Struggling for Perfection

I thought this reading was very interesting.  It is insightful for all women.  It is very true.  Women today strive for perfection.  Not only do they torture themselves about it, society does it as well.  The media puts up a front of what all women should be like.  We are who we are and no one can take that away from us.  Everyone wants to change something about themselves.  If you don’t want to change something about yourself, good for you!  In the beginning of the reading, it states “Sex sells.”  That’s the honest truth.  Honestly, would anyone subscribe to Playboy if a women was on the cover fully clothed?  I don’t think so.  I hear guys make up the excuse that I get Playboy to read the acticles.  Sure and everybody else does too.  Anyways, the point I am making is that the reading is very true and only if all women looked at it as the author did and I.

Just Walk on By

I thought this story was very interesting.  I think that it is sad that our society has come to this.  I would hate for someone to think almost everytime I was walking late at night down the street that I was going to mug them.  If I was in his situation I would probably ended up flipping out or gone crazy on a person that thought I was going to hurt them in some way.  It puts one’s self esteem down and as well as there character.  Not everybody is bad.  Looks are decieving.  This story has put a different perspective of how I look at people.  I have never thought someone was going to mug me.  Well, we all don’t live in a big criminal town.  You never know.

M&M’s

I found The Truth about M&M’s to be amusing.  I never thought to look at students this way.  I found myself being one of each types of M&M’s.  Right now, I think I would see myself as a Plain M&M.  I go to class and do the work.  I love to write.  I see myself being a Peanut because I do love to dig deeper and find a way to write better.  At times, I find myself BSing my way through papers or my writing.  I just want to get it done.  I know I can BS my way through papers and settle with a “B”.  There are other times that I want to dig deeper and get that “A” work.  I feel good when I “A” because I know that I accomplished something through me not my BS side of writing papers.  The truth about M&M’s was a different way to describe the types of students you see in class.  I found that it was cute.
