As an ardent admirer of aesthetics and prominent beauty pageants, I couldn't stop myself from not speaking about the constituent remodeling of major components of the Miss America pageant. CNN posted an article about the subsequent areas of the original competition dating back to a legacy of 97 years and how it will be revamped to provide more opportunities for various types of women. I strongly believe in the quintessential idea of how "beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder" and that there are infinite levels to justify the beauty of a person.

First of all, beauty has always been regarded as an extrinsic attribute and often we make our judgments about the nature of a person really fast just by their exterior appearance. Honestly, this is not the most logical way of making viewpoints about another individual because you may not know about the struggles experienced by the person in their everyday lives. It is way difficult to put a smile on your face if you know how deadly and tragic your situation is. Beauty is a combination of both internal and external traits. Believe it or not, the heart plays a significant role towards enhancing a person's beauty.

2018 will be the year in which the iconic Miss America competition will zoom in on factors above external features and provide women of all sizes and shapes to participate. According to former Miss America and chairwoman Gretchen Carlson, "We will no longer judge our candidates on their outward physical appearance. That's huge." Women empowerment is definitely on the rise and the Miss America organization will make this their priority.

Participating in a beauty pageant is not an easy feat to accomplish! As a participant, it is imperative that you demonstrate your skills, talents, and passions on a broader spectrum openly and confidently. In other words, beauty is further captivated via the levels of confidence expressed during every activity you engage yourself in. It is truly amazing how the Miss America pageant has evolved into a competition in which all women will be free to express their innate individuality amidst a myriad of people.

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.
