From The Girl Who Hated Girls

Well, "hated."

From The Girl Who Hated Girls
She Does The City

All through high school, I was the girl who claimed to hate girls.

I hated how girls were always complaining about their boyfriends liking another girls' picture on Instagram.

I hated how girls started drama with every other girl about the most irrelevant matters, most of which that would mean absolutely nothing in ten years.

I hated how girls were so emotional. So what, you failed a test. You really do not have to cry.

I hated how girls always compared themselves to others. I hated how girls compared everything, and I mean everything. "What brand is your purse?" I mean, come on, does that even matter?

I hated how girls put other girls down because they have longer hair or don't have acne.

I could go on and on. But I'll save your precious time by just saying this... I did not like girls.

Then, I went to an all-girls college. A real smart choice when you "hate" girls, huh? Well, yes. I love it. Going to an all-girls school has really shown me that I don't hate all girls. I have opened my mind a little more, becoming more accepting of others and less like the judgmental girl I claimed to hate.

And it turns out, I do not hate girls. Because not all girls thrive off drama. Not all girls cry twice a day. Not all girls care about who's going where and who's wearing what. Not all girls purposely try to make your life a living hell. That's just some girls.

When I said that I hated girls, I was very wrong. Do I love every single girl I meet? Well, no, I do not. I wish I were that loving. But, I do not hate all girls. In fact, I do not hate any girls. I just strongly dislike a select few. And I think that's okay, too. That is as long as you aren't mean to them. Because, honestly, you aren't going to see eye-to-eye with every person you meet in this world.

So, for those girls out there that claim to hate girls, you don't really. Society just tends to categorize all girls into one group, and we accept the generalization. But, we really shouldn't. Not all girls are the same; most are very different.

Girls can be great; in their own ways. You just have to give each girl a chance. Do not assume that because they are a girl they are overly-dramatic, cry-baby, because chances are they are not. You may even like them!

XO and best wishes,

Ashley Rose Corbin

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.
