Stop The Slut Shaming

Us girls need to have each other's back.

Stop The Slut Shaming

Recently, one of my fellow Belles was asked to make a campaign for something using a digital component. She decided to start a compliment chain where girls would send a favorite picture of themselves to her via Facebook. She would distribute those pictures to another girl who agreed to participate. Each girl would receive a stranger, but they were to write a short note to them anonymously either complimenting them, encouraging them or just a positive thought. When I saw this scrolling through my feed the other day, I thought to myself what a wonderful idea that was.

I know many, myself included, have or have had confidence issues whether it be with our body, our skin, our hair, they way we laugh and so many other things. Seeing a kind comment from another girl we may look up to or from someone we don't know could change someone's mood drastically.

I know we girls can be nasty to each other: whether it be jealousy, insecurity or what have you. We all have either been the perpetrator or on the receiving end one time or another. But, why do we have to be so mean?

Instead of shaming that girl for having a nice body (because she probably works hard for it everyday), tell her that she looks nice in that dress. Instead of scolding a girl for wearing too much makeup, tell her that her eyebrows are on point. We girls get enough ridicule from society as it is.

Spread a little love. The world could use some right now.

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.

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.
