10 Things Plus Size Women Can't Do
Abigail Roxby

It's no secret that the media today is emphasizing an ideal shape that women should strive to achieve. Wide, full hips, a narrow waist, slender arms, a thigh gap, a bodacious booty, among other things. It's not that uncommon for a woman to find herself outside of society's cookie cutter mold. So I've complied a list of things these beautiful, unique, strong, outsiders just shouldn't do, by any means what so ever.

1. Wear white pants.

I mean, come on, who wants to see their cellulite. How dare a woman have fat in their thighs that push up against their connective tissue to cause dimples in their skin. The shame.



2. Wear clothing that exposes their skin

Because, once again, no one wants to see that right? No one should have to tolerate a bigger woman feeling confident enough to wear whatever she pleases.



3. Wear horizontal stripes.

That's just common fashion sense, right? Horizontal stripes are just the most unflattering thing, it just makes them seem wider.




4. Wear tank tops. EVER.

What kind of woman would ever be confident enough to show off anything less than perfectly sculpted and toned arms? The horror.


5. Be passionate and talented at anything.

Women of size don't have any qualities besides from their physical appearance, right?



6. Wear a bikini.

Oh my goodness, the horror of a plus sized woman in a bikini is just too much to comprehend. The sight of someone walking by that jiggles is just repulsive. It's not like all humans have fat right? That fat is an important part of our biology that serves a purpose in survival? How dare they be confident enough to show their smoothy tummy in public, think of the children.



7. Wear leggings of any kind.

Comfort and versatility just don't apply to people that are larger than "normal." They shouldn't be allowed to wear what makes them feel confident and beautiful.



8. Wear anything that draws attention to themselves.

Tall women can't wear heels around petite people. It just makes them look gangly and awkward. Physical appearance is all we have to offer, personalities are moot now. It's the 21st century, people, how dare you stand out.



9. Be a performer.

The idea of a plus size performer is just too outlandish. Plus size women can't have talent. It's not like there has been anyone that's been successful (Mellisa McCarthy, Rebel Wilson, Adele).



10. Have a good time.

How dare women that don't have perfect bodies enjoy themselves! It's almost like they've accepted who they are as a person! How can they think they're beautiful with imperfections?! It's almost like there's been a revolution of some sort of body positivity and women are standing up for their rights to be considered people instead of objects?



And that's it! Ten things people that aren't perfect can't do. Remember: if you're not what the world wants you to be, you might as well just give up. It's not like every single human being is created differently, has a different set of skills, different body types, different genetic make up, different interests, different likes, different dislikes, different senses of styles, different ethnicities, different ideas of beauty, or anything like that. And it's not like people are the most accepting as they've ever been in history, so it's not like you can be who you truly are in this modern era. Don't forget that there's no such thing as the body positivity movement that's all about accepting every body, whether thick or thin, short or tall, white or black, smooth or lumpy, stretch marks or none, pimples or clear skin, or any other differences within the human realm of uniqueness.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
