Maroon 5's 'Girls Like You' Music Video makes my heart melt

Maroon 5's newest music video to 'Girls Like You' only came out 2 weeks ago and yet it already has 158 million views. They are known for their unique music videos, such as crashing weddings during their hit, 'Sugar'. However, 'Girls Like You' has already scored million's of people's hearts, especially mine. And here is why.

This music video is known for showcasing many popular female celebrities, journalists, models, and activists, from popular talk show host Ellen Degeneres to Olympic gymnast Ally Raisman. Of course, lead singer Adam Levine even included his wife, Behati Prinsloo. Before watching this video, one would expect all of the featured women to look the same: white skin, blonde hair, skinny, and supermodel-like. I felt the same as well- 'ANOTHER video with the same looking women?' Maroon 5 definitely exceeded my expectations.

'Girls Like You' includes women of ALL races, religions, sizes, and looks. It's so important that everyone sees how much we need diversity, and argues that all women are beautiful. When I looked at all of these women, I saw nothing but pure beauty, and couldn't help but think 'Oh my gosh, she's so gorgeous. I wish I had the confidence she has'.

We need to realize that all women are beautiful. Race, religion, etc. don't matter. Frankly, I applaud Maroon 5 for the decision to include a variety of women, not just the typical women. I believe that more diversity=more power. No matter who we are, we have the ability to change the world and ourselves. All women are strong regardless of the way we look. All women must work together to make a change, to make a difference.

As women, we can not let others look down on us. As shown by all the women featured in the video, they have all been successful. Some are well-known activists. Some are famous comedians. A few are popular authors. Women aren't meant to stay at home to take care of their children and wash the dishes. Women are meant to put themselves out there and show they world what they've got. Women are more powerful than one may think, and this video shows just that.

This is why Maroon 5 made my heart melt. That's another point for them in my book.

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.
