Three Types of Women

               Before reaching college I only know two kinds of women in the society, the straight females and the lesbians. This perspective about women changed when I reached college. In college I have discovered three types of women; there are the straight, the pirm and the lesbians.

              First are the straight ones, they are very common. They are seen everywhere in the school and they are not new to me because I am one of them. They can be identified easily because this kind of a woman wears lady-like clothes. They are usually conscious of their physical appearance. They wanted to look beautiful and presentable especially when cute boys are around. They are often insecure of other girls and it is very rare that they would appreciate one another.

               Second are the pirms, they are very similar to the straight females except that they are not only attracted to males but also to their own kind. They have a strong attraction towards another female but they do not act in a manner considered boyish. Also, they do not wear men’s clothes; they wear clothes in a way they would look like a straight female. They are not explicit about their identity; they hide themselves from the society.

                 Lastly are the lesbians, they are the females who are also attracted to their own kind like the pirms except that they are showy about who they are. They wear men’s clothes and acts manly. They think of themselves as male human beings. Most of the time they posses short hair like a man. They are also called homosexuals.

                 The society is very fastidious when it comes to gender issues. If only the society would be more open about gender issues there would be more people who would reveal their real gender preference. Most of the time those people who hide themselves are afraid to be judge by the society.

     Having been a college student for almost 8 months, I can really tell the differences between my high school and college celebration of occasions. First of all, my high school and college celebrations differ in duration. In high school, we celebrate the foundation of the school for only two days while in college we celebrate it for one week. Second, high school and college celebration of occasions also differ in the number of activities. In high school, they give a lot of importance to academics rather than extra-curricular activities. So there are only few activities held during high school celebrations. In college, on the other hand, though they also give a lot of importance to academics they can still manage to keep the balance in academic and non-academic activities. In college there are numerous activities being held during a celebration like dance contests,singing contests and banner-making contests. Finally, high school and college celebration greatly differs in the way they celebrate occasions. In high school, we celebrate occasions in the simplest way we can. We only conduct one or two programs and we conduct these programs within the school. In college, we celebrate occasions with many programs like sayawtenista,awitenista and sports fests, these programs are usually extravagant programs. Also, in college sometimes they conduct these programs outside the school. Truly, there is a big difference between my high school and college celebration of occasions.
