Little Monsters React To Body Shamers After The Super Bowl

The headlines weren't about Gaga's performance, but her body.

Little Monsters React To Body Shamers After The Super Bowl
This Is Insider

We all saw Lady Gaga's amazing Super Bowl performance. She flew into the stadium from the sky, rocked all her songs and nailed every dance step. The following day, the headlines were not about how well she had performed, but rather about her "stomach flap."

If this is considered "fat," then I must be obese. I love how Lady Gaga wasn't ashamed to move and dance freely in her own body. We all have rolls when we sit down, this is because we are human.

Situations like these are what leads people to have bad images of their own bodies. When someone as tiny as Lady Gaga is being shamed for not being perfectly toned, what is the everyday women or young girl supposed to think of her own, not perfectly toned body?

Twitter users began to attack the artist, but her "little monsters," her fans, came to her defense shutting down the body shamers once and for all. They prided her on being comfortable in her own skin and setting realistic expectations of what a woman's body should look like.

Tweets like these and many more blew up on Twitter following the singer's performance. What's ridiculous is that Lady Gaga is very accepting of all people. You can often find her giving back to the less fortunate or fighting for equal right for all types of people. Why can't people do the same for her?

Regardless, Lady Gaga is a great role model. She wasn't afraid to be completely herself in her own skin. What younger girls should take away from this performance is not that her body isn't perfect and should be shamed, but it should be prided because it isn't perfect. Nobody is perfect, not even celebrities because we are simply all human.

Fans, supporters and viewers of Lady Gaga's performance should take away from it just what Lady Gaga preaches -- you were born this way. There's no reason to body shame yourself or others- especially through a computer screen. It's time we start setting more realistic goals for ourselves and stop comparing ourselves to others. There is enough negativity in the world already, let's start spreading some positivity.

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.

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.
