Four Reasons Why "Toddlers And Tiaras" Is My Guilty Pleasure

"Toddlers and Tiaras." The popular TLC reality show that documents the world of child beauty pageants. I remember, when this show first premiered, I refused to watch it because I thought the idea of parading your child on stage in heavy makeup and skimpy clothing was disgusting.

One day there was absolutely nothing on TV and I saw "Toddlers and Tiaras" was on. I didn't want to do it. I tried not to click the select button on my remote control, but I did.

Worst (best) decision ever!

It was crazy seeing little girls look like mini 20-year-old women. Though I did not agree with what was going on while watching the show, I couldn't bring myself to change the channel. I was laughing, I was cringing and I knew from that moment that this show was going to be one of my favorites.

Here are some reasons why "Toddlers and Tiaras" is my guilty pleasure.

1. The pageant moms (and dads).


Some of the parents do get on my nerves because some do go too far when it comes to pushing their dreams onto their children. However, most of them are just so amusing. It is so obvious most of these kids couldn't care less that they are in a $4,000 dress, but the parents are so invested into it and it makes the show 10 times more entertaining.

Seeing grown adults do their child's routine is the greatest thing ever.

2. The horrifying yet hilarious routines.

The routines these kids do are so cringe-worthy, yet they're so hilarious at the same time. I don't know if I should laugh or be angry that someone actually choreographed the routine. Most of the time, I just end up laughing and shaking my head at the same time.

Side note: Even though no child should be dancing like this, it is still my favorite GIF, LOL.

3. It makes me appreciate the fact I don't have a crazy mom.

Even though some of the moms are quite funny, the majority of them are quite obnoxious. I mean come on, tanning an African American child? Even if she's bi-racial, is it really necessary? So every time I watch this crazy show, I thank god my mom is nowhere near as crazy as the ones shown on the show.

4. The kids are just flat out funny.

At the end of the day, these kids are just kids and they say the darnest things. While the parents, coaches and pageant judges are funny, the kids on the show are what make me keep watching this show on repeat. I honestly can relate to some of these baby beauty queens.

Which is something I never thought I would say.

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.

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.
