Why can't people just leave her alone?

It appears Ashley Graham can't seem to catch a break. People either criticize her for being too fat, or for being too skinny. When she first started in the plus size modeling business, people said she was too fat and needed to lose weight. Well now that she has lost weight and actually looks better than ever, people are saying she is too skinny. The point is, why should it matter if she's skinny or fat? She is a beautiful plus size model, everything she has done for plus size women is amazing. She is not only giving plus size individuals more confidence but she is changing the way people view plus size women.

Here is Ashley Graham on the cover of Sports Illustrated 2016:

For years nobody ever saw plus size women on covers of magazines. Simply because many people think of models as only being a size 2. People need to realize that not everybody is going to be a size 0 or 2. Now, when you're in line at publix you see plus size models on the front covers of magazines. Although, there will always be individuals who will probably never accept plus size models.

We live in a world where people care more about appearances than the individual person. Ashley Graham along with other plus size models aren't just models, they are actual human beings with feelings. Imagine if that was you on the cover of magazines and people only cared about your size. The point is, why should people be judged and criticized because of the way they look? Imagine if we lived in a world where everybody looked the same, how boring would that be?

Nobody is perfect, everyone has flaws and things that they don't like about themselves. The point being that we should embrace our flaws, and instead of bringing each other down, we should lift each other up.

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.
