I get so easily stressed, honestly I laugh at myself out of stress way more than out of confidence. It's okay to be self conscious, but you're right, when it comes down to it, it's because of pride. We hate making fools of ourselves and thinking that others might not like things about ourselves. It's hard to let that go! So you're totally not alone :)<br /><br />Yes I love that quote, it is so darn true! <br /><br />YES! Oh I love what you said about are life not being a waste if we're living for Christ. That is so so true. <br /><br />Thanks for the comment <3 Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05774981330553330773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136833786206399444.post-64654787886669300372016-12-23T15:53:35.034-08:002016-12-23T15:53:35.034-08:00YAY!

I'm so thankful you shared your story with me, that's exactly what I mean. Wear that bright yellow dress and beard with pride ;) <br />I totally agree with being yourself. I worry about things way too often, but more often than not, a week later everything is fine. High school is such a small portion of our lives and we shouldn't let it control how we act. <br />and yes yes make time for yourself, but also don't be like me and lock yourself in your house and ignore people for weeks, because then you start loosing friends xD<br />Pray and laugh every day, I need that on my wall <3Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05774981330553330773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136833786206399444.post-33586293170557494612016-12-23T15:48:20.762-08:002016-12-23T15:48:20.762-08:00Hahaha yay!! <3

You have some good advice here. To be honest, number one still is a problem with me. It comes down to being self-conscious, and how on earth do you stop being self-conscious??? In the past years I've gotten a lot better, but when I was in highschool I was soooooo painfully self-conscious. Scratch that, if people could see inside my brain right now, they'd probably still wonder how I could be any more self-conscious than I am now. :P I guess it really helps if you go down the rabbit hole and find the heart of the issue which, I think, is selfishness and pride...<br /><br />I love what you say about separating yourself/identity from your work. It really is so true. I've always loved the quote, "Everybody is a genius, but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it is stupid." <br /><br />I try to keep reminding myself that as long as God is first and foremost in your life, your life won't be wasted, and it won't be a failure. Other people might see it as that, but what they think doesn't matter. If you are a Christian, you live your life with the audience of One. If all else falls apart or just isn't working, and you've invested yourself whole-heartedly into a relationship with Jesus, then nothing is wasted. Lots of times I see people around my age complaining about how college is going or life in general and how they keep getting hit with problem after problem. Sure, there are lots of things they can't control, but they aren't even doing the one thing they can do - pursue God with all their heart and soul. <br /><br />Anyways, excellent post! :)Meaghan Rutherfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17144939103660147492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136833786206399444.post-58012389883227771312016-12-17T22:12:12.688-08:002016-12-17T22:12:12.688-08:00AHHH yes. 1000% agree with these. *Especially* the...AHHH yes. 1000% agree with these. *Especially* the part about not letting grades define you and being able to laugh at yourself. Both of those lessons I learned my junior/senior years of high school. I failed my first test in AB calculus my junior year, and failed my first ANYTHING in English also my junior year. Though I was apathetic towards calculus (I didn't want to be in that class anyways), my English grade really kicked my butt into gear, and made me honestly work for my grade. It also taught me to focus on what I was learning and not just the letter I was receiving. Senior year, though, is when I really started to let stuff go. I wore a long dress to homecoming, a bright yellow one to prom, I took everyone's "opinions" of me and my life with LOTS of grains of salt, and I made fun of myself regularly-- through improv comedy and showing up to my choir class after doing a literature project that included drawing a full beard on my face with waterproof eyeliner (it didn't come off in time for choir class... XD). So, there's that. Honestly, best tips I have would be 1. be yourself (if people don't like it, who cares, cuz the minute you're done with high school and you're thrust into a complete ocean of diverse people who get to know you from the beginning is worth waaaaaaaaay more than people's petty judgements. 2. make time for yourself! physically and mentally!! 3. Laugh and pray every day. seriously. <br /><br />Keep on powering through, I know you've got this (: <br /><br />xoxo,<br />steph<br /><br />strictlystephanie.blogspot.comStrictlyStephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16745397538759042810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136833786206399444.post-27194886372712573702016-12-17T20:16:45.482-08:002016-12-17T20:16:45.482-08:00OOOO!

I saw it and thought..."HEY that's chill lets chat!"<br />HAHA I just went to your about page to check where else they did the college and high school program! They do that in Oregon too! However I didn't enter the program. I recently learned about the f doesn't mean you'll fail thing. It was a hard lesson but I got it. AND at the same time I didn't get it. To be explained on the blog in depth later.<br />I enjoyed this post my friend!
