I recently heard a theory that sometime in the not-so-distant future, there would be a device that would allow you to almost instantly see a multitude of information about someone just by pointing this device at them. I don’t know about you, but to me, that’s terrifying. I don’t want random strangers capable of knowing a bunch of information about me!

But this got me thinking. What if everything we had worked to hide became blatantly obvious? What if everyone had to wear a warning label, displaying if their inside is as beautiful as their outside (or vice versa)?

So, I asked people what their warning labels would say. Here are the responses I received from 34 college students:

“Overly blunt and usually indifferent.” - Kelli, 20, Marketing/Accounting (Yep, that’s me!)

“Prone to injury.” - Sara, 20, Nursing

“I’m right, you’re wrong.” - Brent, 21, History/Philosophy, Politics and the Public (PPP)/Economics/Political Science

“Makes everything less of a big deal than it is.” - Daniel, 20, Business

“I’m crazy.” - Jenna, 18, Occupational Therapy

“Will be late to everything regardless of prep time given.” - Brendan, 20, Communications

“Can be loud when upset.” - Jenny, 19, Actuarial Science

“I’m indecisive.” - Gem, 21, Economics/Political Science/International Studies

“Very nice until you get to know me.” - Nick, 20, Accounting

“I will hit on you.” - Ellen, 21, Elementary Education

“Resting bitch face.” - Bella, 18, Nursing

“Diabetic.” - Brandon, 21, Finance

“Says ‘sorry’ too much.” - Sarah, 19, Economics, Sustainability, and Society

“Edgy when hungry.” - Abby, 21, Social Work

“Extremely oblivious and self-conscious.” - Katlyn, 20, Elementary Education

“Sometimes it’s not sarcasm.” - Derek, 21, Biophysics

“Socially awkward.” - Sara, 20, Exercise Science/Pre-Physical Therapy

“Depression and anxiety.” - Hayley, 20, Marketing

“Bad temper.” - Michael, 21, Finance

“Accelerates for pedestrians.” - Ryan, 18, Engineering/Physics

“Nerd with attitude.” - Rayanne, 20, Biology/Spanish

“Too sensitive.” - Kaitie, 19, Elementary Education

“Excessive emotional baggage.” - Michael, 20, Finance/Health Services Administration

“No bullshit.” - Adam, 22, Management

“Cold-hearted, driven.” - Greg, 20, Economics

“Pragmatic hipster.” - Braden, 21, Biochemistry

“I worry and overthink everything.” - Allie, 20, Occupational Therapy

“Study freak.” - Rachel, 18, Chemistry

“I’m tired.” - Ben, 20, Biology

“Please do not approach with bullshit.” - Ese, 17, Marketing

“Gossip queen.” - Lauren, 20, Nursing

“Momma’s boy.” - Jake, 18, Business

“Will not pay attention.” - Sam, 19, Actuarial Science

“I’m obnoxious.” - Michael, 21, Management

Most people answered with little hesitation. Some took longer. And a couple took a day or two. But I guess it’s important, because it shows self-awareness and that not everyone has problems that they wear on their sleeve. It’s just funny to me that the answers never repeated, and that most people made labels that I wouldn’t have stuck to them, but after thinking about it, it made sense.

What would your warning label say?
