Everybody And Every Body Needs (Self) Love

You have the power to create the best day.

With today's type of culture and society, exercise and eating healthy is in a bigger push than ever. We see many people start fitness social media accounts or food blogs and I know I have said more than on one occasion how I wished I looked like *insert name.* It is so much easier to tear yourself down and see all the impurities rather than saying, "wow I really love *insert aspect.*" I am sure everyone has something about them they would like to change and either are working towards that goal or not.

In a world like now, everyone needs to be more positive about their body and give enough self-love.

You are perfect. If you decide you don't like what you see, then change that. It is your decision to change for you and you only. I hate hearing someone is changing because they want to fit in or that is what is trendy or someone told them so, that is complete bullsh*t. No matter what anyone says, hear this, you are perfect and you should see that.

I know, I know, so much easier said than done but having confidence and love in yourself. I found a lot of myself love and body positivity while reading poetry. The way it makes you think and embrace every aspect of yourself captivates me. In one of my favorite poetry books, "I Wrote This For You," one of the last poems says:

That the sun will rise each day and it's up to you each day if you match it. That nothing matters up until this point. That what you decide now, in this moment, will change the future. That rain is beautiful.

And so are you.

Remember each day you have the power to create the perfect day and make the best you possible.

It doesn't matter if you are a size 4 or size 14 in women's or size 27W or 40W in men's, embrace your beauty, your positivity and self-love. Don't forget to occasionally treat yo self, because you deserve it.

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.
