Versus the Stereotypes

[soychristelle]

Just gonna have a quick rant on how much I HATE it when people tell me I've become "maarte" right after I joined a sorority. Yes, I've changed a little on how I dressed but it's not because I wanted to fit the stereotypical, fashionista sorority girl who loves make-up and parties. Truth is, I've always liked dressing up nicely but people rarely saw that, especially in college, because I never had time to choose my clothes well because I was ALWAYS late for class. And yes, I've loved playing with make-up since I was in high school but I rarely go out with much stuff on my face because 1) I take it off immediately because my skin breaks out easily 2) Like I said, I was always late. I had to ditch my contact lenses because I never had enough time putting them on and 3) I often commute to school and to wherever. Why bother putting on make-up when it's just gonna get messed up.

So there. It just so happened that med school gave me more opportunities to dress-up because when I go out, I get to choose my clothes well, unlike when I had to rush to get dressed during undergrad. Plus, my sister got a job which allowed her to get pretty clothes and allowed me to borrow her nice clothes. And yes, I do put make-up more often because I have more freedom to go to parties now.

I want to wear this nice skirt to school tomorrow because it finally fits me again after I've lost the weight I gained during freshman year. But I don't want any "Chris, why are you wearing a skirt? Grabe." comments tomorrow as if people know me well.
