For The Young Girls Idolizing Instagram Models

In our society today, there are many young girls specifically teenage girls who love the social media platform Instagram. The problem that comes with Instagram is the people they follow and look up to. Many teenage girls look at their Instagram feed and see half-naked women or women with the idealized "perfect" body.

I just want to take a moment and say stop. Stop comparing yourself to the 6ft blonde haired woman, that appears to be super happy in her photo. In our society today, women and teens are pressured to look a certain way because the media is telling us what is socially acceptable in our society, but that is not true. Young girls need to see true role models and look up to women who are striving for success not striving for Instagram likes.

There is much more in the world than how many likes you receive on an Instagram post. I know at the ages of (13-18) Instagram seems like the most important social media app, and looking up to women who appear to be "perfect" on the outside is more important because that is what they are choosing to show you on their page and it makes you question your own appearance, and it needs to stop.

If you are a teenager reading this post, I want you to know that you are beautiful the way you are. The women or teens you see on Instagram that appear to have a perfect life, and perfect body is not happiness. Happiness is within and how you are as a person, and if you can keep that in mind, you will realize that your beauty is much more than a surface level of Instagram likes. Because someone who appears to be perfect on the outside is more likely rotten on the inside and that is something you cannot fix. So I am asking for you to stop comparing yourself, stop wishing your life was like there's, and stop idolizing women like this.

You are beautiful just the way you are!

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.
