I'm A Size 2, But...

Everybody has a body story.

I'm A Size 2, But...

Society today makes us believe that we have to be a certain size and shape to fit the ideal body. Women's bodies are all different and shouldn't be put into a specific box. We have to remember that everyone of any size has gone through a journey with their bodies over the years.

I'm a size 2, but...

I used to not be. Some people used to be of a different size then what we see. We shouldn't body shame someone for being larger or smaller because we don't know their story. I know exactly what it feels like, thinking that you need to "fit the mold."

I'm a size 2, but...

But I'm not always confident. Sometimes I still see my old self in the mirror. And it's hard to get out of that rut when you were there for years. Don't assume that once someone becomes their desired weight that they no longer see their past selves.

I'm a size 2, but...

I'm not perfect. I still have body fat and parts that I wish would get slimmed down. Some days the same clothes don't fit right. I will never fit the "box" and have a flat stomach. Although these are factors, I am still very proud of where I have come compared to the past.

I'm a size 2, but...

But not all size 2's fit me. All stores do NOT size the exact same way. They are there to make you feel better about yourself. Yes, sometimes a 3/4 or a 5/6 so who really knows what actual size I am?

From now on we will continue to see body sizes differ and change. But whatever the new fad maybe, remember that you are here to keep your body healthy, there should be no size to your health; you could be a size 0 or a size 14 or anything in between. Love your body and if you feel negative towards it, YOU are the only one in charge of that, so don't listen to what anyone else has to say about it.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.
