I Have Always Been Fat, Yet Not Fat Enough

Let me explain.

I Have Always Been Fat, Yet Not Fat Enough

Let me explain because it sounds pretty confusing but it's not.

Ever since I was young I've always had a weight problem. I've always been made fun of for my weight. It used to get to me but now I'm fine.


I can remember being like 10 or something and going to the mall with my family to get new clothes. I was always so excited because I went to a private school so when I got to buy new 'street clothes' it was the way I could express myself.

But I didn't know style if it slapped me in the face. I went to the girls' section and of course, with my lil belly, I had to get the XL clothes to try on. It was never so simple as just finding something I liked and getting it.

I always had to try it on because some things fit better than others. So I had my girls 14/16 camo monkey shirt which came with the cutest necklace. I tried it on and it stuck to every roll I had. But this was an XL, how could it not fit me?? I had the same one in a different color at home.

This has always been an issue for me, but now it's more frustrating because every store and brand within the store for different. I can wear a medium in Pink leggings but an XL in Nike leggings.


One of my favorite places is Target. They have the cutest clothes and I'm obsessed

I love going to Forever 21 and Agaci because they have cute rompers and bodysuits. I try on an XL and it's too small. So I go to the plus size (they have the cutest stuff there) I get a 0x or maybe a 1x. They're way too big.

Wait what? But the XL was too tight.. how does the plus size stuff not fit me?? This isn't possible. I thought I couldn't fit into the regular sizes, so I found some cute stuff in the plus size section and I was super excited. But they're all way too big on me?
This is when I realized I'm in between sizes. But not only sizes, sections.

The point of this is: just stick to target rompers and oversized t-shirts. Get a 2XL shirt.

Nobody can tell if you're fat, skinny(well to a certain extent), pregnant or anything, but they do know that you are comfy af.

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.
