To The Plus-Sized Girl In A Regular-Sized World

My size doesn't define me, my heart and mind does.

To The Plus-Sized Girl In A Regular-Sized World

All my life I've never been the same size as the people around me. I've always shopped in the plus sized section of stores. Although I do this, my size in clothing doesn't define me. My body may be bigger than yours but everything inside my body is the same size as yours.

People like to put plus sized girls down and tell them to loose weight just to be able to wear the clothes they do. Has anyone ever thought that some plus sized girls may be happy with their body? Didn't think so. Stop trying to change us, let us be, let us shop in the plus sized section, and don't look at us like we're some type of alien... That's the attitude we have to have; don't worry about my size or the places I shop in but don't judge me when I'm shopping.

With summer coming up, there's something us plus sized girls need to remember- wear that two piece, wear that tank top and shorts. Do what makes you happy, don't hide your body in fear of what others might think. When you learn to accept your body, others will too and that is what matters.

You don't have to be ashamed of your body. Your body is just that-- YOURS. This world shouldn't make you hate the body God gave you; you should accept what you are and realize that just because you are not like the people around you, you are not anything less than perfect.

This life is full of much bigger things to worry about than whether you are a size 2 or a size 22. So eat that doughnut, buy that tank top, show off your curves. Because at the end of the day, your life is your life.

You do you boo, you do you.

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.
