There Should Be No Such Thing As A "Bikini Ready" Body

No matter what size, weight, or height you may be, you are beautiful.

With summer rolling around, swimsuits and shorts coming out of the closet and the "get the bikini body" ads coming up all over social media platforms, it can be very overwhelming.

There is always this pressure whenever summer is about to approach. People start shuffling into the gym and squeezing in workouts to get the body that is "beach-ready" and "Instagram" worthy.

Trust me, I get it.

You want to feel confident, and going to the gym can be a part of that process, which is so awesome. Working towards your health with exercising is always beneficial. But I believe that every single body is beach ready and Instagram worthy.

No matter what size, weight, or height you may be, you are beautiful. Show off the cellulite and the stretch marks; it shows that you are a living human being. These are all natural parts of our body that we shouldn't try to hide.

Show off all your curves because you were perfectly made this way. All of the beautiful parts of you make you so unique.

Because honestly, what is a "bikini-ready" body? What we see on TV or on the front of stores? What society is portrayed as the right "bikini-ready" body?

Hell no, women are beautiful in every form. To have society show us that the only way we should be is skinny and toned with a six-pack is not what we should be following.

We should be following the path of feeling good in our own skin, loving ourselves entirely, and showing it all off in any way we want. Do you want to wear a one-piece? Go ahead. You want to wear a bikini? Go ahead.

It is your damn life and your damn body.

How you choose to flaunt it is all up to you but, trust me, you got a body that is worth showing off.

So take a million Instagram pictures and show your body off in any way you want. Just remember to love yourself and know that you are beautiful and perfect the way that you were made.

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.

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.
