10 Daily Struggles Only Curvy Girls Will Ever Understand

Being curvy in 2017 is a blessing, but there are some unfortunate downsides that come along with having a little extra meat on your thighs.

Thanks to celebrities like Kim K and Beyonce, being a curvy girl has definitely become a raging trend. The amount of hype placed on having the perfect curves is everywhere and its spreading faster than the plague.

Being curvy is a blessing...well...a blessing and a curse. Here are ten reasons why the curvy girl life isn't as glamorous as the media makes it seem.

1. Our hips don't lie.

...but they sure have a knack for colliding with every possible thing that gets in their way.

2. Chafing!


The pain is so real. Try walking in a dress for a couple of hours, especially on a hot summer's day. After the first hour, you'll be walking like a penguin. And the scarring is so real.

3. Never being able to find a good pair of jeans.

It's 2017, the iPhone X can make emojis speak, but somehow we still don't have the technology to make jeans that can fit. If they fit over your butt and thighs, they most likely will be too big on the waist. And high waisted shorts? FORGET ABOUT IT. They fit just like underwear.

4. The "accidental lap dance"

Trying to find a seat in a lecture hall or a movie theatre without having to rub your ass on something or someone along the way.

5. People who assume you know how to twerk.


Just because that "thing behind me" is large, definitely does not mean I know how to control it. But I have to admit, when "Gasolina" comes on at the club, my booty has a mind of its own.

6. Boxy dresses never flatter us.


Any dress that doesn't accentuate your waist makes you look like a walking box.

7. Leggings that stretch WAY too much around the booty area.


Not everyone has to know that I bought my underwear at PINK.

8. When certain clothing items are deemed to be too "sexy" for you.


But, when someone of a smaller stature wears it, it magically becomes acceptable.

9. All the unnecessary attention.


Try walking for a couple minutes around town without someone screaming "Damn girl you thick!" from their car.

Sometimes we feel the need to hide our bodies just to avoid it.

10. Never being able to share clothes.


In a perfect world, "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" is real. We'll just have to wait until that day comes.

Despite all the challenges society throws at us, we curvy ladies rule the world. So embrace what your mama gave 'ya and work those curves!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
