Little Monsters React To Body Shamers After The Super Bowl

The headlines weren't about Gaga's performance, but her body.

We all saw Lady Gaga's amazing Super Bowl performance. She flew into the stadium from the sky, rocked all her songs and nailed every dance step. The following day, the headlines were not about how well she had performed, but rather about her "stomach flap."

If this is considered "fat," then I must be obese. I love how Lady Gaga wasn't ashamed to move and dance freely in her own body. We all have rolls when we sit down, this is because we are human.

Situations like these are what leads people to have bad images of their own bodies. When someone as tiny as Lady Gaga is being shamed for not being perfectly toned, what is the everyday women or young girl supposed to think of her own, not perfectly toned body?

Twitter users began to attack the artist, but her "little monsters," her fans, came to her defense shutting down the body shamers once and for all. They prided her on being comfortable in her own skin and setting realistic expectations of what a woman's body should look like.

Tweets like these and many more blew up on Twitter following the singer's performance. What's ridiculous is that Lady Gaga is very accepting of all people. You can often find her giving back to the less fortunate or fighting for equal right for all types of people. Why can't people do the same for her?

Regardless, Lady Gaga is a great role model. She wasn't afraid to be completely herself in her own skin. What younger girls should take away from this performance is not that her body isn't perfect and should be shamed, but it should be prided because it isn't perfect. Nobody is perfect, not even celebrities because we are simply all human.

Fans, supporters and viewers of Lady Gaga's performance should take away from it just what Lady Gaga preaches -- you were born this way. There's no reason to body shame yourself or others- especially through a computer screen. It's time we start setting more realistic goals for ourselves and stop comparing ourselves to others. There is enough negativity in the world already, let's start spreading some positivity.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
