5 Thoughts Every Women Has But Shouldn't Be Having
The Odyssey

Nowadays women are looking towards celebrities and social media to set the platform for what is beautiful. What fashion trends are in, how we should be wearing our makeup, doing our hair and even how our body should look. These unrealistic standards of beauty that are being set are tearing down the confidence of women all around the world. Women are looking in the mirror with a mind full of insecurities telling themselves they are not good enough. Instead of finding validation from within, we are comparing ourselves to women that are idolized as beautiful. Our minds are being clouded with negative thoughts that should never cross a women's mind.

Here are five thoughts that due to unrealistic beauty standards, cross the mind of every women daily:

1. "I can't wear that, I'm not skinny enough."

You can be a size zero or a size 12 and in either size you will be beautiful. Never define your beauty by someone else who was born with a completely different figure. You are beautiful in your own way. As long as you are confident, you can wear anything you see someone else wearing.

2. "Why can't I have the lips, cheekbones and eyebrows of a Kardashian."

It's no secret the Kardashians are gorgeous, but it's also no secret that they have glam teams and thousands of dollars to spend on plastic surgery. Their beauty is priced at thousands, your natural beauty is free. You just need to see the beauty in yourself.

3. "My boobs will never look that good in a shirt."

Not everyone is born with perfectly round, perky boobs. Most women are either using miracle working bras or have had some work done. But whether you are born with great breast or using your own tricks to make them great, you should never consider yourself anything less than perfect because of another woman walking down the street with perky boobs.

4. "I refuse to wear shorts because of the cellulite on my legs."

News flash ladies, the majority of women have cellulite!! A few little dimples on your legs should not stop you from wearing anything you want to wear. Cellulite is not a symbol of fat. Women of all sizes have cellulite.

5. "My skin will never look as flawless as celebrities skin does."

Keep in mind, these celebrities spend big bucks to make sure their skin is flawless. You may not have perfectly smooth skin but whether it is acne, wrinkles or scars, it should not make you feel any less confident in yourself. Embrace the skin you are in and you will look as beautiful as any other woman.

You are born the way you are. You can spend hundreds of dollars on makeup, different cremes and you can even go under the knife. But at the end of the day you are still in the skin you are born with and in order to feel confident in that skin, you must love it.

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:

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.
