Look, act, think, work.

"Look like a girl, act like a lady, think like a man, work like a boss."

This quote has become my mantra over the last few weeks. Personally, I've never been particularly girly. Don't get me wrong: I love dressing up at times, but only every so often. I'm more comfortable in t-shirts and jeans, lounging around the house. I'm not scared to break a nail or get dirty. I believe in looking like a girl, because I'm only nineteen years old. I'm not going to try to act way older than I am and I'm not going to wear super baggy clothes. I'm going to look like a nineteen year old college student, but I'm going to act like a lady, insomuch as I can. I've never been very ladylike and prissy. I try to watch what I say however and act polite in everything I do. I was raised in the South after all! Thinking like a man is the tricky part. Don't over-think mess. Don't see connections where there are none. Just live in the moment. I'm going to work like a boss in whatever I do. Work hard, but work smart. Be a leader in whatever you do.

I'm doing my best to be a strong, resourceful woman. I might be a long way from it, but I'm getting closer every day.
