9 Moments Every Curvy Girl Can Relate To
Ciara Thompson

Welcome to Volume 10 of my Summer Chronicles. Click here if you would like to read my most recent volume (about Kesha's new single). Kesha has had some body issues and so have I. Because of this, I decided to celebrate being curvy with 9 moments every curvy girl can relate to:

1. When you finally find a pair of jeans that fits nicely

Pics or it didn't happen!


2. When you hear the phrase “bikini body”

Mmmkay, every body is a bikini body!


3. When you’re proud of the way you pull off that retro outfit

High waisted shorts forevah!


4. When you find shorts that aren't too short

The length of your legs doesn't seem to be a factor.


5. And don’t even get me started on dresses

The "chub rub" is real.


6. When you surprise gym rats

Yes, I am here to seriously workout. Just because I lack an athletic build doesn't mean I lack athletic abilities!


7. When you put on your favorite pair of leggings

It feels like a hug around each leg.


8. Layering every shirt so you are socially appropriate

Excuse me, ma'am, would you please return to your assigned seat?


9. When your friend compliments your figure

What?! Thanks, honey!


No matter your size or shape, you were created beautifully. Every body is worth celebrating! Instead of comparing ourselves to those we admire, we should be encouraging each other.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
