Society causes unnecessary insecurities for women.

How Lady Gaga's Performance Brought Shed Light On The Evils Of Society
ABC News

Women have always struggled for years and years on how they are supposed to look, what they are supposed to wear, how they are supposed to speak, and what they are supposed to do. Society has always made it impossible for women to be comfortable with who they are. The most recent example of how society has made its cruel strike at women is Lady Gaga’s Super Bowl halftime show this year.

There were many people who were rapidly posting tweets about Lady Gaga during and after her performance. Many were about how impressed they were with her performance, but sickeningly enough there were many tweets on how she looked. Multiple tweets brought up her stomach, which in their eyes was “flapping everywhere” and “hanging over her shorts."

However, if you missed the halftime show, she looked ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. Not one person had the right to say the cruel things they did about her on social media and not one person has the right to say cruel things about anyone’s body image. Not only do people not have the right to say something about anyone’s body image, but they also have no right to talk down on anything someone enjoys, wears, or does. As innocent as someone may think their words are, girls take everything to heart and think about it over and over and over again. It takes a mental toll on women and it seems to be as though many people don’t remember how much words can hurt.

It’s extremely sad to see girls at such a young age think that they are incapable of doing certain things or that they have to be stick then to be considered “pretty.” Many girls grow up thinking this way because of how society treats women. I hope that one day all women will see how strong, beautiful, and inspiring they are and that all stereotypes of women have vanished. Everyone should be able to feel comfortable in their own skin and be proud of anything they do, so for those who thought it was acceptable to ridicule Lady Gaga after her incredible performance, it’s not and you should be extremely ashamed of yourself.

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.
