More Like I Don't Fit Your Part

Don't let the way I dress fool you.

More Like I Don't Fit Your Part
Emma Paulson

Dear World,

As many of you know me, you also know my style. All my styles from clothes to music taste. We are all different and all express our styles differently. I personally love looking and feeling more chic with my day to day life, which is a bit more high maintenance... Okay, a lot more high maintenance. However, I still like what I like and people shouldn't be rude to disregard my taste because it is "not me."

This who thing started a week or so ago, I was doing a project in my photography class and we were doing it based on self-portraits. Oddly enough it was quite difficult to photograph yourself in 5 different ways to give variety to a series. But I did it, just like every other student.

Well, one student photographed herself done up like for when she goes to raves or events similar. The professor made a comment that made me really sorta irritated, something along the lines of that doesn't really fit you. So being the me that I am, I spoke up and said well do I look like the sort of person who would go to them? He said no because I dress too nice.

WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?

I was sort of offended, what does the way I dress dictate what I like to do in my spare time? On New Years, I go to one of the largest parties there are, with music artists I am sure he doesn't think I should listen to because it's not me.

Guess what else he probably wouldn't believe? That I go shooting with my family, that I like monster truck rallies, and UFC. Does that not sound like me because I don't dress the part?

Should I not like those things because the why I dress doesn't show that I like those things? See I call complete BS because I know a lot of people out there whose likes and dislikes and hobbies, and style are all different. We are people we are allowed to like whatever we please. It gives us personality.

So pardon me while I dress like the girl I am, go out to dinner with my sister to watch the fights before I head out to Decadance, because that sounds more like me than anything else.

Sincerely,

The Girl Who Likes Enjoy Lifes Options

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
