I am mediocrity incarnate up here.
My teammates not only find the time to run 50+ miles a week (I'm lucky if I reach 35), but they're all majoring in bio-chemical engineering or pre-med or double majoring with both.
According to US Weekly's college rankings, my SAT scores were on the lowest end of average for this year's incoming class.
While not everyone is Shelbi-thin, they aren't exactly overweight either... yet again, I fall into the average category.
In case you haven't crept on my roommate yet, she's naturally gorgeous. Bear wants to marry her. I just kinda fade into the background I guess.
Despite this, I've received several of the best compliments of my life:
"You seem like someone who would have great YouTube recommendations."
"Do you watch 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia'? It seems like a show you'd like."
"You're like the coffee master!"
(After hearing "Me want food" and thinking it was a 30 Rock reference) "You belong in journalism."
Oh well.. I suppose I'll just have to adjust to getting lost in the shuffle!

I don't remember who said this, but it was someone who was blacklisted.
ReplyDeleteWe must overcome the notion that we must be regular. It robs you the chance to be extraordinary and leads you to the mediocre.
