Why blend in when you were born to stand out?

A Fruit Loop In A World Full Of Cheerios!

"A fruit loop in a world full of cheerios." Some people will look at the statement 100 different ways. I personally read this statement as, a person is so different while the people around them are so original. It seems that in todays society everyone wants to be just alike. Everyone is so afraid to go against the "norm" the they would rather sit back and blend in.

I am a fruit loop in a world full of cheerios. I was crafted to stand out, to be me and no one else. My grandmother always told me growing up that I always had to be different from others. She was right! I by any means do not like to blend in; I never have and never will. If not being the same as everyone else is such a bad thing than I guess I'm wrong for being me.

Our generation is slowing becoming known for just being average! When I say average I mean that we put in no more effort than to just make do. We don't go above and beyond to be the very best we can be. We do just enough to get the job done and be able to walk away from it. This has become our "norm" as we like to call it. I however want to be the very best! I want to see my name with doctor in front of it. I want to make a change! Our generation wants to be the best, make changes, and be the difference in our society but we don't want to put the work in.

"Why blend in when you were born to stand out?"(-Dr. Seuss) I strive to be different. I don't want to live my life just going with the flow of the world! I want to be the fruit loop in the world full of cheerios. I am my own person, there is no one else like me! I love that! I love the fact that I will never meet someone that thinks exactly like I do or looks exactly like I do. I mean truly think about it how boring and unproductive would our world be if we were all made the same? It would be like a rainbow made out of grey, no color or life in it.

So, I challenge you to be a fruit loop in a world full of cheerios. Don't be afraid to be different, you are your own person. If you want to make a change and be different; DO NOT be afraid to do so! I will not tip toe around in the world because its not socially acceptable to be different. I want to be different and if that bothers you while, I'm sorry for not being sorry for who I am.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
