I Really Want That Swimsuit Body, But I Also Want That Last Slice of Pizza

"New year, new me!" Or so they say...

I didn't really go into 2019 with the intention of losing weight and being one of those people that say, "My new year's resolution is to lose weight and get more healthy!"

I think that should be anyone and everyone's goal ALL YEAR and every year, not just when it comes to making your resolution for New Year's. I can admit that I eat pretty shitty. Being a college student, I like convenience, and if I have an hour between classes, I'm not going to go home and make a full course lunch when I can drive down the street to Rocky Rococo's Pizza or McDonald's and just pick something up to quickly eat so I'm not starving and causing my stomach to growl during my long lecture.

I decided to get my ass into shape when I realized that fitting into jeans was a huge struggle for me. I wanted to be able to wear jeans that wore at the hip, not high waisted.

Although I do love my high waisted jeans, they're super comfy. But, I wanted to be able to feel comfortable wearing jeans and not just resort to wearing leggings all the time.

When I say my wardrobe is 99.9% leggings, I'm not lying.

I own more pair of black leggings than the average human should.

The process of getting yourself in shape and at a healthy state is more than just hitting the treadmill and running miles on end, it requires so much more than that. After watching hours upon hours of people's weight loss journeys and what they did to lose weight in months, I wanted to kick my ass into gear and show that I was capable of doing this.

I cut back on the fast food I ate, cut back on the sugars, and nowadays, all I drink is water, no cravings for juice or milk whatsoever. I even decided to go to the gym four to five times a week and work full body and cardio.


WHY NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS ARE USELESS - and what you should do insteadwww.youtube.com


I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants that sculpted, perfect, slim body that'll look fabulous in a bikini, but in all honesty, it's pretty hard to achieve that and it takes time.

No magic potion or pill is gonna make it cure and melt all your fat off in one night. It just isn't scientifically possible or healthy for your body at all. Trust me, I've tried looking, nothing is gonna make the fat dissolve off of you with a snap of your fingers.

I wish it was that easy, because I want to be able to rock a cute swimsuit or a cute pair of shorts and not have to worry about chub rub and my thighs being irritated as I walk around all day wishing to sit down and cry in pain and agony (If you know, you know).

So what I'm trying to get at is, even though you want that really delicious slice of pizza, you have to tell yourself when to stop and focus on your body. Stop going to Taco Bell at 2 a.m. because it's convenient, stop going to McDonald's during lunch because you don't feel like going home and making yourself a nice salad with fresh veggies.

Make something that'll make you feel good when you're done eating it, not feeling like you're bloated like Violet Beauregard from "Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory." It's better to feel good on the inside, not feeling like you're going to spend the evening on the toilet. But hey, you do you.

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.
