A Reflection of the Old Me

How I Jiggled My Thighs to Love My Body

A Reflection of the Old Me
Mike Photography

I was uploading one of my last video assignments to YouTube when I found a treasure not many people know about.

This piece of gold was the most embarrassing video I have ever uploaded to YouTube. It is also the first video I had uploaded to YouTube.

Not too long ago, I made the video private, because I realized 1,400 people had seen this video of me, jiggling my thighs.

Yes. I was jiggling my thighs and my friend "caught me on camera" doing so.

As a 12/13 year old, I thought this was the funniest thing ever. I had big thighs, and it's fun to jiggle them. So let's make a funny video about it.

As a 17 year old, I thought this was the worst thing I could have ever done to myself.

I hated my gigantic thighs.

I have stretch marks from taking medicine (steroids, so I gained a lot of weight in a short period of time) to control my asthma.

I didn't look good in shorts.

I felt fat even though there was no "fat" I could work off.

So I hid it from the internet world and never really told anyone about it existing.

Well guys. I just made it public again. Please go watch my hilarious self jiggling my thighs.

Because I am not ashamed of my body anymore. It is so fun to jiggle my thighs. They are big, but that just means I look amazing in skinny jeans.


Enjoy.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
