"I am different...And different changes the world."

To The Girl Who Is Not Society's Definition Of Beautiful

I remember being in high school and always wondering why God didn't make me to be the "typical" beautiful girl. Ya know, the one with the flawless face & perfect hair. At least one person always comes to mind when descriptions like that are used. One day, I went to a talent casting call and a friend talked me into going in for the modeling portion as well. That day, a casting director told me something I will never forget. I watched as all the girls I considered beautiful were walking away without a callback sheet. Yet somehow, I had one in my hand. I was a little concerned and asked the lady, "why did you pick me, when those other girls fit the role better?" She looked at me and said, "Those girls all look the same. They have the same facial features, same body, and same fake confidence. But you are different, and different is what changes the world."

That last part really hit me. My high cheekbones and weirdly shaped nose really aren't what every girl has ... but it is what makes me who I am. Just like the unique parts of you make you who you are. If we all looked the exact same, life would be pretty boring. God sculpted each one of us to look a certain way...and God doesn't make mistakes. It's really interesting to think that the God of the universe, who has total control over who is put on earth, decided that the world needed to see you and your beautiful, talented self. So the next time you look in the mirror, don't let your first thought be, "I wish I could change my..." Change your mindset to say, "I am different... And different changes the world." Now, go slay like the queen that you are.

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.
