Women Can Dress However They Want, Stop Judging Them

Just because she has on a limited amount of clothing doesn't mean she is less than a person.

PSA: IT DOES NOT MAKE YOU LESS OF A WOMAN IF YOU WEAR CLOTHES THAT ARE CONSIDERED "CLOTH."

Read it again.

Nothing bothers me more than seeing women tear another woman down because of how she is dressed. And I'm not talking about wearing sweatpants and a t-shirt, I'm talking that skirt with a tube tope. Her "goods" are covered, and she is not showing anything that is considered private. So why are you making faces at her and saying things along the lines of "she looks so slutty."

First off, it's 2020. It should not be frowned upon when women show a little skin. We are proud of our bodies and it has been instilled in us that we must be confident, so we are. Second, why tear someone else down to feel better about yourself? I promise it's not going to change your inside or outside appearance, only you can change that. We as women should be lifting one another up and pushing each other to be individual and doing the small things that make us feel beautiful. Even if it's a crop top.

If you have no desire to dress frugal, that's totally fine. That's what makes you happy and feel confident so by all means, go for it. But don't judge someone else because you choose not to.

This also goes for the girls who say things such as "she's a prude" because someone wears jeans and a cardigan. Just because you decide to dress less conservative doesn't make you "cooler" or "better."

We have to start showing support for each other, all women supporting all women.

So what if sis has on a cute top that accentuates her curves? Tell her she looks good and move on. If sis has on a maxi dress with a sweater, tell her she's beautiful and move on. Have something positive to say to everyone, especially your fellow woman. It's hard to find confidence in today's society, we can't make everyone happy. There are so many cruel people out there that will put you down for the clothes that are on your body. Don't be one of those. Be kind.

Yes, it is 2020 and girls do find it appealing to wear a see-through shirt with a bralette, smile and move on. Maybe last week someone told her that her breasts were too small, and she felt insecure and now she's showing the world that she's not flat chested, and that okay. Don't say degrading things to women if you don't want them to retaliate. And they are not degrading themselves by flaunting, there is nothing about the human body to be embarrassed about.

Men, especially men, stop degrading woman for the way a woman chooses to dress. It's none of your business how she decides to dress, whether it's "too revealing" or "not revealing enough", it has absolutely nothing to do with you. Stop making it about you.

Women, boost each other's confidence. Some days that's all we have, each other.

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.
