This past week, Kim Kardashian took to the internet to post a selfie, something she does quite often. This selfie though caused more controversy than usual; she was naked, again. It started when legendary singer and actressBette Middler started the argument with a tweet that gained controversy. Chloe Grace Mortez, a 19 year actress, took to Twitter as well to declare her problems with the picture. She included how Kim should be a role model to kids and not show this to the public. She did add that she isn't slut shaming because it's bad.

Kim Kardashian is popular, but she's still a human living her life. She's never actively stepped out and declared herself a role model. She did include in a note in response to the outrage saying that showing off her body and sexuality empowers her. Some women like to keep covered up or do their make up a certain way or do something that you just might not agree with. And that's okay. She's always preached that women should do what they feel is better for them and what they love.

Her prominence to stardom began with a sex tape. She's knows it and accepts it. She used that terrible situation to build herself up. She didn't wallow, she sold it for money before it could be online for free. She let people know who she was and made money for it. Years later, Keeping up with the Kardashians premiered on E! Channel. They now are one of the most known families around the world and work hard. You don't have to like her or agree with what she's done, but she is savvy. She has clothing line, perfume, make up, other accessories, relationships with famous designers and many more. She's also quite happy with her husband and two kids. Yes, it probably isn't a good way to come to fame, but she empowered herself by taking control of it. And many years later, her sexuality is something that she wants to show off. Something that can't be taken away.

International Women's Day was celebrated while the controversy generated and it made a statement. But why in 2016 are we questioning the decisions of women who isn't hurting anyone, just do something she wants to do? Which rules of feminism are "right" and "wrong?" Can you call them out for it because you don't agree? I'm not the biggest Kim fan in the world, but uplifting others is something I strive to do. It's something everyone should really try to do, whether they agree with that person's decisions. You don't have to like it; Kim is still going to do as she pleases.

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.
