anyone else has to say. I'm just saying stop worrying about what people are going to think about the new tattoo you just got or the "ugly" outfit you just bought or even something as simple as a new pair of earrings. In my opinion, there is no one on this Earth that is going to get you into Heaven. So why spend your whole life trying to please them?

God, in my opinion, is the only one that can judge you and your life choices. He is the one that you answer to and He is the one you need to be concerned with. Not anyone else's opinions.

I'm not saying if you have an outfit on that actually looks like a trash bag, and someone says that it's ugly, don't necessarily disregard that but what I'm saying is, If what you're doing isn't hurting you or anyone else then who cares about what people think? You are on this Earth for a very short time and it's important to be YOU. God made you the way he wanted to make you so don't act like someone you are not because of a tiny little opinion. You are you and that's who you need to be.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

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.
