To the girl who went out of her way to try to put me down,

First of all, I want to start off by formally introducing myself. My name is Alison, I am a sophomore, my major is social work, I am a writer for the Odyssey, I am a proud member of Greek life, I love bratwurst and cheese curds very much, Oh, and I have this cat named Simba. Don't you think it is a little dumb that you didn't know any of these facts and yet you still have already jumped the gun to dislike and judge me?

I want to point out that yes I am me and I am insecure. I am insecure about a lot of things. I can admit, as a short Asian girl, I feel ugly when I'm in a room with all tall white girls because they are the image of beauty in America. I have the worst eaters regret because for reason I am not happy with the way my body looks. I do feel a little uneasy when girls, I don't know, start conversations with my boyfriend because of my abusive relationship past. But how can you know these about me by looking at me? The answer is you don't.

So, to the girl who disliked me after my first hello, I don't understand why you had to try to get under my skin. It was amusing how you think hugging and taking selfies with my boyfriend will start a fire in me. Or giving me dirty looks and complimenting everyone around us besides me will make me sad. Or how complaining about me to people will make me think less of myself. Because I, for real, don't give a f*ck. You may think, "Yeah right, but you wrote this article, though." And you are right I am writing this, but not because I care how you tried to humiliate me or make me sad. Because it will take a lot more than a seductive look at my boyfriend or telling me to "calm the fuck down" for me to shed a tear.

I am writing this because you gave me this inspiration to come out a let other girls know that they shouldn't give a fuck, waste a breath, or let it eat them up inside if someone tries to get under your skin. To my fellow insecure women, you are amazing, I don't know you and I don't care because you have done something in your life that is applause worthy. Giggling or throwing a smile towards an ignorant girls comment about you will scream confidence. And confidence is beautiful and you should strive to achieve that in your life.

I have trust in my relationship and I may get jealous when a girl bats her eyes his way. But when it comes down to it, I know that I will be the only girl going home with him at the end of the night. I may feel some type of way when you call me ugly but hey, a bunch of my sorority sisters think I'm beautiful and that's really what matters. Also, you can talk about me to other people and I won't care because the only thing you hurt at the end of that is your image and character.

Finally, thank you for trying me and giving me the inspiration for this article. And I encourage that next time you think about talking or looking at an another girl the same way you did to me, maybe have a respectful conversation first? She might appreciate it.
