Assertiveness (A Lack Of)
Post warning: I am going to be a baby butt whiner. Be forewarned
I’m not assertive enough. I’m not assertive enough on the phone with appointment bookers. I’m not assertive enough with professors who don’t get recommendations in on time. I’m not assertive enough in my personal life and I’m not even assertive enough when I’m shopping.
Let’s break this down. I’m not good at getting appointments set up. It’s my one major weak point when it comes to what I’ve been doing lately. I’m like 0 for 4 with the Alexander Wang people. It’s because I’m not assertive and the girl who does their appointments is way assertive. She tramples all over my perfectly coordinated schedules.
After 3 super panicky emails to one of the professors writing my law school recommendations, I finally got a response that basically said “people send in recs late all the time, chill the fuck out.” So not what I want to hear and so not what law schools look forward to in their applicants. I sent back a response that said “Thanks so much!” I really suck.
Let’s not even get into the personal life thing.
As for shopping, well I was at the LF Store Sale today and basically handed over a pair of shoes that I was planning on buying to a girl and her friend. The shoes were the last pair in my size, but they kept begging me so I caved. Really pathetic.
I’m going to try to be more assertive because not being assertive is making my life suck.
Now on to less loser whining!
Random cardigan, H&M shirt, random leggings, Wild Pair shoes, UO mesh necklace, random necklace.
I haven’t worn enough jewelry lately. My recent choice of accessory has fallen somewhere along the lines of……
Ah yes. A Krispy Kreme Cheesecake doughnut. For when you realize that someone special isn’t all that special. For when you’ve lost something irreplaceable. For when your lack of assertiveness makes your life shitty. Not for when you’re on a diet. I’m not kidding. These babies are like a meal’s worth of calories. But damn are they good.
Oh and woohoo Saints!
