Hey!!! :) So I have been wanting to write about a certain topic for a very long time, but just haven't had the chance. So now I am actually writing it. People judge others far to fast!!! And honestly it just makes me sad. I tried this last semester to meet a lot of different types of people and to make lasting friendships with many of these different people. Some friends have blossomed into a beautiful creation; however, other friendships didn't even get to start. Take a second to look at me and what do you see?? What type of person do you automatically assume me to be?? Okay, Stop! I would have hopped you would say things about the type of person I am on the inside and the things I stand for. But is that even close to what 95% of the people thought?.... NOPE! The first thing that comes to most people's mind is that I am high maintenance! For some reason that stereo typical opinion automatically categorizes a high maintenance girl as a snob, brat, spoiled diva, and selfish. I dream that one day the girls and guys up at Utah State would remove their judgemental blinders to allow them to see people for who they are. I am not a spoiled high maintenance girl! I love to dress up and I love my high heels, but I also love camping and would love to run around in the rain till I are dripping wet. I am passionate about my platform;-"Loving the Person Within"-and what the program-Power in You-stands for.
Sadly, I am getting used to the dirty looks and disapproving stares I have received from my peers for as long as I can remember. I am tired of Logan guys meeting me and automatically assuming I am a brat and selfish. Haven't you ever heard the saying "Don't judge a book by its cover?" I think the saying transfers directly to the human race! Don't judge a girl by her looks!! Just because I like to dress up and look nice doesn't mean I am not fun, it doesn't mean I can't get down and dirty to have a good time. I just like to dress up. Who knew there would ever be something so wrong with that......
I hope and dream for the day that a guy looks at me and doesn't automatically think "what a high maintenance brat" I wish for days to come where guys at Utah State will actually get to know me before they decide the type of person I am.
If you know me at all you know, yes I like to look nice, yes I like to fancy things, yes something unique about me is that I love running for pageants, yes I am a proud girlie girl, YET YES I like to play in the mud, YES I suck and dislike playing all sports but that I would love to play against you if you asked (just promise not to laugh), NO I am not studying to be something girlie, ( I am majoring to be an Accountant, sorry to shock you) NO I am not a stupid, YES I constantly write about bullying and helping others become and love who they are, YES I love math, ..... These are things you judge me for.... these are things you never knew because you didn't take the time to hang out with me beyond a simple hello, in fear of getting wrapped up in some crazy drama.........
This is to mainly men but girls too. If you don't ever look past my cover, you will never get to see ME. You will never see the girl who lives inside my high heel, big hair bow style. I have tried and tried and tried to show you all who I am...... Sadly, 95% of you turned me away automatically assuming I was a snob based on how I dress, but this is what I have decided. I would rather be assumed to be a snob based on my dress and girlie ways but still be true to the person inside my heart, than be the person who dresses "normal" but is a judgemental snob inside.
If you can't look past my cover (or anyone else's cover) what does that make you??? Is that girl that dresses in heels and designer clothes the selfish snob or is the selfish snob looking staring at you when you look in the mirror??
If you have gotten to know who I actually am, I would love for you to share a comment about the person you know!!
Much Love,
~Barbie!
