A model who doesn't constantly edit herself is one that we all can appreciate. Who could really dislike that? She's intelligent, strong-willed, and doesn't take anyone's drama.

1. Doesn't Edit

For real, how many models do you know of that completely do not retouch their photos. Personally, that is something I love because, how can you relate to someone if they don't even look real. Not retouching is so significant in a time where so many people struggle with positive body image.

2. Intelligent

Not only is Iskra beautiful, she is intelligent! Iskra is the managing editor at Runway Riot. Runway Riot is a fashion, style, and beauty site that celebrates women of all shapes and sizes. If I see one thing I love most, it is that she is not just someone who poses for pictures.

3. Brand Ambassador

At a younger age, Iskra struggled with accepting her body, so now she is a brand ambassador for the National Eating Disorder Association. Iskra is such a caring person, and you simply could not ask for more from a brand ambassador.

4. Dropped

As stated, Iskra knows all about body struggles. At the young age of 15, Iskra was dropped from her modeling agency. She was told her hips were too wide while also being told her hips were too small for a plus size model. I bet those people are weeping now because Iskra has become such a positive influence in the modeling world.

5. Takes Criticism with Grace

When fat-shamed for flaunting her curves on social media, Iskra responded that it doesn't matter what others think-- it matters what you think. You decide your happiness. She didn't become petty; she rose above the negative comments.

6. Before and After

Iskra has shared before and after pictures, but not your typical ones. She shared a picture when she was young and much thinner but said how unhappy she was mentally. Then, she showed a picture of her now and stated how much happier she is.

7. BODY CONFIDENCE

Need I say any more?! Iskra Lawrence has awesome confidence and spreads this so quickly with people. She has not helped only me but many others truly just be more confident and live the best life.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
