7 Things That Are Better Than Being "Hot"
Life Hack

Today there is so much pressure to look perfect all of the time, as if being "hot" is the only thing a girl can be in the world. There are so many other qualities that a girl can possess and that's what makes her really beautiful. Here are seven things that are better than being "hot:"


1. Authentic

Too many girls these days are too caught up in what everyone else is doing, and it’s hard not to be. Social media is so prevalent that everyone sees what everyone else is up to ever second of the day that the pressure of “perfection” is thrown upon girls (and guys). Girls think they have to weigh this much or wear these clothes or have hair that’s this long to be considered “desired." But the people you really want to surround yourself with don’t actually care about any of that stuff, they want to be around you for you, for your authentic self.

2. Kind-hearted

It is so easy to get wrapped up in the selfish nature of some people and become cold. It is really not that hard at all to just be kind to people. You don’t even have to go out of your way to be kind, you just do it. No one likes mean girls.

3. Passionate

People notice when other people are passionate about things. Whatever passion that may be, it’s admirable. Having one thing you are committed to and love doing is what makes you yourself.

4. Hard-working

Having ambition and drive is something that no one can take away from you. You know what you want to get accomplished and you know how you’re going to get there. Having priorities straight is such a redeemable quality for a person to have and it shines through during tough times.

5. Intentional

Being intentional is being conscious of how your beliefs and values impact your everyday life and how you choose to live by them. You intentionally act a certain way. From your body language to the words you use to the values you act out on a daily basis, you know how you are perceived by the world. The definition of intentional is literally “on purpose," so following through with your intentions makes you a more enjoyable person to be around.

6. Confident

Not in a cocky way, but a being sure of yourself kind of way. If you are secure with the person you are then it’s really hard to let things get to you. You’re not afraid to embarrass yourself in front of people because you can just walk it off. You’re not worried what people are thinking of you because you know how you feel about yourself and their opinions don’t matter. That’s the most beautiful thing a girl can be.

7. Intelligent

There’s nothing cute about acting dumb. I’ve never really understood why girls don’t use their brains to their advantage. Having an education is such a privilege, so why not use it? Being intelligent and smart is really all you can ask for.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
