Liar Liar

The past few days I have clearly found flaws in my 'open atmosphere'. It's true that college is open and free--but that doesn't mean everyone's open. In fact, if you lie a lot you stick out like a sore thumb in my opinion. There's a reason for this that liars don't realize:

Everyone talks about everything. If you change your story, people will put the pieces together.

Another thing... people don't forget. You don't get your slate wiped clean every night. Everyone's allowed a fuck up or two--we're human after all. But if you're consistently a douche every other day, you can't expect a warm welcome.

Starting over at college means no allies, or people who have a reason to stay by you no matter what. You create allies by building trust. If people notice you're inconsistent, their opinions of you will change.



And you know, there's a difference between forgetting a few details or trying to be nice and being mean.

Just a few thoughts. Honesty is the best policy.
