Don't Judge A Person By Their Looks

Isn't it time to be kind?

Don't Judge A Person By Their Looks
Simple Image Resizer

Let's be real here. When we see someone walking down the street we decide what type of person they are before you even introduce yourself. We live in a world that projects women as skinny, tall with big breasts and a big butt. Now 9 times out of 10 that is NOT a reality or even possible. We judge men to be built, tall, handsome and that they look like the models on the magazine covers.

Is that really the type of society we want to live in?

To feel like every time you put on that less than cool shirt or those out of fashion jeans people will be judging the way you look. That you have to look a certain way in order to fit in, act a certain way to stay there and endure different things to excel.

Is that the type of person you want to be? Judging people because they aren't just like you? Looking at that girl that has a different body type, the boy that looks like your definition of a "nerd" and thinking you are better than them. Well newsflash, you're not.

Society tries to separate the "popular" kids versus the "unpopular". How is that fair? Everything in life is a cutthroat competition that eats at everyone to try and be better than everybody else, no matter what it takes to get there.

Would you want to be that girl in the photo above? Where the kids in the back were making fun of her because she looks a certain way, she is focusing on her studies, etc. It doesn't even matter why because that should not have been happening in the first place.

Your words hurt.

They affect the people around you.

And the decisions other people make.

Will you think twice? Will you take a look around you and decide to be an honorable person, not someone who stabs people in the back to get ahead in life? Will you realize that you will never be a good person if you continue to use your selfish personality to get ahead?

It's time to stop this pettiness that makes up our society and end the jealousy. It isn't right in general, as well as it hurts the people that surround you. That is why there is a bullying prevention day, a national suicide day because so many kids are taking their lives due to the fact that they are being hurt by the words you say.

Watch the show "13 Reasons Why", or read the book. That is a perfect example as to how ruthless and mean people are.

Do you want to be that person? The one that everyone fears because they don't even know how to make it through the day because of you? The one that people blame when you hurt someone so badly with your words and actions that they try to take their own life? Suicide is permanent, problems are temporary. Don't be such a problem in someone else's life that they believe that making a permanent decision is better than living life.

Don't take someone's life away from them.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
