Ladies, If A Guy Doesn't Like You For You, Drop Him

"Don't be afraid of losing people, be afraid of losing yourself trying not to lose someone."

If a guy wants you to change who you are for him, he simply isn't the one for you.

I am sick and tired of guys believing that they can tell women how to dress, act, and fix their hair. If you told me that my t-shirt and shorts weren't gonna cut it, I'd kick you to the curb real quick. I know my worth, and I don't go through my day trying to please others. If you're happy in your t-shirt and shorts, awesome! If you're happy dressing up on a daily basis, that's cool too! Just be yourself!

You do not have to change how you go through your life, just because some pathetic excuse for a man told you he expects more.

I grew up a very strong-minded young lady, and I didn't take crap from anyone. You don't like me? That's fine, you probably aren't my cup of tea either. If I wanna do something, I'm more than likely going to do it, and I'm going to do it my way. Contrary to many men's beliefs, women have brains that work! We are able to think on our own. We do not need you trying to tell us what to do 24/7.

If a guy tries to change your opinion on a subject, he isn't for you. If a guy makes you feel worthless, he isn't for you. If a guy tells you to act differently, he simply isn't for you. Find someone who likes you for you—not someone who wants you to change the aspects of your life that make you, you! Don't be the girl who lets guys think that it's okay to treat us like crap on a daily basis. This will ultimately lead to your own destruction!

One day, you will wake up to find that you've lost yourself, all because you wanted to impress a guy. If you change one thing about yourself for a guy, he'll want you to keep changing into what he wants you to be. By doing this, you have allowed him to play "Barbie." He will now see you as someone he can manipulate and take advantage of. Do you really want that? Take a minute and ask yourself, would you want someone to treat your daughter like this? Wouldn't you tell her to stand up for herself and get rid of him? Take your own advice, and drop him.

Teach yourself to know that your opinions of yourself are far more important than someone else's opinions of you. There will always be someone who doesn't like you, and that's okay! Don't let anyone make you feel like less of a person, because you think, act, or dress differently than they do. You are a strong, beautiful, intelligent woman, and no one can take that away from you!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
