Stop Judging People Based On How They Look

Slut shaming needs to stop.

We all do it. We see a girl walking down the street in shorts and a crop top and automatically try and figure out her life. We can't. So we label her as a "whore" or a "slut" and carry on.

Well, it needs to stop.

Just because a girl is showing a little bit of skin does not give you the right to label her and think that you know about her life.

Maybe it's hot out or maybe she is confident in her own skin. That should not be a crime.

Rape culture plays such a big part in this. Stop asking them "Well what were you wearing?" as if wearing a certain shirt justifies rape. Just because a girl is showing a little bit of skin does not mean she is asking for it. She is not asking to be violated. She is not asking to be judged. She is asking to be accepted.

This goes for guys as well. What they wear somehow determines their sexuality to strangers.

Just because a guy likes to look nice and not wear all black everyday, does not automatically mean that he is gay. it could mean something as simple as he wants to look nice.

I do not know how many times I have heard from parents that a girl is a slut just because her stomach shows a little.

Parents; stop feeding into this culture and set an example for your kids. If your daughter wants to wear a "scandalous" shirt every now and then, do not slut shame her because then that makes it okay for others to slut shame her. If your son wants to look nice and try a new store, do not question his sexuality because then others will think that they have the right to do so.

Judging others simply based off of what you see them wear is absolutely absurd and this constant ridicule from society needs to stop.

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.

I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
