To The "Ugly Sister" — I Stand With You

To The "Ugly Sister" — I Stand With You
Raven Beach

When having sisters you know all too well what it's like to compare yourself to them. You get upset over small things like how they look in a dress you know would awful on you. Or how they look awesome in a picture but you look like a potato. We're all guilty of it.

I have one younger sister who is probably one of the prettiest girls you'll ever see, and then there's me. Even in the clothes she wears on her "lazy days," next to her I look like a man. It's annoying.

Being the "ugly sister" is a blessing and a curse. It really depends on how you look at it. For me, it depends on the day.

Now you're probably thinking, "How could being ugly be a blessing?" Well for me it is when guys my age hit on my little sister. (Keep in mind she's 16 and I'm almost 21.) "Hey who's that hot chick in your snap story?!" That's when big sister mode kicks in. "Oh, you mean my 16-YEAR-OLD sister." Most stop after that, but a few keep asking for her number or snapchat. And after about the second question is when I get mean and they back off. So if being ugly and threatening means I protect my sister from douche bags, then I'm okay with it.

The curse part sometimes over powers the capability of making guys back up and think about their recent life choices. You don't really notice until you start looking at pictures from family gatherings, or selfies you guys have taken. It kinda hits you, and then you start to notice all the guys looking at her when you're at the mall.

If you're anything like me, it will hurt. To sit there and think that you're the ugly one out of the two of you. But I promise you, it's not that one is ugly than the other. Your perspectives are different. Where you think she looks better in something, she thinks the same thing. That dress you're wearing, she might wish she can rock it like you do. She's seeing guys look at you when you're watching guys do the same thing to her.

You are two different people, not one is uglier than the other.

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.

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.
