So many times we are caught up in school, practice, work, clubs and just trying to get through the day we forget to check in with the people who want to see us succeed. The least that you can do is set aside 10 or 15 minutes to fill them in on the things going on in your life or how classes are going. Just catch up with them. 

Are you judging someone’s latest Facebook post? Are you watching a Vine compilation? Are you reading the comments section to see people argue?

It’s easy to become a walking apology when you are aware that something in your life might not be 100 percent. Whether it be appearance or you might be  insecure about things.

Over the last few days I have noticed a rise in supporting body acceptance on social media. Influencers on Instagram are posting “bare face” photos with captions supporting their natural look. I see some of my friends postings photos of them just waking up with captions like “I woke up like this #flawless.” 

After seeing so many people follow this trend that seems to fluctuate throughout the year, I decided to comment on it as well.

Since school has started I’ve been able to catch up with my friends and finally get back into my routine. But with routine and school somewhat under control, there seems to be drama trickling in.
