Hey guys. It's me, Kj.
So, I just finished my second week of school. It's been fun... ish. Actually, I'm really happy to be back. I like seeing people and being in cheer. It's just that I don't super enjoy sitting through lectures. Snacks are my heaven-send. As in I cannot make it through a lecture without snacks. Do you know how fast a pack of gummies runs out?! Faster than a professor can say, "When I was your age.."
Anyway, this post is about the first day of school. I asked my dad what I should wear on said day, and he said that it should be cute because first impressions matter. Well, Dad, I can't say I agree with you completely. And here's why. Stick with me here.
So, you're sitting in class on the first day, and what's the first thing you do? Hopefully you take off your backpack and sit down. But after that, you scout out the prospects. Let me help you ladies out:
Steps to scouting out prospects on the first day of school:
1. Eliminate the girls. (If that doesn't apply to you, then... yeah...)2. Check who is cute.
3. Make a mental note.
Now, this may seem shallow and such, but how the heck are you supposed to judge a person's "personality" on the first day?? Unfortunately, people don't have soul charts floating above their head. Life would be so easy if that was the case.
Ok, anyway, the point is: how many of us actually remember any person we loved on the first day? I don't. But, as the semester goes on, I start figuring out who is in my classes, I notice people I didn't see before, and then I actually take note of certain people.
So here's what it comes down to: This ^ thought process should be true for everyone because I usually think the best. And, if it is true for everyone, then yes, first impressions matter for the scouting prospects part. But chances are those who made a note of you will forget about exactly how you looked on that first day and will continually notice you throughout semester.
Then maybe you should look ugly on the first day? Welllll, not ugly, but not super cute. Just regular. And then look REALLY cute in later days/weeks because then they'll be like, "where have you been all of semester??"And then you've got them.
Just remember that at that point, people really do start noticing personality. So if that's a problem for you, maybe skip the shopping trip altogether and go to a niceness seminar instead. I bet you $100 BYU offers those.
Ok, choose the right, people! And remember, the first day is already past, so you can't use this post as an excuse to look regular. Unless it's hobo day-- when there's no time between practice and class, so you go in your sweats. That is an exception because I named it.
