Jesse and Matt have an extremely dirty apartment. Their kitchen is full of ants. This morning, Jesse walked into the kitchen half-awake and took a swig of apple juice. When he put the bottle down he noticed there were 20+ dead ants floating inside of it. And now there are about 20 dead ants floating inside of him. Gross.

And because that previous paragraph had no substance to it whatsoever, I'll bring up an interesting conversation I had with Austin recently during lunch. We were talking about how no one at Haverford is UGLY and how because of that everyone seems to exude an air of confidence. Granted, not everyone is HOTT but no one is actually ugly. And I think that knowing you're pretty/handsome to some degree gives you confidence and self-assurance. And I think I'm guilty of that. I mean, it's not a sin but it's interesting to note that a part of your confidence comes from your appearance. I'm not saying that because someone is attractive they automatically have a ton of confidence or because someone isn't attractive they don't have confidence. I'm just making a GENERAL comment. Because of the way society is, being more attractive helps you a lot in life. When you meet someone for the first time all you have to go by is their appearance. And people generally warm up more to new acquaintances if they tend to be attractive.

I'd like to say that my confidence doesn't come from my appearance, but I'd have to alter my body/face for a week to be able to say that truthfully.

The conversation with Austin reminded me of a conversation I had with a friend over the summer. We were talking about making friends and meeting new people, and I brought up how I find it easier to make friends with guys. And he said, "Oh well that's because you're pretty." After that comment I admit I was a little put off. I didn't know what to say. Is it true? I don't want to be cocky but I dont' want to be dishonest either. I really don't know. Maybe it is. I don't think I can actually know something like that until I walk a day in someone else's shoes and see if my confidence or my friendliness is toned down.

Well I could definitely delve into this topic more. This entry was rather crudely put together. I attempted to organize my thoughts and write this post with style, but I'm in a bit of a rush because I have things to do before I go to a Multischolars Program dinner in ten minutes and then head to Prelude Christian Fellowship at night. Hm...ten minutes. That's not much time for me to do anything. Oh well.
