What Is Beauty?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

What Is Beauty?
Kassie Boles

How do you define beauty? Do you think of a woman putting on make up and getting dressed up? Do you look for the inner beauty that many people seem to lack these days? Many people get so caught up in what the world says beauty is, that they don't know how to define it for themselves.

When I think of beauty, I think of the messy, out of control life we live. That's where I find the beauty. There is beauty in every mess. Sometimes it is hard to remember that because chaos seems to flood our lives, but the chaos is what creates the beauty. There are beautiful people(inside and out), there are beautiful animals that roam this beautiful earth, there is beautiful music that when you hear it, you get lost in it, there is beautiful art, and there are so many other beautiful things.

I find beauty in life's moments. Beauty comes from two people meeting for the first time, saying I love you for the first time, marrying each other and starting a family. Beauty comes from your very first trip to Disneyworld and trying a new food for the first time. Beauty comes from that Christmas tradition that you have done for 30 years now. You see it's the moments in life that we experience for ourselves and that we share with others that are beautiful. Others may not see the beauty in it but for you the beauty overflows.

Yes, life is messy, stormy, and more times than not chaotic, but it's in those times you need to stop and think what is the beauty in this. So many times we get caught up in this fast paced life and never appreciate true beauty for what it is. It's there, you just have to look.

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.

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.
