Contrast Essay

We all know that people are different in their own little ways. But to my family and I we all see each other as definitely different and not really all that close to the norms. I don't see myself as a normal girl or even close to what a "normal" girl is like. I think that there are some big differences between me and a typical girl. With stereotyping involved, a normal girl would be someone who dresses up; acts all classy, wears make up, isn't really into outdoor activities and most likely cares a lot about appearance. But not I. I am almost the complete opposite.

I enjoy being outside which a typical girl would most likely enjoy being outside also just not doing the same activities. I would like to be out on the four wheeler just for a ride or going mudding, going fishing, camping or anything like that. I would see a typical girl just outside to be soaking up the sun or walking. They usually get grossed or freaked out by anything that would get them dirty or anything. But none of that bothers me at all; I think all of those things are fun. I just enjoy all of it.

Now clothes, they may not be too much different. I do have some clothes that a typical girl would wear. Like the name brand clothes, or the cute jeans. Also some dress up clothes and summer dresses. But I also do not wear those every day. Some days I just like to wear sweatpants or yoga pants and a t-shirt or sweatshirt. Usually the typical girl wouldn’t wear those types of things out, probably only inside. They would have to get dressed to go to the store or something. Whereas I could really care less. I also like to wear plaid/flannel shirts. They are my favorite. Along with my work boots. Those two things are also something you don’t really see the typical girl wearing.

One of the things that I don’t understand is make-up. I don’t see why girls wear it or say they have to wear it. I think it is the most useless thing in the world. Most of the time girls wear it to attract attention from guys. But does that mean they are going to wear the make-up all the time to keep that attraction? If they don’t like you without make-up then too bad, they are with you for the wrong reasons. I don’t wear make-up at all. And when would I wear it anyways? To class when I’m taking notes and learning from the teacher, or when I’m at the nursing home doing my job? Ah neither one. It just isn’t one of my priorities.

Girls. They worry about things that they don’t need to worry about. They just need to not care so much about the things that don’t really matter. That’s how I feel. But then again, I am different.
