When We're Told That Girls Are Worthless

“Can you maybe not wear so much makeup next time? I don’t like it when girls wear too much makeup”.

“Wow, you look dead without makeup on today.”

Woman are soullessly based on their looks and need constant approval from everyone around them that they are physically beautiful. The average woman spends about $15,000 on makeup every year. The idea of a woman’s beauty and self-worth having some type of correlation has been a philosophy that seems to go back to the beginning of time. Woman get surgery and spend thousands to be "beautiful" just so society can approve of them.

A woman’s real self-worth and approval should come from within the woman herself. Her experiences and knowledge should be more of a defining factor than the way she does her hair and blends her makeup. Not only do woman get judged by men this way but also other women. Woman are so much more than a smokey eye and a designer bag. Woman are beautiful for so many other things. Their natural beauty is what defines a woman - her inner self. A woman should be learning everything she can and experiencing all the world has to offer rather than trying to conform to these impossible standards that are set. The woman is not viewed as a worlds natural gift rather as a figure, or a craft for the rest of the world to build and destroy as time goes on.

Women, however, are the creators of nature. Woman are the creators of the physical being. Woman are naturally born with the instinct to care. People do not view woman as such but rather someone who needs to be beautiful rather than educated. Woman are judged solely on their looks and very little judgment is placed on their personality.

We, as people, must look deeper than someone's outer being and not define them as what we cannot see. A story cannot be told without words and every person has a story that deserves to be heard. Instead of treating women like coloring books without a story, we should read into them and analyze them to find out their real meaning and purpose. Every book has a different purpose, job, meaning, and lesson as do women.

As a woman living today, I feel that I am deeply reduced to my looks. I attract boys by my looks, I need to hit at least 100 likes to make sure I'm good enough, and I need someone else to tell me I'm beautiful.

The most important person to give me approval is oneself, but most women do not believe this is true. Oneself is also the hardest person to get approval from.

If everyone was blind and could not see someone we would be forced to talk. People would have to know about each other and ask questions, rather than looking through a series of pictures that tell very little. As times goes on, pictures tell even less, thanks to photoshop.

Women are created for this planet as beautiful human beings with amazing souls, but this is not what people look for - if you have a Gucci bag and full lashes, you are worth more than the Yale graduate in sweatpants.

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.

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.
