14 Things You Should Never Say To Skinny Girls

If you're a skinny girl like me, you're probably a veteran in people commenting on your weight. When the wind really picks up one day, someone is bound to tell you, "Hey, better watch out! You might blow away!" Some people are just oddly fascinated with skinny women, and as a skinny woman, it's weird. There is no novelty about my body because it has a more slender build. I'm a person with a thin frame, and that's about as interesting as it gets. Apart from the wind comment, there are plenty of uncomfortable, unnecessary, and downright rude things that people find they must say to skinny girls that just shouldn't be said. Here are some of them:

1. "Do you ever eat anything, like ever?"

No. I am magically able to remain alive by consuming absolutely nothing. This is the dumbest question in the entire world. No duh I eat. Actually, I eat all the time. I love food. My body just digests it differently than other people's does.

2. "I could break you like a toothpick!"

That's an uncomfortable statement. Please don't do that. It would hurt.

3. "You have, like, no boobs."

Really? All the conversation topics in the world and you're going to go with that?

4. "You're skinny. You have nothing to be self-conscious about. Stop complaining about how you look."

Riiight, I forgot only full-figured women are allowed to have body issues. No, do not say this to skinny girls. It's annoying. We have every right to be self-conscious about our bodies, too.

5. "There's no way you're going to eat all that."

Oh yeah? Watch me.

6. "Why are you going to the gym? You don't need to work out."

Because I want to? Also, skinny does not mean healthy. Everyone needs to exercise.

7. "How would you know anything about struggling with your weight? You're skinny."

OK, first of all, you have no idea what my health conditions are like. Secondly, you're rude. Gaining weight can be extremely hard, depending on your body. Don't ask this question. It makes you look like a jerk.

8. Men: "I have bigger boobs than you."

Congratulations! Would you like an award?

9. "You look anorexic."

Why would you ever tell someone this?! Why?! That is a disease, not a description. If you say this to a skinny woman, or any skinny person for that matter, just take your wrongness and go somewhere else and be wrong.

10. "Meat is for men. Bones are for dogs."

Did you just...did you just...what? No. No, no, no. Get out and don't come back. You are Captain Idiot of the Dumb Army, and we are deploying you to the Island of Morons for the rest of your life.

11. "Skinny girls have no problems shopping for clothes."

Bruh, let me tell you about how many shirts and dresses I have wanted to buy and couldn't because my boobs were too small for them. Bracelets? Yeah, you can forget about that because my wrists are too tiny for that mess. Skinny girls have shopping issues, too.

12. "Real women have curves."

Do me a favor and just get out because I don't even want to look at you.

13. "You're eating a salad? No wonder you're skinny. Eat a cheeseburger!"

If I want to eat a salad, I'll do it. If I want to eat a cheeseburger, I'll do it. Don't tell me how to eat my food, son. Bippity boppity back the hell up!

14. "I can see all of your bones."

Thanks for telling me. I had no clue.

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.
