To the Girl Who Feels Like She's Not Good Enough

Today I am writing this piece for you, the girl who has been told that she is not good enough, by whoever it may be. I want to start off by saying, I am sorry that anyone has ever told you that you are not enough in this world because guess what? YOU ARE! You are more than enough because you add something to the world that no one else can.

Unfortunately, I have too been in your shoes before, and I know the feeling sucks-- plain and simple. You, somehow, let what one person thinks of you ruin your entire day. Trust me, I've been there too many times to count. However, today, I want to write this to help you snap out of that mindset and hopefully help you begin believing that YOU ARE ENOUGH. No one should ever have that power over you to tell you otherwise.

First of all, me simply telling you that you are good enough for this world is not going to cure you all by itself and change your mindset. I wish it would, but unfortunately, my words can only do so much. I also want to send you a virtual hug right now because hugs make the world a better place and you deserve one.

However, in order for you to truly know that you are a good person in our society and as a whole, you have to BELIEVE it 110%. Your friends, family, or even random strangers may tell you that you are a good person and have an amazing soul, but that means nothing if you do not feel the same way.

Sometimes, I will have those random days where I don't feel good enough as a person, friend, or even daughter, but I have to remember that I am the only one who has control of my thoughts. So this is where my words of wisdom come in; when you catch yourself starting to think negatively about yourself, recognize it and change your mindset as soon as you feel it.

Try to focus on the things that you love about yourself instead of tricking your mind into thinking you still aren't good enough by focusing on the negative, because like I said, you are plenty good enough, love.

So, to the girl reading this right now who has been told she is not good enough at one point or another, I hope you take something from this. I know, it may not be much, but I just want you to know that you are not alone. I bet that almost every girl out there has felt this way before, and guess what, they overcame it because they are still living their lives and are stronger because of it.

Whoever told you that you were not good enough, or made you feel that way, does not deserve a place in your life either. You are a special, one-of-a-kind, beautiful soul that deserves to be treated kindly. The person/people who made you feel less than what you are are actually the ones who are not good enough for you! Always remember that and always stay true to yourself.

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.
