It's time for part two of this series! I hope my advice helps you!
1. I have been assigned a project in one of my classes, but the only problem is that my teacher assigned partners too. I have been chosen to partner up with another student who never does their work. What should I do?
For this particular situation, I would either make sure my partner pitches in and helps, or I would do the assignment on my own and refuse to let my partner copy my work because he/she was not helping. Since this is a project where you have a partner, I feel like it would not make sense to do all the work yourself and not share with your partner because in the first place you are supposed to work with your partner. What I would do is speak up, and tell my partner this is not just a solo project, and I am not going to do all the work myself.
It is very annoying when you get partnered up with someone who doesn't do their work, and talks the whole time or gets distracted by other things, but chances are your teacher partnered you up with that person because he/she thought you would be able to get this person to actually do their work. Now it's up to you! Speak up, and let your partner know you are not doing the assignment on your own!
2. I feel like I am constantly comparing myself to others. How can I stop comparing?
First off, if social media is the thing that is making you compare yourself to others, then cut off your social media usage. Secondly, if you find yourself comparing yourself to others in real life, then find some ways to stop that. Here are my tips on stopping comparison: look at yourself in the mirror and say, "I'm perfect just the way I am. I don't need to compare myself to others." I know just saying things to yourself might not always change things, but remind yourself you are amazing just the way God created you to be! It's important to remember that and build your self esteem!
When you see the way other people dress, wear their hair, or makeup, you often find ways to compare. Instead of worrying about those things, think of everyone as their own person, and when you are about to compare your outfit to he/she's outfit, stop yourself. Remind yourself that this person you are about to compare yourself with is unique, and you can't look like them because they are unique. Focus on just being yourself, and stay true to you!
3. Life is looking bad for me right now. I'm bored with my life, and feeling depressed and discouraged. How do you stay happy with your life?
Well, I stay happy with my life because I know I have God on my side. I trust in Him to lead my life where He wants it to go. That's not to say that I'm happy all the time, but I'm happy most of the time. God helps me to keep going. If I ever feel discouraged, or bored with my life, I take a moment to think about how God has a plan for me, and He will work His wonderful plan out to completion.
I try not to let myself feel like life is over because it's not, and there are still so many things God wants me to do to help grow His kingdom. Don't let yourself get discouraged or bored with your life! Remind yourself that God has an amazing plan for your life, and He needs you to be ready to carry His plan out!
You are so special, and your life is so worthy to be lived! Don't let the enemy make you think your life is not worth living! Your life IS worth living because of God! God has a plan for you, and His plan is perfect.
I was going to try to do five pieces of advice for each part to this series, but I decided to just do three for today because this post is already pretty long. Don't forget to let me know if you ever need advice, or you could contact a professional. You can always email me at guineapigfuzz@gmail.com!
Thanks for reading, and stay tuned because I have more blog posts coming this week! ~Ella
