Self Image: Activity 3

Activity 3: Blog Entry
Consider some of the social pressures that you think may shape your behavior and personal image. List the images most commonly associated with the categories or ‘boxes’ you have already listed in Activity 1. 

How have you responded to social pressures to conform by adopting an appearance that relates to the categories that you feel you have placed in or have chosen?

I think some of the most commonly associated categories that I am associated with are the typical white girl and dumb blonde. Most people see that I am white and a girl and they think I like Starbucks and wear Uggs all the time. When in fact I do not own a pair of Uggs and I hate the taste of coffee. And people see that I am blonde and think that I am dumb when in fact I have almost all A's.  I have chosen to not conform to the categories that I feel that I have been placed in but being smart and not wearing or liking what "typical white girls" like.
