To The Girl Who Hates Her Own Reflection

It is beauty and not an ounce less.

To the girl who hates what she sees when she looks in the mirror,

Man, I wish I could be your mirror. I wish I could show you just how beautiful you are. I wish I could take every insecurity away. I wish I could show that each scar, each flaw, and each mistake are loved by someone so much greater than you.

I know that most have read the verse, Psalm 139:14 "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." Have you ever really thought about that? YOU are HIS work. His work as in, the God who created the heavens and the earth, yeah He made you. He not only made you, it states in Genesis 1:27 that He created you in His own image. As in, the image of GOD.

He wants you to be His bride and He knows how much you are worth. Never settle for someone who thinks your worth is little or nothing. Never let yourself stoop so low that you think no one could love you, because I would love to show you someone who adores you. Girl, you are flawless in the eyes of your maker.

Now, this applies to a lot of aspects of women's lives. Meaning that if you call someone else ugly or make fun a certain part of their body, you are in a way making fun of the image of Christ. This applies to the girl in the mirror as well. Next time you make a remark about a flaw on your body, remember that God created you in His image. An image that is perfect, holy. flawless, and beautiful.

This is an image that you can get. This is an image that you can own and wear proud so easily. It is a gift that overflows into joy because happiness can not be contained inside of you. I pray that each girl finds the confidence she needs because you truly are beautiful and I wish I could tell each of you that to your face.

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.

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.
