I Wonder What It's Like To Be Pretty

Because I don't think I know.

I Wonder What It's Like To Be Pretty

I wonder what it's like to be pretty.

Like I really wonder what it's like to be pretty. What it would be like to wake up in the morning looking good instead of looking like you got hit by a bus. What it would be like to walk to class without getting anxious when someone looks at you because you think "Oh, there must be food or something on my face."

I wonder what it's like to go shopping and just have everything go your way. To be able to pull off anything, just because you're so damn pretty that you can just do that. I wonder what it's like to get ready to go out. That must be, like, incredible. I want to know how it feels to get ready to go somewhere feeling 100% confident in how you look.

I wonder what it's like to be the kind of pretty that can post a cute selfie on social media, and have my phone blow up with notifications over it. More importantly, I wonder what it's like to be able to take a cute photo of yourself easily. Or what it feels like to turn heads when you enter a room.

I wonder what it is like not deal with rejection the way I do. How does it feel to like someone and know your looks won't be an issue because let me tell you, it is a real knock down on the totem pole confidence when it does happen.

I wonder if people feel bad for me when they see me out with my friends. I want to know if they think of me as the designated ugly friend. Sometimes I even think that about myself.

Most importantly, I wonder if anyone sees me and thinks "I wonder what it's like to be pretty."

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.
