The Girl That Can't Gain Weight

Just because I can't gain weight, doesn't mean I'm not eating.

Yes, I'm that girl, and quite frankly it gets annoying.

I may not look it, but I eat all of the time. Getting questioned "do you eat?" 24/7 is really annoying. Yes, I do eat, I just can't gain weight. I constantly eat food, but you'll never be able to tell. Food is my favorite thing, but you're so quick to judge. Just because I may not be 200 pounds, or even 150, does not mean I don’t eat the way I'm supposed to.

Just like the obese, the skinny get offended by your annoying remarks too. Not everybody is made to be perfect, we're all made individually as our own person. So, before you ask that 100 pound girl if she eats, maybe take into consideration that she is just as annoyed as you that she cannot gain weight.

I do eat, and I do have meat on my bones, it's just not enough for your liking, and for that, I will never apologize. It's just as hard finding clothes being a 100 pound eighteen year old, as it is being 300 pounds. It’s no where near fun, and the remarks get old, fast.

Truthfully, nobody is perfect, and you're probably not as perfect as you think you are, make sure to think about others feelings first. We are human too, believe it or not. We try to eat more, just to gain weight-- bet you'd never believe that. Treat everybody equally and the way you'd want to be treated, because we didn't choose this life, this life chose us.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. 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:

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
