Appreciate Your Body In Every Season

Your summer body is not the only body that matters.

Appreciate Your Body In Every Season

It is already hard enough seeing others who may have the perfect body that you want, but it is entirely okay if you are not there yet. Everyone's journey to their "perfect" body type is different. We all have a range of shapes, and sizes.

There is some trend that refers to having a "summer body," and people make it seem as though it is necessary and you HAVE to have a specific body for the summer. No, this is incorrect. Anybody that you are comfortable in IS your summer body. Do not let others perceptions influence you on how you should look. If you have a few rolls here and there embrace it if you have no butt or small boobs welcome it. This goes for the men as well. I cannot speak on many of the body insecurities you may have but know that my message is still for you.

You need to be able to love yourself in every form no matter what the season is. When it is cold outside, and you have sweats and a hoodie on embracing it, when it is hot, and you have on shorts and a tank to embrace it. YOU are what make the clothes that you have on.

It is so easy to suck yourself into a depressive state because your body is not where you want it to be. The only person that can change that is you, but you have to love your body now before any changes as well as after you make some differences in your appearance. As my last article stated, you will never be happy trying to live up to others standards if you can't even reach your own. The change starts with you so start NOW.

It is quite sad how we let others opinions/society have such a big impact on our lives. It's time we finally break this chain.

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:

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.
