11 Things Curvy Girls Are Tired Of Hearing

Women in general have many stereotypes against them, especially when it comes to body shape.

I've been curvy since puberty hit me. One day I was flat chested like everyone else and the next BAM, two large melons sprouted from my chest.

Normally, when we think of curvy, we think of a big chest, butt, hips - the whole nine yards. But being curvy is a generalized word for an array of bodies. Women in general have many stereotypes against them, especially when it comes to body shape. You're either too big or too small, too curvy or too thin. It's a no-win situation. Being a curvy woman, I hear the same things across the board.

When talking to other curvy women about it, these are things that we're all tired of hearing:

1. We're tired of being told that we shouldn't wear certain things


If we aren't supposed to wear them, why were they made in our side? I'm sorry you're uncomfortable seeing me fill out an outfit. And if certain clothes don't come in our size, we will forever give you the stink eye for not letting us live our lives in your cute clothes.

2. We're tired of being told that we should leave crop top to thinner girls

Again, it was made in my size and it fits, so I'm wearing it. I love me a crop top and I'm going to wear it when I please...on my days off of work.

3. We're tired of being told we should lose weight

How does being curvy instantly make us fat? Why is it okay for you to make us feel bad about our bodies that we live in constantly? Our bodies are our own for life. We love them.

4. We're tired of being shamed for our rolls, curves or thunder thighs

My rolls were given to me by the delicious things know as fries. Sorry to upset you with them, but my fry addiction isn't going anywhere

5.Speaking of thunder thighs, we're tired of being told that we need to have a thigh gap

News flash: anyone can get a thigh gap by gently pushing their pelvis back and slightly parting their legs. Genius invention for the perfect insta photo.

6. We're tired of being told that we're not your type of woman

Just so you know, my curves are a lot to handle and only the strongest people have been able to. I guess you know what that means. Try lifting some weights.

7. We're tired of feeling like we're not good enough for society because we don't look like a Victoria's Secret model

Have you ever looked into the strict diets those ladies have to go through? No thanks, I'll stick with my fries.

8. When it's swimsuit season, we're tired of being told that we should stick to one piece swimsuits

Last time I checked, I could wear whatever swimsuit I was comfortable in, whether it be bikini, tankini, monokini, or whatever other kinis there are. If I'm comfortable enough to be out in public in one of my many kinis, you should be too. Please don't walk over to me and speak to me about it. I will not respond.

9. We're tired of having the hardest time finding pants that fit every part of our curves

Um, excuse me, what? It says in your brand description that your pants fit all shapes and sizes, yet I'm sitting here jumping like a kangaroo trying to fit in your pants. When we do find pants that fit, we have to buy more than one pair because it won't be long until the first pair rip at the seams.

10. We're tired of being told that a dress or long shirt over our leggings because we're making others around us uncomfortable

Excuse me Debra, who told you I was making them uncomfortable? Was it John over there? Well, you can tell him that there's a place for pervs: it's called jail. You can go visit him with your six cats, Debra.

11. And please don't tell us that we need a bigger size when you see us in a dress

Again, I'm sorry you're uncomfortable with my butt looking like it's too big in this dress that is actually my size. I already know I have to constantly check to see if my butt is sticking out, you don't need to tell me Debra! Go feed your cats.


All jokes aside, being a woman in this world is hard. There's always a Debra or a John waiting around the corner to criticize you for being the lovely woman that you are, whether you're curvy or not. I've never dealt with the skinny side but I bet it sucks just as much. We're women and we should stick together. We should let these societal standards be a means of judgment as to who is worthy or not of being beautiful. You, Sir John and Madam Debra, don't have to believe that curvy is beautiful, but I sure do!

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
