I was six feet tall in college. My Body Mass Index was 16. I won’t tell you the weight that corresponds to that, because this is not a thinspirational post. The obsessive among you probably have the formula memorized and may figure it out. I know I would have. For those of you who have no idea what I am talking about, a body mass index of 16 is two points underweight. A healthy woman will fall between 18 and 24 on the index. I was not healthy. And yet, I was still too fat. Or that’s what everyone in my life told me.

For as long as I can remember, I've consistently been fooled into thinking someone's a good person based solely on how smart they are. Now, I don't mean that I refuse to make friends with anyone with an IQ below 130, I mean that I won't know you're an asshole until you do something truly disgusting if there's intelligence present. And I don't know what it is . . .
