A Letter To Every Woman

Being a woman is about more than having long hair, wearing a dress, or getting your period at 13. It is about more than baking a cake, doing your makeup, and even having a child. Being a woman is about strength.

Somewhere down the road we have forgotten the strength we have acquired from the generations of women before us. We have forgotten that our life may not be written by Nicholas Sparks, but it has been written by someone better. We have forgotten that being beautiful doesn't mean you have to have a certain color hair and fit in a certain size of Lilly shorts. But more importantly, we have forgotten to love ourselves.

We live in a world where we have idolized love stories and find ourselves waiting for our prince charming to come in a nice car with a degree paying big bucks, telling us over and over again that we are beautiful, and he loves us. However, if there are two things every girl needs to remember, they are this:

1. You were beautiful long before he told you so.

2. You are loved more than he could ever love you.

Whether it is your husband of twenty years who told you you were beautiful and he loved you so, or the older boy on the football team, you as a women need to know this. Your worth is never determined by the number of guys falling at your feet, what your boyfriend tells you, or the number of likes on your latest post.

We live in a world where complementing yourself is seen as "cocky." In high school, I will always remember two girls gossiping about their friend in the bathroom who said she loved her eyes. They giggled "she is SO cocky." We need to be as proud to wear confidence every day as we are to wear our monogram necklace. We need to let other women never feel ashamed for noticing their beauty. We need to learn to praise other women for loving themselves and seeing their beauty. We do not need to depend on any man to do that for us.

We were created by an artist greater than Pasco who loves us more than Brad Pitt loves Angelina Jolie. We are more beautiful than any stud can describe, and you should never depend on a guy to tell you how amazing, loved, and beautiful you are.

Walk with your head high knowing that you are beautiful and loved everyday; and not because you have your prince charming telling you that or not, but because your Creator hand-crafted you in His image with a purpose greater than the hot stud in your math class telling you that you are beautiful.

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.
