insecurities with rush

by:    

Is having acne and acne scars a huge disadvantage during rush? I'm a outgoing girl that gets a long with most everyone but I struggle with acne and scars and I'm also a sophomore so I'm worried the acne will have sororities looking down on me

You have like 20 days until rush starts. You can start to treat your acne scars and acne! I know you probably know this and it seems like I'm just being annoying but definitely look into skincare and work on it hardcore :) You'll feel more confident. 20 days is plenty of time to fade scars and treat acne!

Trust me I plan I trying to work on it but considering I've struggled with it since 8th grade, it's not something that's gonna clear up in 20 days. I'll try everything I can to get it under control again hopefully by then but it definitely won't all be gone :/

A lot of girls have acne scars.

Girls with acne or acne scars who have a successful rush all have one thing in common - they remain confident and know that they should worry about something they have so little control over.

You also have to think about what a successful rush means to you. Great new sisterhood? Good social life? You don't need to have perfect skin to obtain these things. It's all about appearing and being comfortable in your own skin, no matter what it looks like.

Thank you this reply is very reassuring. I've gotten a lot more confident since I first got an issue with it in 8th grade and it's improved much since then but the big issue is the grooves and scars I have left & the decent breakouts every month. But I don't let it bring down my confidence anymore. I just don't wanna automatically be marked down for my acne

1. Wash your face with a gentle cleanser every morning and every night.

2. Drink either a cup of green tea or a cup of warm water with lemon every morning.

3. Alternate between working out for 30 minutes per day and 60 minutes per day every day.

4. Drink half your body weight in fluid ounces of water every day.

5. If you can, go to the dermatologist and ask to be prescribed with a topical cream that you can apply daily and nightly.

Following these steps won't guarantee you clear skin before rush, but it will guarantee you looking and feeling your best! Good luck! You seem really sweet and I wish you the best during recruitment and in college!

Even if the comment was a "dumb" response, OPs reply was very mean spirited when it seems like the author had nothing but goos intentions. You don't sound like very nice people and I hope you aren't in/don't end up in my sorority.

Lmao I didn't reply the mean spirited one, every reply I've done is with the nickname op. I am a sarcastic person but I wouldn't be rude to someone that's just trying to help when I asked a serious question. But thanks for assuming.

I recommend laying out and trying to get a tan! I'm not saying to try and get super dark if you don't want to but getting a little color can help minimize the appearance of acne scars.

Please people I'm sure she has tried every trick in the book. She doesn't want your advice to clear up her acne. She's not saying "I have pimples and I'm not going to do anything about it help me"

Girl you sound like you have stellar confidence! Be yourself and I hope you find your home <3 If you get immediately "marked off" by a house just for that, it's their loss and you deserve better

If a house doesn't want you because you have acne/acne scars, then you don't even want to be in it! I have both & could never constantly wear makeup to hide it around my sisters lol
