Imperfectly Perfect -- Original poem

Here is poem I thought of on a whim. It's quite fitting considering the title. 😊

 Scars, bruises, scratches that align the arms -- they should on display
Nervously smile as people stare with judgment, but yet understand fully
They realize their scars and all on their bodies, realizing their self-consciousness too
These scars and imperfections are some things that never fade -- they alter our perspectives
Seeing smooth skin and flawless hair that flows seems surreal 
It's imperfectly perfect to some, but others think it's impossible
Seeing white and grey hairs growing in your hair, eyeglasses and scars on the skin 
Imperfectly perfect
Be imperfectly perfect by your speech, walk, sight, smell, whatever you have, you own it
Own that you're imperfectly perfect
Live happily in your skin; your laugh, your voice is yours 
Never blame yourself for you -- imperfectly perfect
Be happy, be you...imperfectly perfect

Throughout the course of history, an abundance of women mobilized during experiences, instances that confronted adversity based upon gender, race, sexual orientation, socioeconomic class and other classes within the societal umbrella.

Another personal note: as a plethora of women have declared and acted toward powerful moments of our history, they have transcended above the fray. Personally, I admire women who defend their rights as they strive for a world of equality. From Jane Fonda, Oprah Winfrey, Gloria Steinem, Madeline Alb...

University textbooks prices can get expensive

Students who attend already know there are many expenses to pay off such as loans, tuition, room and board fees and to top it off, dreaded textbooks. Obviously, buying college textbooks can be essential for college students while enrolled in courses; however they may view buying textbooks as a penny-pinching experience. A vast majority of college students would agree, buying textbooks for classes can be a hassle; but many of us do it anyway. When professors assign textbooks for courses many students comply because they should help us learn coursework and pass classes. Although a main con of buying textbooks is sky-high prices, are there alternative resources when purchasing them? The answers maybe just near our fingertips. A few resources upon suggestion: The Chegg website is a textbook website where textbooks can be rented and shipped to a mailing address. It could be a good resource considering it allows students to rent textbooks and then mail them back to the sender. Another w...
