Empowered Women Empower Other Women

We have been socialized as women to compete with each other, and the cycle needs to end.

"The success of every woman should be the inspiration to another. We should raise each other up. Make sure you’re very courageous: be strong, be extremely kind, and above all be humble.” —Serena Williams

When women support each other, incredible things happen. Women are still, by far, the best and most beautiful creatures ever created. Our society spends so much time rallying women against each other by feeding on our insecurities. We need to overcome our personal insecurities and learn to celebrate the accomplishments of other women.

There's a certain type of jealousy that society has taught us to have. The kind that breaks down the bonds of community that the women generations before us fought so hard to build. We have been socialized as women to compete with each other, and the cycle needs to end.

Your time will come. One day, you too will find your passion — and then there will be no stopping you either. By celebrating others, you breed positivity and open yourself up to being inspired. This, in turn, will make you a more passionate, vibrant individual – and those are the kind of people who succeed. When you get to the point in your own life where you are getting the accolades and the recognition, remember how you used to feel. Don’t let it go to your head. It will then be your turn to inspire and empower others.

I want us all to feel powerful, strong, and capable in this life. I am devoted to sisterhood because there are few things more beautiful than women unafraid to be passionate and creative!

Be a strong woman. Stand up. Flex your muscles. Project your voice. Be "too much!" Suddenly forget the role that the world wants you to play. Refuse to be ideas or fantasies. Be breathing, living women threatening to be even better than you could ever be.

Let's inspire and empower women to realize their dreams, plant seeds for a better world, and have fun!

Here's to strong women. May we know them. May we be them. May we raise them.

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.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
