31 Times You Will Feel Confident AF

times you feel most confident

Confidence is the key to life. You can’t just fake it until you make it, you have to fake it until you become it (I heard that one a TEDTalk once). The bummer is, it’s not always easy to be the fierce firecracker that we want to be. Luckily, there are a good number of times in your life in which you are surely to feel on top of the world.

  1. After a fresh haircut.
    You are a beautiful butterfly emerging from her cocoon.
  2. Singing in your car at the top of your lungs.
    Someone call Simon Cowell, the next big star is driving this ’04 Honda Accord.
  3. Sitting in the gynecologist’s office.
    You just *know* you are the best looking vagina in the room.
  4. In a Taco Bell.
    Especially in a state like West Virginia.
  5. Wearing Calvin Klein underwear.
    It’s like, are you maybe a Kardashian?
  6. Stepping out of the shower freshly shaven.
    You are a silky smooth goddess.
  7. Receiving a random compliment.
    Even strangers notice that you are killin’ it.
  8. Clipping around in your highest heels.
    Tears of pain are welling up in your eyes, but you’ve got all eyes on you.
  9. Walking out of a test you studied your ass off and aced.
    Look at you, girl. Beauty AND brains.
  10. Getting free drinks from the bartender.
    NBD, he just wants to get married.
  11. Strutting through the dining hall as an upperclassman.
    Yeah, you got a younger sister to swipe for you and you don’t give a good GD.
  12. When someone belly laughs at one of your joke.
    Next Amy Schumer, right here.
  13. Dancing in your room alone.
    Dance like no one is watching, literally.
  14. Wearing lipstick.
    You don’t have to say anything, your lips do the talking. They are saying you’re a bad bitch.
  15. Leaving the gym.
    You might have just wheezed your way through 20 minutes on the elliptical, but you worked out today. Good for you.
  16. When a cute guy asks for your number.
    And then texts you the next morning because they just *have* to see you again.
  17. Breaking 200 likes on Instagram.
    You might as well start modeling.
  18. Getting the last cup in pong.
    You might need a massage from carrying the team on your back all night.
  19. Similarly, shotgunning like a champ.
    What, like it’s hard?
  20. Whenever “your song” comes on.
    Beyonce, T. Swift, whatever it is, you become the best version of yourself.
  21. Matching the wings on your eyeliner.
    You have the precision and patience of Michelangelo.
  22. Walking around with your best girlfriends.
    It’s like that scene in Mean Girls, except no one falls in a trash can.
  23. Getting a question right on Jeopardy.
    Alex, I’ll take I’m A Genius for $1000, please.
  24. The day after your period.
    Finally, you are free.
  25. Getting hella clothes on sale.
    Your mama would be so proud.
  26. Perfectly parallel parking on the first try.

  27. When someone asks if you’ve lost weight.
    No, but no one has to know that.
  28. Wearing new clothes.
    “Oh, this ol’ thing?”
  29. Taking over the AUX cord and playing fire jams.
    No one can start the party like you can.
  30. Finally finding a pair of jeans that fit you.
    Cherish this moment, it comes once in a lifetime. Buy 12 pairs.
  31. Wearing your letters.
