All my life I have been the bigger girl. Being a bigger girl you hear things such as "you are pretty for a bigger girl" or "that would look better on someone smaller". From every day struggles, to bigger things like finding the perfect prom/formal dress, all us "big" girls know these so well. Here are 10 things the "bigger" girl is tired of hearing.

1. You are pretty for a bigger girl.

No I am just pretty. There is no add-on. There should never be an add-on.

2. That would look better in a bigger size.

No I feel comfortable and confident in this size. I don't have to have baggy clothes to look good.

3. That looks better on someone skinnier.

No it looks good on me that's why I am wearing it.

4. Bigger girls don't look good with long hair.

Um try again. We look fabulous with all hair styles.

5. You could probably lose weight if you tried.

You don't know my life. Don't tell me what I can and can't do. Maybe I struggle with it, but thanks for pointing it out.

6. You shouldn't wear a bikini.

Why? Just why? Do people feel as if they have the privilege to tell us how we can dress and where. If I want to wear one and I feel comfortable then you are the only one with an issue.

7. The "looks".

You know the ones you get trying on clothes or grocery shopping. You don't know me. You don't know my life. You don't know who all the food is for. Maybe I am not going to eat it all alone.

8. People seem to only see your size sometimes.

I am more than my size so get to know me...especially guys. Guys are the worst.

9. Girls are really cruel to each other.

Why do we girls tear each other apart always? We should build each other up.

10. Finally, the biggest struggle of all is ... Not caring about your "thigh gap".

Cool you have one good for you!! Yay! Well, I am closer to mermaid status than you are so.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
