To The Girl Who Wrote " Don't Eat Like Sh*T And 8 Other Ways To Get A Perfect Summer Bod Like Mine,"

Before I begin, I will go ahead and say that you did have plenty of valid points in your article, I am always looking for new ways to improve my health, whether through diet, exercise or mental/emotional health.

You did have a great workout plan that I plan on trying myself.

I also agree that changing your diet (especially when it comes to breakfast) and substituting other drinks for water are two great ways to get internal and external results.

I also like how you hyped up your readers at the end of the article, reminding them that the only one they should be making changes for is themselves. I used to cut down on calories for the boyfriend that I had (at the time), and it made me absolutely miserable.

I do agree that buying new clothes is an effective way of building confidence and treating yourself after working extra hard.

Despite your valid points, I think you should watch how you are approaching the topic of body image and health.

For starters, including a profane word in your title, the article is both unprofessional and makes the reader feel negatively about themselves. Next time, substitute this line with something more productive, such as, "9 Ways To Improve Your Health Before Summer."

I would also like to point out that there is more to life than having a perfect seasonal body, such as overall health year round.

It's more important to have a healthy body than a skinny body "like yours." One's status as being either big or small doesn't necessarily correlate with their internal health. It might, but it might not.

I know people who look like you that eat nothing but junk food and hardly ever exercise. They may be thin, but they are not healthy.

I also know people who are a bit bigger that eat healthy and exercise constantly. They are healthy.

There are multiple possibilities as to why someone might be a bit bigger. They might have PCOS, genetic factors might come in to play (especially for me), they might be taking a certain medication that triggers weight gain, etc.

I'm not saying your article isn't good; I do think you were trying to be helpful. I would just like to tell you that you should watch your approach when talking about certain topics.

We should all strive to improve our health to the best of our abilities, but let's keep in mind that internal health is more important than body image.

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.
