5 Quotes from 'The Slumflower' That Will Change Your Perspective On Life
Time Out

Chidera Eggerue, also known as 'The Slumflower,' is a London-based activist focused on teaching young women and girls independence. Through her inspiring work, she focuses mostly on self-confidence, originality, and self-love. Her ideas will boost your confidence and change your perspective on life, confidence, and beauty as a woman. Here are her top 5 life-changing quotes.

1. "You are valuable."

Self-worth is really important and many women struggle with this concept. The Slumflower is all about discussing self-worth and the importance of loving yourself as much as you love others.

2. "Your solace lies in your solitude."

Peace within is very important for women according to Chidera. Never forget that your well-being is just as important as someone else's. And it is okay to be alone.

3. "You are magnificent."

Probably one of the hardest "battles" for women today is the struggle to love oneself. Chidera is constantly offering thoughtful advice on this issue. Her passion for encouraging women to love every part of themselves is inspiring and makes me want to speak out about the same things. Always, always, always love yourself first.

4. "Perfection is overrated."

"Rejection is an opportunity for self-acceptance."

"You have to get it wrong to get it right."

"May you learn how to behave when your blessings choose you."

Just remember, nobody is perfect. Just be yourself.

5. "Be very stubborn and unpredictable."

As you can tell, Chidera is all about promoting self-worth and the importance of fitting into your own skin. She stresses the importance of women being unique in all of their life experiences, whether those are personal or business related.

If you couldn't tell already, The Slumflower is all about encouraging young women to flourish and prosper in a social and political environment where these goals aren't valued (specifically for women). You can probably also tell that Chidera is on her way to changing the world. If you love yourself and urge others to do the same, you just might change it too.

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.
