A Reflection of the Old Me

How I Jiggled My Thighs to Love My Body

A Reflection of the Old Me

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.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
