Congratulations! ITS A NERD!

Okay so it might seem that I'm a little obsessed with this whole nerd thing *but* its who and what I am. If you google the word nerd, you'd see phrases like "a technically bright but socially inept person". The one that really stood out to me was "an insignificant student who is ridiculed as being affected (attacked) or boringly studious". Boring? Socially inept? HELL NO! A nerd is none of those things. Dude a nerd is an individual that is or may be a bit more intelligent than the average joe. And, furthermore, a person that marches to the beat of their own drum. In your face slimy search engines! 


So why are people gibed for being smart? I mean, as my mother always said, dumb ain't cute. So why would anyone want to be anything other than smart? Because its not cool? Welp i say FxCK THAT! There is nothing cooler than being intelligent, only dumb people would say some crap like that. Take what you've ever heard about nerds and burn it from your memory. Because we are sooo much more than what society has made us out to be.


Me, I'm the stereotypical nerd. I love to read, science is the absolute coolest subject ever (i'm a nursing student), and I have an extensive vocabulary. I'm always using some form of medical jargon that makes whoever I'm talking to go, "Huh?". In middle school, of course, I was picked on. And my eighth grade year was the worst year of school for me ever, it was hell. Literally. I was in a extremely bad car accident when I was six so the kids had plenty of material to work with. Plus I was huge, so you can imagine how life for me was.


 High school was a little bit better though. I acquired a lot of friends because I was nice BUT I still had hecklers here and there. But all that seemed to change senior year. To put it simply: I got hot lol. That summer I ran three miles a day, changed what I ate, and got a feel of my own style. I dropped so much weight, the next semester everyone was so shocked to see me. The same people who made my life hell were dying to be my friends and I was now considered "cool". Now that I'm in college people tell me that and I'm like hell that was news to me, I always considered myself anything but cool.


But here's the thing: I was always cool. Why you ask? Because I never stopped being me. While everyone was worried about who's going out with who and what to wear to homecoming, I was getting a feel for me. It made me a more grounded person. But back to that social inept thing. Honey please! I am a social butterfly. I'm outgoing, kinda wild, and I love to have fun ask my friends. And yes I have friends, all over too. In terms of style mine is a reflection of me: kinda crazy, classic, definitely hippie, and sporty at times but it all meshes well somehow. Some might call it, dare i say it: sexy. *gasp* Yes! Honey I am one sexy hunk of woman if I can toot my own horn for a second. *a-toooot tooooooooot!*


Nerds are sexy. Yeah I said it! There is nothing sexier than a man who can improve my IE security with add-ons *sigh*. I can give you ten reasons off the top of my head proving why nerds are sexy and by the time I get done you'll want to go jump the next Urkel's bones, guaranteed. And they are as followed:


10. We don't do phony, what you see is what you get point blank period.
9. Nerds peak later at life. Remember muscles don't last, but minds do.
8. We're reliable, plus we know all about awkward situations. Whenever you need us we'll be there.
7. "Jocks think about sports, nerds think about sex". Revenge of the Nerds put it perfectly. Yes practice makes perfect *but* planning out your method of attack guarantees a sweet victory. I'd like to think of it as guerrilla warfare.  
6. Nerds live by this code: if something's worth doing, its worth doing well. Which is ideal thinking when speaking of relationships.
5. A nerd will never take you for granted. Think about it, people don't exactly line up in droves to go out with a nerd. So when given the opportunity to make you happy, we'd fight Holyfield to ensure that happens.
4. We study EVERYTHING, the world is our instruction manual. Jocks might study porn or Playboy for hours but nerds study Kama Sutra...I'll the marinate. 
3. Nerds have long attention spans. When something fascinates us we'll spend hours exploring it. You should really consider this when the object of fascination is you.
2. They have small egos. A nerd will always do his or her best to stay humble in every situation. You'll never hear a nerd say, " Yo baby, when you gon let me get in them guts?".
And finally the #1 reason why nerds are so incredibly sexy is: We're big where it really matters. What is the most sexy body part of all? The BRAIN. Nerds have the heavy imaginative artillery to fulfill you every fantasy, hope, and dream. When we find something, or someone, worth holding onto we do everything in our power to keep it.


So now you see why NERD PRIDE is so close to my heart, it basically defines me and everything I'm about. It transcends everything that has ever been expected of people like me ( and so many others) that have often felt like outsiders, giving society a big F*CK YOU for overlooking us for so long. And if you've identified with anything I've said then congratulations, you're a nerd too. Welcome to the family.
