The world revolves around how we look. You may think I'm living off in "Barbieland," but the truth is that how we present ourselves reflects a lot on how the world thinks of us. A tall blonde college student in a hot pink blouse and high heels doesn't scream math genius. And the new short kid who wears bow ties to class every day isn't the first person you're going to ask about the social scene.

On an unexpected visit to the doctor I was sitting on the annoying table and I noticed, to my peril, that the mirror was slightly to my right. In order to see myself in the mirror I had to lean to the right and strain my neck a little.

I started to wonder, why is it annoying that I can't see the mirror? Why is it a necessity for me and others to see themselves constantly?
