Opposite project.

I found that by being my opposite for a day, I really had to step outside of my comfort zone and that was uncomfortable. I looked at my process that I always use to start my day, wake up, fix my hair put on makeup and find clothes that match. I found myself to really be what most people would call a girly girl and so my opposite would be an extremely athletic girl who would wear no makeup, throw their hair up and put on gym clothes. So for opposite day that is what I did and when i went to class. I felt that people were looking at me differently, when they probably didn't notice or care what I looked like. It was more of a psychological issue than reality. I learned that I feel more comfortable in my own skin than being someone else. I also saw that people would treat me differently if I talked and acted the way I did when I was opposite. Overall, it was an uncomfortable experience, but I did learn to remember that if I wouldn't want to be treated badly for being different than I should make sure that I don't judge others.
