When I think of the term cool I don’t really have a specific image that comes to mind. I start to think of people that think they’re cool and then what I sort of consider to be cool. In my mind, what is actually cool is not trying so hard to be “cool.” No offense to the self tanning dudes in wife beaters or the girls who wear sun glasses bigger then their face, but that’s just not what i consider to be cool. I try not to judge based on “the books cover” but sometimes it’s inevitable. I just find myself being attracted to people who don’t try so hard or care so much. My closest guy friends have been wearing the same t-shirts since 8th grade and most likely can’t remember the last time they got their hair cut. But it’s cool to me because they’re hilarious and aren’t that concerned with what people think about them. But then again some of the people I’ve come across who seem like they would be the biggest idiots have become people I’m actually really close to. It all goes back to the saying we’ve heard a billion times, don’t judge a book by its cover. You just have to do what feels right to you, and in the end someone is going to think you’re cool, and those are the kind of people you should surround yourself with.

  1. Good post, Katie.

    Doesn't everyone LOVE fake-tan wife beater guys?

    We all make aesthetic judgments - however unfair it is. Sure, the book may be great, but some of those "covers"...jeez...
