It's been a few days since National Nude Day, but it's never too late to celebrate our beautiful bodies. Our human bodies are absolutely incredible. They are the vessels of our hearts and souls, never forget it.

Body positive affirmations can transform your mindset, and, I promise, you will see, feel, and experience the difference in your life. Your thoughts shape everything, how you react, how you feel, how you communicate. Repeating these bold, powerful statements, will help you actually believe in yourself and your body.

Keep in mind that sometimes it's hard to jump from negative self-talk right to positive ones. Feel free to think of neutral statements about your body and go from there. For instance, some neutral mantras include, "I am human," "I can tolerate my body," and "My body is strong and houses essential organs."

Start with body acceptance. I know, I know, it's easier said than done. But with time, you will witness a mindset shift and begin to love, respect, and admire your body. Maybe you'll join me and participate in National Nude Day one year!

1. My body deserves to be loved and taken care of 

2. I will treat my body with respect, as I do with my friends

3. My body is my home and I will build it up, not tear it down

4. I am human, and to be human means to be imperfectly perfect

5. I love the person staring back at me

6. I trust that my body knows what it needs

7. My worth is not defined by my weight, body size, or body type

8. Every body is beautiful

9. My body helps me move, walk, dance, and do my favorite things 

10. Me and my body have a purpose in this world 

11. I accept myself as I am right now 

12. No matter what society says, me and my body will always deserve respect 

13. My body is powerful and strong. It can do so much 

14. I am HOT with a capital "H"

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.

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?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
