15 things to remember:
1. that thing you did that was kind of embarrassing and weird, everyone else forgot about that already
2. you look fine today, if you can’t notice something on your face standing 6 feet from a mirror then nobody else will either.
3. social lives can go through cycles sometimes, if you feel like your friends are all ignoring you for no reason they’re probably just busy with other things.
4. if you can’t stop thinking about someone or something, read a book, paint your nails or watch a movie. it won’t solve any serious problems but you will feel better.
5. listen with the intent to understand, not the intent to reply.
6. if you want something, go get it.
7. drink lots of water, eat lots of fruit, exercise more, go outside, get enough sleep and think positive thoughts.
8. if you don’t ask, the answer will always be no.
9. throw away the idea of a perfect tomorrow and live in the moment.
10. stop comparing yourself to others.
11. a beautiful day begins with a beautiful mindset. It’s a privilege to simply be alive and healthy. Start acting like life is a blessing.
12. act the way you’d like to be and soon you’ll be the way you’d like to act.
13. you will change. You’re not the same person you were three years ago. you’re not even the same person you were three minutes ago and that’s okay. especially if you don’t like the person you were three minutes ago.
14. you don’t have to open the curtains if you don’t want to.
15. being happy is the most important thing.

Watch: Michelle Obama’s interview with Oprah finally aired and it was everything you could possibly want from two amazing women talking about power
Here she is, for example, discussing how she’s ready to assist Melania Trump. Remember, Melania famously read a speech plagiarized from Michelle. As always, she’s the model of generosity of spirit and self-possession. Michelle is literally so centered that she slept on Election Night without knowing the outcome.

Even in death you cannot respect a woman enough to use her name. How disgusting.
Jesus fucking Christ. She was a real life WARRIOR and the only thing these people value is her physical aesthetic. You have got to be fucking kidding me.
I cannot fucking believe this, she was a 19-year-old Kurdish woman with a name. NINETEEN-fucking-years-old and she led an all-female battalion against known ISIS groups in Syria, and they comment on her appearance before her rank, her age and don’t even use her fucking name? RIP Asia Ramazan Antar, you will be remembered.
So disrespectful.
RIP Asia Ramazan Antar, you will be remembered.

It doesn’t matter how many books you can read in short time, what matters is that you read and you love it.
3.4.15 - 14.46 // working on research papers always makes my study space a big mess, with pens and sticky notes scattered all over my desk and piles of books surrounding me. I’m a bit behind on my own schedule, but given that my professor has given the entire class an extension of one day, I think I’m going to be okay.
