Change Starts Here
I started this self-esteem blog to make women of color feel better about themselves. Too many of us settle for less because we don't think we can have it all. I hope these blog posts will help you realize you can have it all and so much more.

It’s registration time. That means countless time spent planning out your life and waiting in line for half-an-hour at your adviser’s office just to ask a simple question.This time also brings out one of the questions I hate most, “Who knows any easy classes I can take?”
This question has even caused a Facebook group about easy classes at the university to come into existence.
I understand keeping your GPA up, but you lose something when you water down your whole schedule with classes you could care less about, and, let’s face it, will spend the whole semester complaining about because you have no interest in the subject.
I challenge you to test your limits by going outside of your comfort zone.
I am not saying to take an exceptionally hard classes, but don’t bypass a class because they have to write three essays or because the quizzes might not be particularly easy. Test your comfort zone by taking a class that may not be hard, but requires a little extra research to do well.
I took a children’s literature class this semester, which is something I never thought I would do, and I learned so much about psychology. I never would have learned so much about psychological archetypes and discovered a love for children’s books if I had never tested my limits.
Challenging yourself academically can open your world to possibilities and help prove you yourself what you are capable of. Don’t cheat yourself out of reaching your full potential because you took the easy way out.
Test your limitations and expand your comfort zone.
