You Are Good Enough

I am enough and so are you.

You Are Good Enough

Whatever you aspire to be, and whatever you strive to be, you are good enough to achieve it. As someone who has been told relentlessly that I am just short of good enough, I am here to say enough is enough.

You are good enough, in fact you are more than enough. You may not feel as though you are, but you are.

Regardless of what you think, you are smart enough, pretty enough, talented enough, strong enough, and so much more.

Throughout the last few years, college has taught me that no matter what I go through, I will never feel good enough for others if I do not feel good about myself. As someone who feels annoying, overbearing, and sensitive, I have to constantly remind myself that I am not.

You should feel good enough for you, and that is all that matters. Living your life to the fullest, living happily, these are all things that make you good enough for yourself.

I believe that everything happens for a reason. People coming in and out of your life are a part of your path. Every situation is a learning experience. We cannot control everything that goes on, but no one can. You are good enough; better than you could ever believe.

We tend to focus on the negatives rather than the positives. We pick out our flaws no matter how small. Often times, we are too critical of ourselves. We need to put ourselves in a better light. We need to dissolve our insecurities because they are what makes us look at ourselves differently.

After years of others knocking me down, it seems almost impossible not to say hurtful things to myself.

Although this may be the case, I am still trying to improve my mindset. I'm going to stop caring what others think of me and live my life for me. All of you should do the same because life is too short to be focused on everyone else's perception of you.

The only person's opinion about you that should matter is your opinion of you.

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.
