Stereotypes

Ridiculously dumb, aren't they?
And yet sometimes, completely dead on.
For example, take my major. Physics. When you think of a stereotypical Physics major, what do you think?
I know what I think.
Male.
Not Physically fit (whether it is overweight, or sickly, there is both)
Glasses.
Socially awkward.
And I would say a good number of them fit right in. However, I would say that the two most prevalent characteristics are Male and Socially awkward.
And then there is me.
A Physics and Math major.
Female.
OH. And I am blonde.
I am pretty sure I don't qualify to be considered socially awkward.
I'll tell you what. It makes for some pretty interesting classes.

Signing off,

The unintentional non-conformist

(Awkward) Third Wheel


It's only awkward if you make it awkward. 
Or so I've heard. I just don't know yet whether I agree or not. 
Because there are just somethings that are just plain awkward. 

However, I would like to argue one point. The term should not be "Awkward Third Wheel." 
Why?
Because my friend, the third wheel chooses whether or not to be awkward. Personally, I think the "Awkward Third Wheel" is only awkward if the other two wheels are making it awkward. 
(like excessive cuddling at a public function)
And then, the third wheel RETALIATES!!
