Newsflash, not everyone is the same. Anyone who simply has the audacity to categorize most college students as lazy, partygoers, who don't often think about their future, is disrespectful. Not only does this pertain to college students, but also to those who may not have chosen to go to straight to college, but to work instead. It is disrespectful to a lot of young adults who might not fit the stigma you are trying to place all of us in. For anyone who feels the need to judge, criticize me about the things that I do and why I do them — that is just as disrespectful. You do not walk in anybody else's shoes but your own.

Who you think you see on the outside, is not the same person on the inside. Yes, perception is everything, however, it is not fair to judge someone whom you don't even know or have not tried to even know. I don't care if you feel the need to be critical of what I choose to do, how I do it and why I do it. Not because I see fit for me to explain myself to anyone, but because from the outside looking in you see one view while I am experiencing another.

Disregarding my hard work or anybody else's hard work in that matter in their studies, extracurricular projects, or the job that he or she may have, is not your place. It is a waste of your time because while you are choosing to see all the faults in what I am doing, I am focusing on me, specifically what I have to do to be a better person.
