On a recent trip to the airport, I was waiting at my gate for my flight when something I saw broke my heart. I overheard two grown women making fun of other women as they passed. Making fun of things like women’s sizes, clothing, makeup or general appearance. This was striking to me and got me thinking about why we as women don’t use that energy to rather than tear one another down, empower one another.

With our culture and media constantly trying to define our self-worth why are woman tearing each other apart?

Why are we not constantly empowering one another and building each other up?

If we as woman supported one another, can you imagine the amazing things that would get done? No more competition or jealousy, rather empowerment.

As females, we should be complimenting each other rather than the constant focus on who is better than who.

Let’s be honest, it never has really been a competition.

It really does not take much to be kind to one another, in fact, I argue it takes a lot more energy to be cruel. We ALL have something unique to bring to the table and we all have different strengths and talents. If we combined all those unique qualities, can you imagine the changes that would be seen in our world?

I think women would be pursuing more leadership, our communities would be strengthened, and women would be seen as equals. Not only should we be practicing radical self-love day after day, but we should also be practicing valuing other women. There is so much negativity that gets thrown at women every day, so we do not need to be adding to the fire by creating more negativity within ourselves.

Build your fellow woman up EVERYDAY. Compliment one another and find role models who are women. Support and cheer for each other and our goals and admirations. Empower your fellow women, because women are amazing beings.

Find common ground and realize that so many of us have scars and brokenness that can be shared to create community together. Respect each other. Laugh with each other. Admire each other’s strengths and be there for each other in times of sadness. Embrace inner beauty rather than being judgmental of each other’s bodies.

Women are truly capable of greatness and with each other’s support, we could change the world.

Plus, fierce lady friendships are just the best.

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.
