Here's A Reminder To You And Everyone Else In Your Life: You Are Priceless And Cannot Be Replaced

You walk up to the full-length mirror. You stand there and look at your reflection. The images of what you see on the television screen and in the magazines run through your mind. You start to pick at every flaw. Too tall, too short, too thin, too big. My ears stick out, I don't have long enough legs, I don't have a six-pack and I have acne on my face. The list goes on and on.

In today's society, we are pressured to look a certain way. It's hard to ignore the 'ideal image' that is around us. We always compare ourselves to one another along with the people that we see on the television screen and in pictures. I'm not trying to knock down anyone who looks like this in any way. I just want to say that no one should have to strive to look a certain way because of what society has told us how we should look. We should not be putting one image above the rest and saying that it's better than every other image out there.

God made each and every one of us differently for a reason. If we all looked and acted like one another, then it would be really boring.

Today, I want to tell whoever is reading this, that you are priceless. No one can ever replace you because God only made one you. No matter what you have heard or what you have seen, I want to tell you today, that you have so much worth. You are worth more than all the money in the world. Don't you forget that. I even have to remind myself sometimes of my worth, and not to compare myself to others because I'm just as guilty as any of us.

You are priceless.

You are irreplaceable.

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.

I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.
