How to be cool and other shallow stuff

And thus eight days had passed since she added to her public assemblage of recorded thoughts. She was filled with remorse at the complete and utter lack of consistency on her part, and consequently agonized over the appropriate means of making amends. What, she reasoned, could she do to regain the confidence of those who made it their habit to read that which she wrote? Alas, nothing came promptly to mind, and so, in her state of internal turmoil and agitation, she moved on. 

I can not even tell you how much fun that was. But I am done. It must have been boring.

Okay so to start out this post with a BANG, this video makes me laugh so hard I can't even explain it to you. Honestly I'm not sure why...it's my mood I suppose. 

So you know how you aren't supposed to be jealous? I man jealousy is a sin. So duh obviously we aren't supposed to do it. Well there are a few things I get very jealous of. 

1. When someone has a really nice car
2. Girls who are taller than me
3. "Cool" people AKA anyone I know

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Those might seem like stupid things to be jealous of (except the first one maybe) but hey, I do what I want. Not that I mean I want to be jealous...but you know what I mean.

Question of the day: What's something that every single person in the world thinks about every day whether they realize it or not?

Answer: What can I do/wear/say/fill-in-the-blank that would make me look cool?

Yeah don't even try to lie to me. Everyone EVERYONE wants to be cool, or thinks they're cool, or thinks about how to be cool. And before I go on, I have two things to say. 

• Don't read this and think I'm some shallow idiot like lots of people in this lame world of ours...there's nothing wrong with being cool. (USUALLY)
• When I say "cool" I'm assuming you know what i'm talking about, but just to clarify, I basically mean that you present yourself well and you have a good image and *ahem* you look good.

How freaking shallow and teenage girl-ish does that sound? Pretty darn. But remember, there isn't necessarily anything wrong with this and I write about what I think about so here you go. Judge if you want to Judge. (OR NOT. THERE'S ALWAYS THAT) 

You know those people who just try WAY WAY too hard to be cool? They wear like five hundred trendy pieces of clothing at once so you think they're rich? They try to use slang when they don't know what it means? They act like they're all that and a bag of chips...and everyone's like who is that kid? Yeah with those people I'm just like

 How to be Cool

These are just things that I find to be "cool" about other people

• First impressions are ALWAYS important. If you meet someone, don't be stupid about it.
•  Don't try too hard to impress people. For instance, if you're in a group and you're trying to get attention don't make idiot jokes at random times. That's so dumb.
• Be real. Always check yourself and make sure you aren't acting different than, well, you. It's so easy to get carried away and start acting differently around different people to fit in. If you're the exact same person as everyone else when you're around them...you won't be fun to hang out with honestly. 
• Put a little effort into what you wear. I mean sure, there's a time and a place for dressing down and wearing sweats (sweatpants are life) but even if you do, you aren't going to look super appealing to people around you if you literally look like you got out of bed that minute. 
• Don't think you're too good for stuff. Heck, I still play in the back yard with my sisters and I still bake cookies with friends when they come over and I talk to people who other jerks won't talk to (because let's be real...those are great people. If you don't want to talk to somebody because of how they look or talk...you are not being a nice person. Just sayin' it how it is.) You are ABSOLUTELY NOT too good to help out in the nursery, or do things that the popular kids don't do.
• Don't wear inappropriate stuff to get attention. You can be trendy without being trashy. Guys, if your jeans are tighter than mine, no. Just no. There's a fine like between guys' skinnies, and man leggings. 
• Be spontaneous and try new things. I hope that's pretty self-explanatory. 
• You don't need a boyfriend/girlfriend to be cool. Trust me. Please. 

I'm curious...do you agree/disagree with any or all of these things? I probably would if I were the one reading this (which makes no sense because I'm writing it myself so I obviously know what it says) But I don't know how to explain it. I think if you follow all of my rules for cool you're going to be an awesome person that everyone in their right mind will want to be friends with :) Notice I left out things like,

• Be nice
• Be yourself
• Be a good friend

Because those are lame. They just are. Like how many the heck times could you say "well duh!"

Everyone wants to be cool, and I'm not going to lie. Most people will think  you're cool mainly based off of your looks. I know that's super shallow and stupid but It's still really true. We can't deny that. But, I just want you to know, that if you don't buy all your clothes at American Eagle or H&M, and you don't have a different MK bag for every day of the week, there are  people (like me) who will think you're the coolest. All you have to do is present yourself in a positive way, like don't be a complainer, a gossiper or a liar, and you're automatically pretty dang cool. (Then the last step is to wear pants and a shirt that at least match people.)

Stay classy
