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

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
