Fat bodies are beautiful bodies - fact.

Poetry On Odyssey: Gloriously Fattened

I do not stand here alone - my fat body often the topic of choice for strangers, onlookers, as if I am a circus-run show. This is often how it is for most of us. We are oogled, discussed as if a diagnosis. Thought to be bitches, unmotivated, gross... isn't there anything better they can do with their time? I am so incredibly tired of the mistreatment. Why should I have to fight so hard to be accepted as a human? Fat ambition is just as powerful, fat bodies are just as sexy and glorious, and FAT people will show you that it doesn't matter how often you attempt to tear us down, we will come out victorious.

My skin will always

Illuminate my scars

Self-inflicted

Mutilated

By years of razor-lined

Bullies.

My body will always be a condition

Not a glorious grand piano

Not the standard,

But a condition.

Closed up

Behind walls

Of stereotypes

Self-doubt

And Loathing.

My fatness

Yes,

Fat-ness

Will always be regarded as

Disgusting

Ugly

Unmotivated

Unethical

Pointless

Cretins of hell.

I will always

Be stared at

As if an amalgam.

This meat suit

Lining feathers amungst needles.

Carelessness so easily tossed aside

When truth is harder to believe

If it comes

In size Fat.

My body

An unbridled temple

Gloriously luscious

Supple waves

Curtains and cascades.

Ribbons of cocoa

Line my thighs

And dance to simplicity.

Skin waters dew

Illuminating

When thought to grow depended caverns.

Strawberry-stuffed heart

Of thorns

Brought down

Dough and nut.

Fact.

No.

Fat.

Confidence exuding

Branded along

Rigged lined skin

To prove a point

To exist.

Stand taller

Then what they expect.

Speak louder

So they can hear.

Breathe deeper

To remind your lungs

That you

Are worth the air.

More than the tightened ropes

They wrapped around your throat;

More than the disgust

Distaste

Morbidity.

Fatness

Glorified

Sunsoaked ridges

Do nothing but shine

In the darkness.

We will not change. We will not falter. We will stand taller and show all of you how truly wrong you have been - one sexy, fat body at a time. Oh, and if you take it upon yourself to open your lips to convey how disgusting you think we are, we simply pose this... what is it about yourself that you hate so much for you to act so rudely? When you can answer that, perhaps we will have a better conversation.

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.
