I’ve been going to the same school since first grade—I’m in ninth grade now—and I’ve had the same group of people around me for a long time, which is great. The thing is, I’ve always gotten good grades and I’m stuck with this smart girl image. Nobody sees my other sides and I don’t know how to show them to people. [x]

things i needed people to tell me in high school   and in college   and to add:   if someone wants you to stop being that girl   or if you feel self conscious about being the smart girl because of the people around you   those are not people you want to surround yourself with   and you shouldn't ever feel bad about that   or hide your metaphorical light under your metaphorical bushel   just be smart and get what you get out of your education and fuck everyone else   gif set   gillian jacobs   thanks for that
