Hey Miss Canada, Why Did You Gain Weight?

Siera Bearchell, the reigning Miss Canada 2016 (who recently ran for Miss Universe), has a lot to say about body shaming. Believe it or not, a reporter asked her how it felt to be so much.. larger than the other candidates.

You. Have. Got. To. Be. Kidding.

First of all, why in the world would anyone ask that question? Why do people think it's okay to openly body shame somebody to their face? Not to mention, someone who is constantly scrutinized for her looks, because that's what judges see on stage? Personally, I think this woman is beyond beautiful. She doesn't look heavy, she looks normal. Healthy! Not saying I have anything against any other candidates, because they all work very hard to be lean and fit for their pageants.

Second of all, this woman is a runner, a law student, and co-owner of an apparel company. This girl definitely deserves a donut every once in awhile.

I don't see anything wrong with the way Siera Bearchell looks. I think she is stunning, and a total badass for standing up for herself and women of all shapes and sizes.

Quite frankly, I would've given that reporter the finger.. but obviously she has more class than I do. I am so glad that she didn't let that comment affect her. Siera is a role model for girls and women everywhere, and thankfully she has enough confidence in herself to spread the world about self-love and body positivity.

You go girl.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
