(Though I imagine it meeting a similar demise to my vaguely-unquantifiable-on-purpose "Eat less candy" pact I occasionally make with myself. Entire bag of "chewy sweet-tart" ballish things? Didn't stand a chance this afternoon. Yes, I even eat the obscure hard-to-name candies - no discrimination.)
I mean, I'm a big believer in the Golden Rule, and no one likes to be judged - But sometimes it's like, I'm sorry, honey, but if you're wearing high heels and a dress in a snow storm, I'm not going to bet on you being the brightest bulb in the tanning bed.
But, how many of us have walked out of a first class, where all we did was introduce ourselves - thinking Man, that was awful, I cannot wait to be done with this class! Or, even more critically (and usually a little later in the semester), How does that professor have his/her PhD?
Still, our whole lives we've been drilled to "Not judge a book by its cover." But, now we are reminded constantly of the utmost importance of First Impressions.
There's even quotes like "You never get a second chance to make a first impression."
Now, I thought we were all agreeing to ignore book covers? So why are interview outfits the end-all be-all?!
Reminds me of two other contradictory quotes "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" and "Out of sight, out of mind." I think that everyone wants to believe that their long-distance relationship falls in the former category, but then, why does the second exist? In the case high school crushes, I think the first quote applies to girls (read: Facebook stalking) and the second quote applies to boys (read: watching ESPN).
Yes, I realize this post has absolutely no focus and I'm now rambling on a tangent. To add to that, here's a picture of the sweet tart candies I was referring to:
Only my bag was, maybe, 3 times bigger?
Yep, there is officially no focus to this blog post.
Please, Don't Judge Me. :)
