I'm a Proud Feminist...
The Huffington Post

Being a female is some tough shit. There are men still saying that we can’t do this and that, but that we must be a woman, who is nurturing and loving, and of course, having to be in the kitchen. There are women who say that of course women need to learn to cook, and stay home with the babies, and take care of the house.

Then there are people who say women have to be in the workforce and have no place in the home at all. This is a new era, no one belongs at home, hiding in the dark!

And then there are individuals such as myself. I believe that women should be able to do whatever the hell they want. You want to stay home with your babies and your cat? Okay. You want to cook and clean instead of being in the corporate world? You do you, boo boo. You want to go to college and earn a degree that will take you to far places? You go girl!

See, the truth of the matter is this: I believe in feminism. Feminism is NOT saying that women are better than men and that men can eat shit. Feminism is NOT saying that women are the gift of God. Feminism is saying that men and women were made equal and should be treated that way. Pay raises should be the same. If a man wants to stay home while a woman works, fine. Its their choices to do what they want.

So, my message is this: leave it alone and live YOUR life. Not the neighbor’s life, or the cats, or the postman’s, or even your significant other’s. Do what you think you should do, whatever that is and whatever it may be.

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.

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.
