Observation 7

I believe that I don't fit a specific stereotype and I try to keep it that way. I like to be independent and not fit in with a group that has a specific stereotype. For example, I could easily fall into the stereotype of the fraternity guy because I am from the south and have access to all of those same things, but instead I choose to not be in a fraternity and be independent. If I had to describe myself in the sense of a stereotype I would say that I fit the male romantic stereotype and musical stereotype. I don't dress like one would think that would look like, I don't wear super tight pants and small shirts, but I still play and enjoy music. I could also be stereotyped as a nerd because I like studying and learning, but I don't wear glasses or a pocket protector. In this sense I look at myself as myself and I define myself not by how I dress, but how I act and feel. If you wanted to get technical you could identify me as wild maybe based on the fact that I have a tattoo, or even athletic based on the fact that I work out. I would say both of these aspects are true of me, but they are not what define me as a person. What I do and what I believe defines me as the person I am and want to grow up as. I am a Christian, and this can be shown by my tattoo because it is a Christian tattoo. I think I dress like a normal person, but inside I am different from the average college student you see walking down the hall or across library bridge. I like to bring more to the table than just the typical southern frat guy, hip-hop wigger, guido, or emo kid.
