You're Perfect

You're perfectly made, please don't hate yourself.

You're Perfect

When you look in the mirror I know it can be hard to love everything about yourself. Especially when it comes to the blemishes on your face, the splits in your hair, and the cracks in your lips. However I can not express this enough, you're perfect.

When we think of the world's view on ideal beauty what do you usually think? I would like to assume that you think the same way that I do. I think of a tall, skinny, tan, flawless person. Someone who can take a picture effortlessly, or have someone take a picture of them and have not a single line on their face when they smile. Why do we instantly think of someone like that? Well simply it's our media. From magazines, to Instagram, to television. We are forced to live up to these beauty expectations which make us insecure when we feel as though our looks aren't good enough.

The media has created such a huge standard for female or even male beauty. When we have the want to look like these people that is when the next time you look at yourself in the mirror, you see more flaws than you have before. You start to compare yourself to these idols, and you begin to realize that you look nothing like them. But that is okay because you are so much more.

You're so special, and so beautiful. You have so much worth! You are perfectly made, everything about you is truly amazing. You don't have to live up to the media's expectations of beauty because you are beautiful. Your personality, smile, and character have so much radiance that shows both on the inside and the out. You're so amazing. Please don't take that for granted. You're perfect.

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.

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.
