Crazy Girls
This one girl at my school is actually trying to lose 15lbs in one month...ONE MONTH. She is now on the Cabbage Soup diet. Um, any quick fix means once you stop you'll just gain all the weight back. (I'll just mention here that on my "healthy lifestyle" front, I didn't lose very many pounds my second month. So I probably will not be able to reach my end-of-summer goal. Still, I will keep working out, and I need to exercise more willpower as far as food is concerned...I have been eating McDonalds far too often lately. I am working out more this week to make up for running off the track last week. My new goal is to lose 20lbs by the end of August.)
Throughout my first year of law school, I got to know this girl from afar...mainly through reading her away messages on IM, interestingly enough. But I also heard tons of hearsay...because, you know, law school is a lot like middle school (people say high school, but, really, it's a lot worse). IM vs hearsay--she actually comes across worse on IM. She tells the world how completely insane she is. She does drugs...and brags about it in away messages, basically. She gets drunk every other night, seemingly, and brags about that, too. She's always complaining about not having a boyfriend and being depressed. And every once in a while she feels the sudden need to diet or workout, but it never seems to last for long. The hearsay indicates that she's racist, but she's never really said or done anything to confirm that (though she has said quite ignorant, insensitive things in class about other groups of people, i.e. the poor)--but the hearsay about her sister being racist seems to be true.
The thing about this girl is she is pretty. And she's smart...no matter how much I hate to admit it, she is. She is also not really overweight...she's a little thick for a white girl, and definitely weighs more than her sister (because her sister is a STICK, yet ALSO talks about needing to diet). But she's still okay, weight-wise...probably isn't technically overweight. The only explanation I can offer for why she doesn't have a boyfriend is that she's completely insane. She's perfect on the surface. She might also be picky, because there is one guy who was in our section who likes her--it's painfully obvious he does. They are good friends, so if she doesn't know he likes her...
I was watching "Dr. Phil," and the show was about teens being in abusive relationships. Dr. Phil had three girls on, all really pretty. I know that looks are not the only thing that make a person have self-esteem, or not have self-esteem. Still, I was pretty disgusted with the show. What is wrong with women? I mean, how women *think*. Everyone knows that one reason women DO have low self-esteem, even the pretty ones, is they don't think they are pretty. All of those girls were very pretty, and so is this classmate of mine. Furthermore, this classmate of mine is at a top 10 law school, headed for a good career making more money than most people ever see. It's just mind-boggling to me that so many women who have so many good qualities are so fucked up.
