Do These Jeans Make Me Look Fat?


I have never been in a more self-conscience environment than that of SMU. It’s almost as if a day doesn’t go by without me having to reassure a classmate that she doesn’t look fat. I even witnessed a girl in my Oceanography class take two SlimQuick diet pills. This girl must not weigh more than one-hundred pounds, so it worries me that she feels the need to lose weight. The boys I've talked to say that really skinny girls freak them out, so if she is doing this for more attention it's not going to be the positive attention she's hoping for. I'm really not sure why the skinniest girls seem to think that they need to do everything in their power to lose weight. It's unhealthy and unnecessary. And it must make the heavier girls very uncomfortable, insecure, and self-conscience. What do you think?

Did You Fart?

Farting in public is an extreme act of rudeness. It basically signifies that you could care less about the people around you so you allow the fumes and bubbly noise to erupt out of your butt hole. When my brother farts in front of me I lecture him on how disrespectful and uncleanly it is. I always say: “If you were sitting in a car with Paris Hilton you wouldn’t have farted.” It’s so true. If we don’t care about certain people’s opinions or we feel extremely comfortable around them, we won’t resist our urge to fart. Otherwise, when were in a classroom full of peers, a significant other’s family, a person we don’t know well, or pretty much any other social situation, we know better than to fart. So I recommend that if you feel the urge coming, take the liberty to exit the room and proceed accordingly. Not only will you save yourself from embarrassment, but you will give people one less reason to look down upon you.
