My Response to Jennifer Aniston's, "For the Record"
www.huffpost.com

For those of you who do not know, but I assume most of you do, Jennifer Aniston has been a prominent figure in the entertainment industry since the beginning of the 90’s. From her iconic role as Rachel Green on Friends, to her greatest movie roles, to her beautiful face and figure, she has always been in the public eye. The news that has revolved around her for some time has come with its ups and downs. The rumors have been genuinely ridiculous at some points but she has always been someone people have looked up to. Recently, however, she wrote an article on the Huffington Post called “For the Record.” The piece revolves around her tiredness with the media always believing she’s pregnant when an unflattering picture of her is released. She speaks about how tabloids and gossip sites portray women in this light that they have to be married, with children, and a perfect body to be happy. Yet, she says that could not be more than wrong and uses herself as an example.

This article by one of my favorite people on this planet inspired me so much that I had to speak about it. As a young woman, even though I am not famous, there is so much pressure. I always feel that I have to be thin to be happy but I don’t think that will ever change. It has been one of the main reasons that my confidence is frayed. I don’t see myself as the most beautiful and I don’t think anyone else does but it’s not the way to go through life. Jennifer has made me look into a different light and appreciate who I am. I don’t think this womanly pressure will ever combust but it is important to stop looking at celebrities as examples for what we should look life. Women are all beautiful in their own ways and part of life is finding someone who sees how unique you are.

Jennifer Aniston is my all-time role model. She has always been an amazing person to look up to and I admire her so greatly. This article was something that I know a lot of celebrities wish they could have said and I am so glad that she was the one to do it. Like most famous people, the paparazzi and constant ridicule is something they all get sick of at some points and it is time to stop using these platforms for stupid reasons like how much weight someone gained or who is having trouble in their marriages. Although I will admit, I do read it out of pleasure but I could never imagine being in that position. EVERYONE, especially women, should take notes from Jennifer’s words and appreciate what she has done for so many people.

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.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
