On Not Losing Katie Oh November 18, 2007
Posted by Katie Oh in : Such As , trackbackthe thing that most people seem to worry about most in college is change, which simply baffles me, as that seems to be the point of these few years where we get to be both little kids and adults at the same time. i can’t even begin to count the number of times “nevar change!” was scribbled in my yearbook this year. well, i left the yearbook at home, so i definitely can’t, but i’m willing to bet it was a lot.
what’s funny is that i left the place where i Was that girl who everyone remembered due to my general outgoing attitude and sassy remarks and moved to a place where i am just another outgoing girl with generic sassy remarks. it’s almost masochistic, because now i’ve been forced to do the one thing that i both accept and resent: change itself.
i’ve changed in that i can no longer just make friends via other friends — i actually have to approach people. call people! if you know me, you know how rarely i call. it’s a katie oh thing. i hate talking on the phones. if you want to text, i am down, but i never call. but it’s change! good change. to be able to have to use a phone.
personality-wise, i’ve changed very little since, say, sophomore year of high-school. i’m pretty low-bullshit, high-honesty-telling, maximum-sass. if nothing else, this has leant me to being a pretty valued friend to a lot of people, or so i’ve been led to believe. looks-wise, well, i don’t even want to count how many pounds i’ve gained and lost in the past three years. it’s insane. but i still dress pretty much the same. actually, i have a picture for you all! this is pretty much how i would dress every day if i was given the chance.
yes, those tights are silver and shiny. it’s basically amazing. if they were not $40 a pair, i would own at least three pairs by now. they are fantastic and surprisingly warm. also, i do not have a huge white stain on my shirt; our mirror has part of a sticker still stuck to it.
uh, in short, i am lusting after shiny silver tights and working on accepting change. and now i have to actually go work on my 1200 word term paper instead of fooling around on here. ;]
