Stereotyping

A stereotype is a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing.



I am a ginger, which means I am just assumed to be a soulless anti-sun freak of nature. Stereotyping  is really insulting to anyone, no matter how offensive it is. Especially when it comes to the summer; people tell me I need an SPF 50+. Really? I use a 15 and I'm fine. I absolutely can not deal with people stereotyping. It really gets to me because being a ginger is a cool thing. You kinda get to be in your own little gang, and everyone gets along. It's when people practically tell me that I am pretty much a monster, that's when you cross the line. The line gets damaged when you continue mocking. I thought you were a sun goddess. Wow; I can tan, but I don't sit in the sun for hours at a time and intentionally burn myself; everyone has a limit.

If you are reading this, and you are different from the others (maybe race, hair color, religion) or whatever the case may be; Be yourself. People will make fun of you for your differences, but don't let it affect you. 

 We were put on this earth to make it diverse, and bring life, don't make us all one lump of awkward people. I have a soul, I can tan, I have freckles, I have a hot temper, but I make sure I stay true to who I am, and NOT fit the stereotype.

Love yourself the way you are!

Body Positivity.

Body Positivity is a big thing for me. I am a curvy girl (not the skinny type) and just saying "I love my body" makes me feel much better about myself. There are some people who really pushed for this. Rhianna's See-Through dress was a big push because she was pretty much letting it all out for people to see. I love it when people can clearly see that they are fine the way they are. If there are any haters, let them sit in haterville. I have become more body positive this summer as well! You never would have seen me in short shorts and crop tops, but here I am! I can fit in the skinny girl stores like Victoria's Secret and Hollister!

Just remember, any time you feel down, take a deep breath and say "I love my body."

Oklahoma!

Our show's cast party was on Saturday, and it was FUN. I got to dress fancy one more time before the end of school and I LOVED it! I wore the little lavender dress shown below with the heels also shown below. I had a fancier dress with a higher heel, but I was like "no." A bunch of us got together and get fancy, and looked VERY classy. I even got to sing fancy with my friend.

My beef with the dress code

Schools are letting out for the year in some areas and let me tell you, I'm excited! I am currently in the almighty finals week... so we pretty much have a wear-what-you-want kind of vibe. There's one problem though... I have no idea if we are still following the dress code! Our principal is still busting people for modesty, but I see some people wearing tanktops and short shorts! I'm just confused. I feel like I would be one of the people that would get yelled at just because I'm me. I am a curvier girl, so people notice things on me more. I wanted to wear shorts, but I feel like I would be called out about it. That would be hypocrisy on their part, as well as fat shaming because skinny people could get past and I can't. I'm lost. I'm wearing shorts to finals, I don't care.
