A Love Letter To My Body
Emilee Nulsen

Thank you.

Thank you for sticking with me even when I put you through hell.Thank you for always telling my heart what it needs when my mind isn't sure. And thank you for being absolutely perfect at any size.

And I'm sorry.

I am sorry for saying such horrible things about you that I would never even say about my worst enemy. I'm sorry for depriving you of what you needed. I'm sorry for putting you through so much.

You have carried me through this life without faltering or failing. You have grown strong and shown me that your size doesn't matter as long as you feel good mentally and physically.

You have carried me through the highest highs and the lowest lows. You have endured everything life has thrown at you. You have loved me and made me more confident than I could have ever imagined.

No matter where I am in life, I know you will be there, like you always have, pushing me to move forward and continue to progress.

I know some days I hate you for no reason, but I promise to start putting you first. I promise to love you even on my worst days. And I promise to see you as you are, not through the distorted lens of my mind.

Thank you for being patient on this journey of self love. Thank you for forgiving my evil thoughts. Thank you for continuing to push through life with me. Thank you for doing your part in making me who I am and who I have always needed to be.

You have taken me up mountains. Slowly but surely, we got there together. And I will continue to nourish and support you as we continue this life together. I can't wait to see what incredible things we can accomplish.

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.

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.
