Why Amy Schumer Is The Farthest Thing From A Train Wreck

The movie that seems to be what everyone is talking about this summer is Amy Schumer's "Trainwreck," which brought in $30 million it's opening weekend. It tells a story of a party girl (Schumer's character) and her struggle with love, her family, and her job. Not only was this movie absolutely hilarious, but it was also relatable to a lot of people. Although Schumer did play a train wreck on screen, in reality she is actually the farthest thing from one.

A lot of what Schumer talks about is body image and confidence in herself. She isn't skinny and she's proud of that. She doesn't feel the need to work out all the time because she is confident in her appearance and what she looks like. So many people struggle with self acceptance and body image. Well, Schumer sends a message to all those people that you don't need to be skinny to be beautiful and it's okay to go to Starbucks and order two scones, especially if they're small.

One of the most important things about Schumer, though, is she doesn't need a man to define her. She bases a lot of her jokes around the idea that she sleeps with a lot of people, but in reality she doesn't actually do that. Even if she did, we would still love her, but she always makes it a point to make a joke around the idea that she doesn't need a man to be happy. Pizza will do a better job than any guy could, anyway. It's important for women these days to be independent without a romantic relationship, and this is definitely an important message that Schumer sends.

Amy Schumer's got it all figured out. She's in no rush to settle down, if she even decides to, at the age of 34. If we all took a few tips from the comedian, we would be living much happier lives with more confidence and more independence, while having a moderate drinking problem, that can easily be kicked by giving all the alcohol in your apartment to the homeless guy on the curb. If that's not the farthest thing from a train wreck then I don't know what is, but what I do know is I'll be taking tips from Schumer from now on. If you haven't seen "Trainwreck" yet, cancel your weekend plans because when it comes to comedies, no one does it better than Amy Schumer in this movie.

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.
