No make-up can hide this

What really defines "ugly?" With age, I don't think that it's just looks anymore. Of course everyone sits on their own level of attractiveness, but the quirks or qualities of someone’s personality can really enhance or detract from their physical beauty. I've never been able to click with people with boring personalities, the lack of being able to converse and take a joke. No matter how actually good looking you are, if your attitude sucks, your face might as well, too.

So what really makes a person "ugly?"

Cockiness vs. Confidence. I know we're all familiar with this one. There's really nothing attractive about someone that trounces around like they can have and get whatever they want. Confidence is being comfortable in your own skin and not feeling threatened by others, which, on the other hand, is totally attractive.

Open mindedness for me is a biggie. There isn't someone more ugly than someone who braces their opinions onto others. Someone that believes their opinion is always right and everyone else's opinions don't matter. Not being able to walk a mile in someone else's shoes or trying to understand where someone else is coming from pretty much makes you a close minded freak. Good luck continuing through life that way.

Negative Nancys -- I'm sure we all know a few. Some people just have a way of sucking all the positivity out of any situation. They are unhappy or angry about everything. Negative energy spreads like wildfire, and that certainly can make the most attractive people, well unattractive.

No one likes a Nosey Nancy either, people that somehow always manage to stick their nose into places where it doesn't belong. There's a difference in being interested and being nosey. We'd all be better off if we minded our own business.

Then, there are the narcissists, egotistical and conceited. Always desperate for the spotlight and sucking all the attention towards them. Monopolizing conversations and having the utmost controlling personalities. Certainly not pretty. Although there is healthy vanity, those with a good head on their shoulders, knowing the good and bad things about themselves, in which they are willing to work on.

And finally, selfishness. People who demonstrate a complete disregard for others. Never interested in anyone else's agenda or well being and certainly never thinking of the affects their actions will bring to others. These are the people that don't think twice about bringing other's down to hoist themselves up. Try being a little more selfless, talking less and listening more. People with honest interest are great listeners, curious an genuinely interested in others.

I believe the most beautiful people are the ones that are open and have the ability to bring the best out in others. The ones filled with humor and with a deep love for life. Embracing everyone around them with positivity and with interest to listen. No matter what body type or face shape, hair color, eye color or even what clothes they wear. A beautiful mind and soul mean far more than a beautiful face.

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.

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.

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.
