Free the nipple? More like free the food.

The topic that has caused uncomfortable family dinners, uproar in social media feeds and created those awkward debates in class where that angry feminist won't stop "fighting the power" about something. Today, I am that angry feminist.

Breast feeding. There, I said it, run, hide your kids, your husband and all who are offended. As a woman shouldn't we be arm in arm supporting one another? Instead, we berate those who are feeding their children and applaud those who walk down a Victoria Secret fashion show.

What makes this picture OK?

(For all we know, she could be pondering, "Why is it OK to put my breasts on display unless I'm feeding my child?")

Why is this picture notOK?

Let me ask you the following questions?

1. Are you forced to eat under a blanket without room to breathe?

2. If your favorite food is pizza and you are told pizza is disgusting and you should only eat in secret, how would that make you feel?

3. What if you are so hungry and there's food right in front of you; however, society wants you to starve until you can find a public restroom or clandestine location to properly feed?

Welcome to being the baby.

Let's focus on the victims of the terrible comments for a moment though.

Moms. Moms are awesome, they love you, they fed you. And guess what! A good majority of you were probably breast fed. Would you tell your mom the disgusting things said in this video?


Take a moment to let that sink in. The mom was told "that's disgusting, I don't appreciate your tit being out like that." He then argued how it was OK for the other woman's cleavage to be out because it's "sexy."

Last time I checked, mom's don't load their breasts with milk, it's naturally there. Why? Probably, because boobs being sexual "objects" is a socialized construct, not how nature intended.

Also, fun fact, breast feeding HURTS! People are putting down women who are feeding their babies while they are in pain. That is an act of love, not a peep show.

Let's take a moment to appreciate the clap back Alyssa Milano has for Wendy Williams:

I think Alyssa sums it up best. I guess it takes a "charmed" one to truly enlighten us. Stop making women apologize because no woman should have to say sorry because their "baby bottle" is flesh colored.

Thank your mom today for being alive and re-evaluate your thoughts the next time you want to shame a mother for feeding her child. Accept boobs, respect the woman and love life.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
