Dear Alice,

I haven't had to do one of these in a while, but all this insecurity and lack of confidence is killing me so here we go again..

You need to breathe. Stop finding the negativity in everything and stop putting yourself down. You're not perfect, but you only keep telling yourself this because you keep comparing yourself to other people. No matter how hard you try, there will ALWAYS be someone better than you; use that person to inspire and motivate yourself, NOT bring yourself down. There's always someone prettier, someone smarter, someone more athletic, someone more outgoing, someone taller, someone more talented, someone more successful; but you honestly need to stop letting that get you down. Stop moping. Pick yourself up.

Yes, you have a lot of shit on your plate right now but stop whining - it's not getting you anywhere. Suck it up and work through it; you know you've been through worse. Yes, Formal's on a time crunch (and yes, some bitches in cabinet just refuse to be cooperative but fuck their shit), but you can do this. Get a list of venues by Wednesday, visit this weekend, final decision next week, themes/titles by end of next week, committee packets out by the 16th, ballots out by the 19th, fashion show on the 11th...everything should be able to fall in place granted you don't procrastinate like you always do. And yes, Student Showcase is soon but all you need to do is print out the app, make 20 copies, stick it into the envelopes, send in a PA request, FB event, and you're done! Breathe.

You're surrounded by so many things that you too often take for granted. You have beautiful friends, a beautiful boyfriend (hi I love you), a beautiful family, a beautiful ASB, a beautiful family at the chapter, a beautiful soon-to-be-swim-team, a beautiful holiday season! You're too holed up in your own concerns when honestly, there's no reason to. College? Face it - Penn is some fancy dream of yours; crack down on your NYU app, THEN worry about Penn and Georgetown.

Stop being insecure. Stop taking what other people say so personally. Stop letting your temper flare out of control. Stop being scared to speak up for yourself. Stop waiting for better things to come. Stop expecting everything to work out your way. Stop wasting time. Stop pushing people away. Stop being self-righteous. Stop being shallow. Stop being jealous. Stop worrying about things that don't matter.

Start being confident again. Start finding more reasons to smile. Start surrounding yourself with people that make you happy. Start trusting more. Start getting things done on time so you don't have to panic later. Start appreciating the little things. Start being more open-minded. Start finding inspiration. Start managing time better. Start being more outgoing. Start finding happiness in yourself. Start being thankful for what you have.

December, here I come. ♥
