Judging People By Their Clothing Is So Last Season

Haven't we learned that personality is more important than clothing?

Judging People By Their Clothing Is So Last Season

One night as I was scrolling through social media, I saw a post of five girls with text above them. Four of them were wearing a clubbing outfit or clothing that boosted their confidence, while the other girl was wearing a hoodie and jeans. The girls that were not covered from head to toe had their background story written, letting the reader know that they were not, in fact, sluts; however, the girl wearing a hoodie, assumed they were, and that is the topic of this article. We assume people's personality based on what they are wearing and bash them for that.

We live in a time that judging someone by their appearance can take any turn. For instance, some rich people don't walk around wearing expensive clothing. Some people wear clothing they can barely afford to fit in to gain higher social friends. There are even social experiments to show who has a bigger heart!

Besides, talking trash about someone is terrible. You don't know what is going on in their life, yet you have no problem calling them names. It also shows that there is a problem with you —for example, bullies. Bullies bully people because they have a problem at home and have no courage to talk about it, so they take it out on others. Some people with low-self esteem spread rumors about others, possibly more successful persons than them because they want to be them but are not confident enough.

One piece of advice I would like to give is if you feel the need to judge someone based on what they wear, picture yourself in their shoes. Would you talk trash about yourself? Also, analyze the environment: if you are at the club, it is okay to wear clubbing clothing. If you are not at the club, then perhaps you can approach them and let them know they should probably go home and change clothing. It is better to save someone from embarrassment rather than judging them. It also makes you a better person, making you happier in the process. Who knows, you might make a friend that way.

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!
