there's one thing that i wish i wasn't--being judgmental. yeah, that's right, I'm always judging others based on what i have heard without verifying my information with anybody. like when i was little, i didn't like people with tattoos. and now i regret being so quick to jump to conclusion. i should have kept my mouth shut til i was old enough to know what the truth was, which was that people with tattoos aren't necessarily bad. but when i see people with them, i get terrified, because people don't approve of them and I kind of go with the flow, like sometimes i would just reluctantly agree with someone even though i didn't mean to just so that i could gain people's favors. i know i contradict myself quite a bit because i told you guys that i was not going to give in to peer pressure, but this is another issue that we are addressing here. it's not about peer pressure, it's about me being judgmental and not being able to keep my mouth shut when i should and i've been trying to work on that, you know. i used to think that colleges were filled with people partying all the time; turns out my preconceived notions have been proven flawed. and now i wish i can keep an open mind and not jump to hasty conclusions about things. this is something i really need to work on if i'm going into the social science field.

Try mindfulness meditation. You start to see what you are doing when you focus on your mind, and eventually you can make different choices much more easily, and see more options.

just remember that all generalizations are false, including this one.

Or don't assume or you will make an " ***" out of "u" and "me".
