Self-Improvement

A few years ago, I embarked on a trip abroad to “find myself.” I felt stuck, bored, but most importantly lost. Then I stepped onboard that plane to Europe and three months later returned with a newfound happiness and confidence. I was certain in who I was and who I…

Every single one of us harbors insecurities, whether they have to do with our looks, our interests, our actions, or our mere associations—it’s a part of being human. But some of us allow these insecurities, this self-doubt to fester and completely rule our lives… and that’s when it becomes harmful….

The past few days, my dad has been telling me to have more patience. He’s a slower moving individual (both physically and mentally), as he’s reached his late 70’s, and finds my fast pace incredibly annoying as well as exhausting. And I, of course, hold the opposite to be true—always…

It’s great to get into a comfortable, reliable routine—but it’s also important that you step outside of your comfort zone and challenge yourself every now and then! I understand that it’s scary… but it’s also rewarding and more than worth the risk. Don’t worry, you don’t have to go skydiving…

Oftentimes, we allow stress and anxiety to completely overtake us. We surrender to it and suffer from it—without even putting up a fight—because we’ve convinced ourselves that there’s no other option. But that just couldn’t be farther from the truth. In addition to counseling, there are a multitude of simple…

There’s nothing wrong with being introverted—in fact, spending time alone and learning to embrace your solitude can be incredible beneficial. Doing so allows you to recharge, cater to your individual needs, and focus on your wellbeing. However, it’s also important to break out of your cocoon and spend time with…

I love my alone time—I just can’t get enough of it. But that’s not the case for everybody. Some people (social butterflies, I’m looking at you) prefer to have constant company and do everything in their power to ensure a companion is by their side. For these extroverted individuals, words…

The coming of the new year elicits a wide range of emotions: excitement, anxiety, relief, apprehension, happiness, and even fear. Some of us are ready to embark on a new journey and leave the past behind, while others aren’t so sure about what lies ahead. Whatever the case, we could…

When asked my biggest flaw, the first thing that comes to mind (if I’m being honest) is my indecisiveness. This issue dates back to when I was just a little kid. I experienced extreme distress over choosing between the chicken nuggets or the mac & cheese and could never pick…

Life’s hard—that is a fact. We all struggle from time to time, whether it be at work, in our relationships, or in our own compact minds. We get off course, can’t figure out which way’s up, and scramble for something to keep us afloat. Sometimes, however, all we really need…

When I got into my dream school, I was over the moon. It was the perfect campus, the perfect community, even the perfect distance away from home. But my dad had one concern: the drive. The bulk of it was spent on a highway infamous for tractor trailer congestion, which…

The Houston Astros are officially 2017 World Series champions after winning game seven in Los Angeles. It was probably one of the greatest World Series ever played and it had so many amazing and inspiring comebacks, which is why we were compelled to make this photo gallery. Congratulations to the…
