If You Give A Girl A Huge Support System
Maddie Woodruff
"Sometimes we need someone to simply be there. Not to fix anything, or do anything in particular, but just to let us feel that we are cared for and supported."

She can already do anything she puts her mind to, but she doesn't realize it.

She already has her own goals, dreams, and aspirations that she is capable of achieving on her own, but fails to see her own capability.

She doesn't need someone to "fix her" or tell her who to be because who she is can already change the world, but all she see's are her faults.

She is already perfect in her own unique way but continues to wake up wondering if she will ever be enough.

But if you give her a huge support system, you can help her see what she cannot see herself.

We live in a time where people are constantly putting one another down or trying to make others feel small in order to make ourselves feel better. We see people on the internet tearing each other down, trying to make others look bad in order to make ourselves look better. To be truthful, this makes me sad and wonder why people feel the need to hurt others as if it could somehow have a positive outcome. And I cannot understand why people later have the audacity to wonder why she doesn't believe in herself or why she is afraid of chasing her dreams when all around her she is seeing people being told to stay small and quiet. But let me tell you a secret about her; "although she may be little, she is fierce."

She doesn't need you to make her great because she is already great, but on the days when she shy's away from her goals because she fears inadequacy, remind her that you believe in her, and she is capable of anything she sets her mind too. When she shares her ideas with you, don't shoot them down but instead, listen to her and watch her mind wander and race. Sometimes all a person needs is someone to believe in her and to see their greatness even when they cannot. She is no different. She doesn't need you to try and fix her or tell her lies to make her feel better. But just being there for her, sometimes even without words can make all the difference. We all need to be supported. We all need a network of people that will have our backs or stand by us when times get tough, we all need a support system to make us believe in ourselves even on the worst days.

So let me give you some advice about her. When you see her struggling, be there simply to sit with her even when no words are spoken. Never try to change her or make her feel small for who she is. Support her dreams, her goals and who she wants to be. Give her the support she needs and I promise you she will change the world.

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.

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.
