Why You Are Beautiful No Matter What Size

Your beauty comes from the inside, your beauty is what you say and what you think. Your beauty is an inspiration to someone else.

Why You Are Beautiful No Matter What Size
Kaelyn McKlveen

There is not standard to beauty. I don't understand how someone has the nerve to tell someone else that they are too skinny or too fat. Don't tell someone they need to eat a salad or that they should put on some weight. Who are you to judge how someone else should look and feel about his or herself?

There is no weight you have to be to be considered beautiful, everyone is beautiful in their own individual way. People tend to not understand that every female does not have the genetic makeup to look like social media`s "ideal beauty standard".

I say those extra five-10 pounds, that place where your body wants it to be-- that's your life. That's your late night pizza with your friends. That spontaneous girls trip to Ocean City, when you indulged in a lot of "bad things." Those five-10 pounds are Sunday morning all you can eat brunch, your absolute favorite cupcake in the world because you wanted to treat yourself. Those five-10 pounds are your favorite memories, the unforgettable trips and your celebrations of life. Those extra five-10 pounds are your spontaneity, your freedom, and your love.

So stop worrying about them, live your life without fear of judgement from others because not everyone is going to think the same way you do. Stop caring what they think and go do what you want. Eat whatever you want. Wear whatever you want. If you have confidence in what you're doing that's what really matters. You want to wear a bikini, but your body is not considered a "bikini body?" Here's how to solve it, go put that bikini on your body and rock it. Everyone has a bikini body!

The number inside your jeans or the tag in your shirt doesn't matter. That is just a number as is the scale. That number does not define your self-worth, your beauty, your intelligence, or the amount of love you have. It is one stupid lousy number or letter. Your beauty is not defined by a size, a weight, or by physical features. Your beauty comes from the inside, your beauty is what you say and what you think. Your beauty is an inspiration to someone else.

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Whether you're commuting or dorming, your first year of college is a huge adjustment. The transition from living with parents to being on my own was an experience I couldn't have even imagined- both a good and a bad thing. Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
