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

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer.
