Don't judge a book by the length of it's skirt.

Random title I know, but it will make sense soon... I went out on Saturday Night to our local Bar...club..whatever you want to call it, and I couldn't stop noticing peoples appearances... How they looked, what they wore, if they were skinny, if they looked skanky.
Anyways I then found myself comparing my body and how I looked that night to the body's and looks of other girls.
It really wasn't good.
So there I was making fun of girls in my head, wishing I was skinny enough to wear the things they wore, wishing my hair would stay as straight as theirs.
It wasn't till Monday at a Bible study that made me think about how judgmental I can be.
As soon as I see a girl in a short dress. I automatically assume she's a sleeping around, or does seemingly bad things.
Really thinking about it, aren't we all like that at some point?
So judgmental about people, before we know them as a person. Before we know their story. They could be going through so much hurt and pain and we judge them by the length or a dress, or the fact they are dressed in leather biker gear. People need to stop making assumptions about other people's personalities and lives, not only is not good for our karma and ourselves, but does it really make you feel better "judging" someone because they have pink hair, or because they are a size 22?
No, it doesn't.
Only God can Judge you.
That's one thing I picked up from this bible study, of course I already knew that, but I think I needed another reminder. So, from now on I am going to work on being less judgmental towards people, stop assuming that a person is sleeping around because of the length of her skirt, or that girls crazy because of her dress sense.
Stop judging people before you know them, especially in a club or bar situation, if A girl is dressed in a
short, tight dress, it doesn't automatically make her slutty. Judging a book by the length of it's skirt, making assumptions. Chances are you won't see her again ever. Ever.
I think it will make me feel better, if I stop judging and comparing, but It will be hard, specially the comparing part. But if I can get the judging out of the way, the comparing of myself to others will slowly follow.
Hopefully.

So. Stop judging people before you know them, especially in a club or bar situation, if A girl is dressed in a short, tight dress, it doesn't automatically make her slutty. Judging a book by the length of it's skirt, making assumptions. Chances are you won't see her again ever. Ever. 

Make yourself feel better and make others feel better. Stop reading the front cover and open the book up and get to know someone before you judge them.

Respect~

Really hope my friends can accept the fact that I am becoming a better christian (trying to) and that I have faith in God...
I'm not going to ~Shove it down there throats~ or anything like that.
I just want all of them to respect that.
I used to go to church when i was younger. I don't feel that I have changed in anyway, in fact I feel like I've become a better person.
I won't make them come to church with me, I won't get them to read the bible. It's not like I'm going to be all up in their faces. As long as they understand what I believe then that's fine.
I respect what they believe and how the feel and therefore, because they're my friends they should respect what I feel and believe.

That is all..

An ending to a new beginning.

So, i came to the realization today that It was my last ever day of classes...
Apart from exams, my first year at University..is over. Done. Finished.

If I could sum up my experience for my first year at Waikato..it would be.. (generic word) AWESOME!
Unlike my high school years I had no drama with anyone or anything.
Classes actually weren't as hard as people make them out to be, I've got reasonably good grades, A few B's a few A's the odd A+ and I'm happy with that. The only issues I had were with money and even then that wasn't so bad.
I have had so much fun, living here in the halls of residence, making new friends, finding old ones.
It really has been an amazing experience!

Here are some photos from my first year!

This is my room! Notice my wall, and the Spookers poster on the door :P
