11 Reasons Why the Dad Bod is Actually the Worst

I know that a guy having a "dad bod" is thought of as a huge turn on for a lot of girls, but I am here to stand up for the girls who cannot stand it. Personally, I have never been attracted to this type of thing, and neither are some of my friends. Here are a 11 reasons why the dad bod is actually the worst:

1. Girls are always expected to have this amazing body when guys don't try the slightest bit.

2. I already have issues reaching up to hug someone. I don't want to have trouble reaching out in front of me.

3. It is more impressive when a guy takes off a shirt and you can tell he at least attempts to work out, and not be near to what the dad bod looks like.

4. "Dad" is in the term.

5. Because the word "dad" is in there, that's like a girl saying she's attracted to what her dad looks like.

6. A mix of the beer gut and a hairy chest is the furthest thing from being a turn-on.

7. It's an excuse for guys so that they don't have to work out.

8. When a girl has some fat on her, a guy will freak out and not think of them as hot.

9. A guy will pretty much brag about having "a beer gut."

10. It's dumb to even brag about drinking. We're in college, almost everyone does it.

11. This is supposed to be the prime of our lives. Everyone wants to look back at pictures and think, "Wow, I looked really good when I was in college."

So girls, please don't encourage the dad bod. Guys are stubborn and won't listen, but maybe, just maybe, they won't think of it as an acceptable thing.

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.

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.
