You Are Enough

Stop trying to be the second class version of someone else and be the first class version of yourself.

You Are Enough
Georgia Kate Crawford

To the girl who looks in the mirror and her eyes go straight to her flaws. To the boy who feels like he isn't cool enough because he's not athletic. To anyone who just feels worthless. You ARE enough!

You are good enough in so many ways and you should never forget it. You were meant to be here on Earth for some reason. You matter. You are enough.

Don't listen to what your mind is telling you. How you need to be this, do that, look a certain way, or whatever it may be. Love yourself for who you are because that is the way God made you. Don't look in the mirror constantly judging yourself and comparing yourself to others.

They say you should treat others the way you would want to be treated, but I say you should treat yourself the way you would want others to treat you. You are one of a kind and only you can be the best version of yourself. So stop judging yourself and trying to be the second version of someone else.

For some, confidence comes easily, but for others, it's hard for them to see their worth. That's nothing to be ashamed of because our good Lord recognizes our talents, abilities, and self-worth. He is constantly reminding us how loved we are by Him and others, we just have to realize it and believe it's true. Because it is. You ARE enough!!

Never forget:

"Your beauty should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit which is of great worth in God's sight." -1 Peter 3:4

"You are loved more than you will ever know by someone who died to know you." -Romans 3:5

"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." -Isaiah 41:10

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.
