Four Motivational Reads For Every Twenty Something College Girl

Four Motivational Reads For Every Twenty Something College Girl

In This Article:

Here are four of my favorite feel good, soul food, motivational books that every college girl should read! The authors of these books are incredible, badass women who I see as such positive role models for what it means to be a girl boss in all that you do.

1. Own Your Everyday by Jordan Lee Dooley

Jordan Lee Dooley

Okay, Jordan Lee Dooley is the absolutely definition of a girl boss. This woman has taken what it means to be an entrepreneur and go getter and encompassed into a career and lifestyle. I think sometimes the female figures we look up to often feel so distant and their goals can seem unattainable like, how could I ever do that? Jordan's story is so relatable and left me feeling ready to take on my passions in a whole new way. She just opened up an online course called Own It Academy, as extension of her book among other projects, so check out what she's up to on her Instagram.

2. Girl, Wash Your Face by Rachel Hollis

Girl, Wash Your Face: Stop Believing the Lies About Who You Are So You Can Become Who You Were Meant to Be is AMAZING. You could pick up this book and read a few pages here and there, and it just really helps put things into perspective as a busy college girl and remind you of just how important self care is. Rachel Hollis is a motivational speaker and total badass with podcasts and much more, and even a second book, Girl Stop Apologizing, that I can't wait to read.

3. Becoming by Michelle Obama

Michelle Obama's memoir Becoming is inspirational in so many ways, as she tells her story from her childhood all the way to her time in the White House. This book is about so much more than politics and Michelle's story is a great example of just how far hard work and a great attitude can get you in life.

4. You Are A Badass by Jen Sincero

Jen Sincero is an incredible life-coach known for her ability to talk about self-help in a hilarious and upfront manner. You Are A Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life, is a self help book with everything from inspiring stories to simple day to day life tips, that is really made with the young college girl in mind. Sincero addresses the self doubt that many of us face every day and provides real life advice on how to turn things around and live life to the fullest, like an absolute badass.

I hope you read one of these on a chilly day and feel empowered to make your mark on the world as a college gal!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
