I have been a Victoria's Secret fan since I was old enough to purchase my first bra. I would attend all their sales in high school, waiting in line for hours to pick up my next black lace bra or overpriced black leggings. I even had a Pink credit card since I was a store regular.

Recently, the Chief Marketing Officer of L Brands, the company that owns Victoria's Secret made a statement that the company would never consider redefining their image of a perfect woman "because the show is a fantasy." As a woman who idolized the airbrushed models plastered across the screens of my adolescence, young adults selling me "up two cup size" bras at sixteen to try to help me feel as beautiful as everyone said these girls were... I'm starting to realize that this fantasy is actually a nightmare.

The truth is I will never be a Victoria's Secret model, but why is that such a bad thing? Why do we keep telling women what they need to look like instead of asking them what they want to look like?

I was hesitant to branch out of my Victoria's Secret comfort zone but after a few clicks and experimentation... I started to find the things that I wanted to wear that represented the woman that I wanted to be, compared to who I thought I should be in order to be considered 'beautiful'.

Luckily, there are multiple of high-quality and affordable brands out there who believe all women are beautiful. And these brands will help you remember that you are too.

1. ASOS

This user-friendly website has almost every bra size with hundreds of styles to fit your wants and needs. Plus, they also have comfy sleepwear and robes.

2. Savage X Fenty

Rihanna shook our world with an ICONIC makeup collection, and now she bringing back the fire with an incredible lingerie line. She evens offers a membership program so you never forget to treat yo'self.

3. Aerie

Aerie's new REAL campaign is exactly what the lingerie industry needs. Plus, how cute is that bra?

4. Soma

Soma is for the girl who doesn't need the razzle-dazzle to feel sexy. Their comfy pieces bring out your best self every time.

5. True & Co

True and Co is a lingerie company focused on empowering woman. Who doesn't love that? If you're not exactly sure which style to try first, take their super easy quiz.

6. H&M

YES! You're already favorite store sells gorgeous bras, underwear, bralettes and more! Plus, they're super cute.

7. Urban Outfitters

If you're a little bold and prefer to swim against the tide, then this is the online store for you. They are not your traditional bra and panty store, but you're probably okay with that.

8. TopShop

Similar to Urban Outfitters, TopShop is for the kind of girl who never really liked the traditional nude bra anyways. Plus, who doesn't love a good matching bra and panty set? Oh yeah, they have lots of those.

9. Lulus

If you're more of a bralette kind of girl, then this is the place for you. They have tons of colorful looks and great styles for you to choose from.

10. Torrid

Ladies with those curves, unite! Torrid is the place for you. Their lingerie is gorgeous and perfect for the ladies with a lot to love.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
