I get it, she looks great, but being happy and healthy should always be the priority.

Let's Stop Praising Ayesha Curry's 'New' Body And Focus On The Fact That She Is Happy And Healthy

Ayesha Curry just stepped out looking AMAZING after a 35-pound weight loss, and don't get me wrong: she looks great. I think we're missing the bigger idea that Curry is trying to speak about, though.

Weight loss is really hard, and most people don't live in a world where they can work out for 12 hours a day, afford a personal trainer, and cast all of their responsibilities out to sea in order to work out, Curry included.

The platform she has been speaking out about is more inspiring and beautiful than the weight loss itself, but everyone just seems stuck talking about her "new body" instead of talking about the heart of what she has done.

Let's talk about how Curry is more than just another person who lost weight.

She's a role model and spokesperson for what it looks like to lose weight in the real world. It's hard... like really, really hard. She addresses this by talking about at-home workouts and quick and healthy meals to fit into someone's busy lifestyle.

Most of all, she didn't do it to be praised about how great she looks, she did it to be strong and healthy for herself and the people in her life who rely on her.

She did it to be happy, to be healthy, not to be praised for having a great body by America's superficial beauty standards.

Making these types of lifestyle changes can be so critical and so fruitful to someone's life, but they shouldn't be done for the praise or to meet America's standard of beauty.

They should be done, like Curry did, for yourself and yourself only.

It shouldn't be about meeting this superficial, self-centered, egotistical idea of beauty in America, and when more attention is going into Curry's look than her strategy, we're undermining the hard work she did to get there and the message she is trying to send to every person in America trying so hard to take that first step to make this pivotal lifestyle change.

Do it for yourself.

Do it for your loved ones.

Do it for those who count on you waking up tomorrow morning.

Don't do it just to meet a beauty standard or to get complimented on your body... that's not the heart of this.

To wake up each and every day happy, to love who you were designed to be, and to accept yourself for who you are while challenging yourself to make continual improvements to better yourself: that's what this is about.

Stop making this about her "new bod" and instead, make it about happy and healthy lifestyle changes because that's what the real win is here.

Oh, and if you don't believe me check out Curry's post for yourself. This was for the betterment of her own life, not for verbal praise.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
