More Like I Don't Fit Your Part

Don't let the way I dress fool you.

More Like I Don't Fit Your Part
Emma Paulson

Dear World,

As many of you know me, you also know my style. All my styles from clothes to music taste. We are all different and all express our styles differently. I personally love looking and feeling more chic with my day to day life, which is a bit more high maintenance... Okay, a lot more high maintenance. However, I still like what I like and people shouldn't be rude to disregard my taste because it is "not me."

This who thing started a week or so ago, I was doing a project in my photography class and we were doing it based on self-portraits. Oddly enough it was quite difficult to photograph yourself in 5 different ways to give variety to a series. But I did it, just like every other student.

Well, one student photographed herself done up like for when she goes to raves or events similar. The professor made a comment that made me really sorta irritated, something along the lines of that doesn't really fit you. So being the me that I am, I spoke up and said well do I look like the sort of person who would go to them? He said no because I dress too nice.

WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?

I was sort of offended, what does the way I dress dictate what I like to do in my spare time? On New Years, I go to one of the largest parties there are, with music artists I am sure he doesn't think I should listen to because it's not me.

Guess what else he probably wouldn't believe? That I go shooting with my family, that I like monster truck rallies, and UFC. Does that not sound like me because I don't dress the part?

Should I not like those things because the why I dress doesn't show that I like those things? See I call complete BS because I know a lot of people out there whose likes and dislikes and hobbies, and style are all different. We are people we are allowed to like whatever we please. It gives us personality.

So pardon me while I dress like the girl I am, go out to dinner with my sister to watch the fights before I head out to Decadance, because that sounds more like me than anything else.

Sincerely,

The Girl Who Likes Enjoy Lifes Options

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
