Stop Making Assumptions Based On Someone's Size
Word Press

People come in all shapes and sizes. Get over it. It is a part of being a human. The world would be boring if we all looked the same. Some people are bigger than you and some people are smaller; big deal. Some people wear a size 2 and some wear a size 20, does that mean one is worth more than the other? No, it does not. Size. Has. Nothing. To. Do. With. Someone's. Worth. It is that easy. Someone else's weight does not affect you, it does not matter.

Just because a person is bigger or smaller than you shouldn't matter, you should not think any different of them. Society has trained us to value the thin. The "Instagram famous" who edit their photos and go days without eating to maintain that sought after physique. These people are put on a pedestal and are valued over any other body type; causing boys and girls to starve, binge, purge and many other self-destructive behaviors because they do not look like the people in the photos.

Weight is not a measure of worth.

It is hard to realize this but there is no correlation between weight and what kind of person someone is. It is what is on the inside that matters, not the outside.

We need to accept people no matter what. No matter their size, gender, race, sexual orientation or anything else. People are people and all people are worth something. Being curvy does not mean you are more of a real person than anyone else. I have been told that I am not a real woman because of my weight. What does weight have to do with it? It is insulting hearing other people decide what kind of person I am based on my weight.

Saying that a thin person isn't a real person in order to make yourself feel better about your size is incredibly rude and insensitive. Just as a thin person saying that another person isn't pretty because they are bigger. Both are examples of bullying based on someone else's size and one's own insecurities.

Be happy with your size and you will find it is much easier to accept someone else's. Stop making assumptions about a person based on their size. As a society, we are too obsessed with body image and looking "perfect" but there is so much more we can be doing. Learn to be happy with yourself, and you will find you are less bitter about everyone else.

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.
