I read an article the other day entitled "Don’t Eat Like Sh*t And 8 Other Ways To Get A Perfect Summer Bod Like Mine" and this is my response.

First off, to the author, you are one cocky little thing. It’s one thing to be confident in yourself, but the way you presented yourself to the world, simply in your headline, indicates that you think a little too highly of yourself. Specifically, it appears you think you are better than anyone who you have deemed as not having “the perfect summer bod” like your own. But here’s the thing, just as my body isn’t perfect, yours isn’t either.

You have this flawed belief that in order to have a “summer bod” you must stop “eating like shit,” “drink water,” and “go to the gym 5-6 days a week.” Yes, doing these things, along with the other points you mentioned is healthy, but what you failed to account for is that every body type is different. Some people may not have a six-pack, but not for lack of trying. Some people may simply be happy with who they are and don’t care what other people think. And some people have medical conditions which make it difficult to almost impossible for them to lose weight and you, my dear, have made every single one of your readers who does suffer from a medical condition like this, feel completely inadequate.

What I want you, and anyone else who reads this to take away from it, is that everyone is beautiful in their own way no matter if they are thin or curvy, tall or short, and all you have to do to have the perfect summer or beach bod, is to go to the beach [or anywhere else] and have a blast with your friends and family.

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.
