Nikita Dragun Is Literally The Fantasy

Everyone knows the Victoria Secret Fashion Show is held every year in various cities with the models prepping a month in advance to wear lingerie on the runway. This year major controversy emerged when Chief Marketing Officer, Ed Razek stated in an interview that they sell a fantasy and by including plus size and transgender models the fantasy can fade. In my opinion, growing up all I wanted was to look like a model, and many young girls still try to look like these models that do not accurately represent all body types.

Nikita Dragun, a transgender Youtuber, posted a short snippet of her in lingerie walking around and posing in a mansion. The snippet is similar to the commercial Victoria Secret posts during the holiday season. I prefer Nikita Dragun's video more because it shows that anyone can sell a fantasy not just tall, slender women. Moreover, it disregards that transgender woman are women.

This also goes with plus size woman not being included in the fantasy because they are plus size. The whole show is about promoting the lingerie, so all women should be able to strut in lingerie and sell the fantasy because every individual has their own version of the fantasy. Nikita captioned her Instagram post by saying, "Dear Victoria's Secret, you said trans women can't sell the 'fantasy' so here I am as a TRANS WOMAN selling the FANTASY!" and then added "Everyone is beautifully unique. Embrace your differences. Stand tall in who you are! Live your fantasy and don't let anyone tell you otherwise."

We are in a modern age where acceptance and love for one another should be embraced. Moreover, Savage by Fenty is inclusive to all body types and women and the models are such beautiful women and make the buyer feel more gorgeous and sensual. Thanks to Nikita's post going viral on Instagram and doing interviews for news and magazines she is able to promote self-acceptance and acceptance for transgender women. Hopefully, more plus-size women and transgender women are being included in lingerie runways and for modeling shoots.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
