Your "Not-So-Typical" Typical White Girl

Your "Not-So-Typical" Typical White Girl
http://youthnextdoor.tumblr.com/post/65763455602/xx

May I have a triple shot, non-fat, no-whip white mocha and a label to define me, please?

Oh the "typical white girl". Our generation knows her well, and many of us have been harmlessly ridiculed for being one. Pinterest is her favorite pastime, Starbucks is a food group (no matter what anyone says), and UGGs are the only shoes she appears to own during the winter. However, are we all as "typical" as we may seem? Think again.

Hi, my name is Ashley, and I am what most people would automatically classify as your standard, typical white girl. My hair is highlighted blonde, I was a Varsity Cheerleader in high school, my addiction to Starbucks is a little sad to say the least, and one of my biggest problems is finding something to wear in a closet overflowing with clothes I do not even wear most of the time. I am apart of a sorority whose main color is pink, and I hold a position on the Executive Board as the VP of Recruitment. 

All of this being said, people I have met throughout my two years of college have come to realize that I am not so typical.

My favorite color? Black, hands down. Seventy-five percent of my closet is filled with it, and if it was acceptable to go everywhere in ripped up black shorts, a black t-shirt, and a beanie, I would. Pop Punk and screamo music will forever be the love of my life, and my dream is to travel the United States with Sleeping With Sirens while they are on tour. Attending every Warped Tour date would be pretty sick too. My prized piece of clothing is a black sweater from Hot Topic with skulls on the elbows and a torn up back. A shocker to most people is that I have a tattoo and a mind full of ideas of more that I would like to get one day. Oh, and I would do anything to own a panda. I mean, who wouldn't?

So who says that the typical white girl has to be all that typical?

There is more to all of us than meets the eye no matter how we are stereotyped. So girls, put on your Victoria Secret leggings, retweet all your favorite TSM tweets, and throw on some black lipstick or a tribal kimono if that's what you love. Never be ashamed or scared to show who you are even if others call you "typical". As our generation loves to say: "you do you", and don't forget to feel fab doing it!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. 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.
