Summer is here and along with the sweat, sunshine and sand comes models telling you you have to look unnaturally fake to even exist.

As a full time model and fitness expert, I thought I would do my part in educating the public, or the normals, on the steps in takes to succeed in losing the extra pounds of fat.

Juice cleanse and Instagram ads

Mmm, nothing is more delicious than a $12 drink!

Every fit person's secret is a juice cleanse, and along with hunger suppressant lollipops and those gummy bears from the Kardashians, you are ready to go with scientifically-backed diet starters. Hey, if everyone else jumps, you should too!

Magical beginnings

This is you after one apple. #science

Now that the internet says it's okay to eat anything besides juice, pick yourself up after you've passed out. It's time to start dieting. The beginning of a diet is marvelous; everyone loves creating a realistic plan. You will look like Gal Gadot in 3 days. You have to, because that's how diets work.

Cheat day

Just a bite

Okay, so you don't look like a Victoria's secret model after one meal. What now? Cheat day!!!

You deserve this

Okay, so your first cheat day was yesterday after starting your diet. You're only on your third day, but you made it past your diet of a kale smoothie, so you deserve that 500 cal frappe. It's all about the self care, my friend, as long as self care means doing whatever you want.

Quitting

You failed. How did this not work? From juice fasts to starbucks you did what every model seems to be doing, what's wrong with you? What could you try next? You can eat less and exercise more in a healthy capacity-- but like, where is that on your instagram feed?

I am by no means trying to demean anyone trying to lose weight, but there are so many normalized problematic habits in our society that deals with food. I've found that many teenagers are looking for an easy fix, which often leads to starvation or harmful fad diets like juice cleanses. When these ultimately fail, many turn to binging which is just as harmful at times. Instead, we as a society need to realize that models not only are very lucky genetically but it is there job to be fit and beautiful. For the rest of us, put it farther in the back of your mind, and take organized, often slower steps to health. Love yourself first through your steps to health. You can do this.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
