So I have this student in my class that just started yesterday who looks a lot like you.

Does she act a lot like me?

I don't know yet.

I hope so for your sake.

I hope so too.

I do hate when people tell me that someone looks like me.

Yeah, it always makes me nervous because you texted me yesterday and you're like, I've got a that someone looks like me. Yeah, it always makes me nervous.

Because you texted me yesterday and you were like,

I've got a girl that looks like you in my class.

And I was like, great.

I can't wait.

Yeah, because I feel like, first of all,

our perceptions of ourselves are so different.

And I mean that like my perception of me is different.

The face I see in the mirror is different from what I feel like other people see.

Yes.

And I will, I told you this on text.

Like I will never forget in college I had this really negative experience that was

partially my own fault and made me realize my own arrogance and pride and vanity. It was awful.

But, like, a new freshman girl was on campus, and everybody was like, oh, it's another Annie. And I

saw her, and I was like, is that what I, is that what I look like? Is that? Is that what I look like? And it wasn't, I'm not saying she was unattractive, but it was like a rude awakening. Like, oh, I thought I looked different from that. Yeah. And look, college was not the best time for me. College is not the best time for most people. Well, people say high school.

I think I honestly looked better in high school than in college, because in high school my mother was still helping with my grooming. And I only figured myself out in grad school, so like, I don't know. Yeah, I have way better style now than I did in college, for sure. But in high, like, my senior year of high school, I felt like I had pretty, like, I knew who I was.
