You'll Never Be A Kardashian And The Truth Is, That's A Good Thing

Sorry, not sorry.

The billboards and magazines are covered with their flawless faces and plastic bodies. Perfect makeup, perfect lips, perfect hourglass. But that's not what a normal, average, everyday woman looks like. We have bumps and scars and stretch marks that we don't have the money or will to hide. We don't have to nor can we pour our money into fixing every so-called flaw on our bodies.

And that's okay.

Our bodies grow and stretch and heal to keeps us alive and moving.

You don't need to achieve perfection to be beautiful.

We all have our uniqueness to make us attractive. Your beauty can't be taken away from you because of a few scars or freckles. It is the very essence of you. You are beautiful. Your crooked smile, your love handles, your freckles. They are all beautiful.

As young women especially we are pressured to conform to the societal standards of beauty. And most of us, at some point in our lives, blindly believe and try to fit society's definition of what a woman should look like. But why? Why does society force standards upon us that most women can never fit? It is being elitist, preferring and praising European features over those of other nationalities and ethnicities. Preferring skeletal figures over strong and real ones.

By the time we even start to see the flaws of society, its poisonous ways of thinking have already infiltrated us. And we push against them every day but sometimes, the poisons surpass the antidote of our minds and make us feel like we aren't good enough or that something is wrong with us.

But no matter how hard it gets, no matter how much we allow the poison to cause us suffering, we must always keep fighting. We can't let these stupid, unreachable standards deny us our right to feel worthy and 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.

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.

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.
