The point of Selena's song was to promote self-love, not hate on other women.

Selena's Song Has Nothing To Do With Hailey, Stop Pretending It Does

The release of Selena Gomez's new song, Lose You To Love Me, has sparked much controversy regarding particular lyrics in the song and whether or not they are attempting to dig at Hailey Bieber (Baldwin). Very shortly after Selena released the breakup song, Hailey posted a screenshot of Summer Walker and Jhene Aiko's song, "I'll Kill You."

The media started roaring at this, jumping to conclusions that Hailey's post was a dig at Selena's song, which was a dig at Hailey. This just isn't the case. Some are arguing that Selena's live feed presence addressing the issue was all about preserving her media presence and reputation, but that's simply not the case.

Whether or not Hailey posted the song on her Instagram story as a way of digging at Selena, Selena's song was simply about getting over a bad breakup and learning to love yourself after someone made it seem like you're impossible to love. Her song emphasizes self-love and empowerment and was not intended to be a malicious song used to offend or demote others, and so everyone needs to stop making it out to be as such. The only reference in Selena's song which can be linked to Hailey is when she says, "in two months you replaced us." The only person Selena takes a stab at in her new song is Justin, and it has nothing to do with Hailey other than the fact that she happened to be her replacement.

Fans and the media need to accept that Selena's song is solely about learning to find yourself after a bad breakup and that sometimes it may take a while, but a bad breakup may be what one needed to be able to find themselves again and love themselves more than they ever had.

Coming from a similar breakup situation to Selena's, I personally attest that this song is about showing Justin and the world that she is now better than ever and that though the breakup hurt her, it made her even stronger than she ever was. Selena is and always has been an extremely kindhearted, caring, and loving person, and she deserves to be treated as such. Many people experience similar feelings to those portrayed in Selena's song after a breakup, and so we should all leave the Selena-Hailey drama alone and support Selena for her ability to find self-love again and support all of the hard work and vulnerability which she put into this song for the world to relate to.

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.

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.
