10 Reasons You Should Walk In A Fashion Show

Most of the time when we think about a fashion show, we imagine a tall slender model strutting in the lights and showing off beautiful clothing. Many of us, women in particular, choose to sit in the crowd instead of being on stage because we don't have the look, confidence or "talent" based on model expectations society has created. But a 5'3, 150 pound girl like me has walked the stage as a model for two years and what a great experience it has been.

I had neither the height or shape of a "normal" model, but I assured myself that nothing is worse than not applying myself at all. Here are 10 aspects I've gained as a model in the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Fashion Show:

1. Builds confidence

2. Learn to walk in heels

3. Additional abilities in heels

4. Meet new people

5. Find your inner sexy

6. Attention

7. Shyness = gone

8. Memories

9. Resume builder

10. "I'm a model"

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but donā€™t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I canā€™t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say itā€™s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether itā€™s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and itā€™s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following arenā€™t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
