first-world dilemmas:

- having to decide whether or not to buy two of the same sweatshirt in different colors because you can't decide which one you like best
- not having the requisite combination of black and brown shoes: both close-toed and open-toed in both heels and flats
- toaster or toaster oven? electric or gas stove? convection oven??
- needing a new backpack because suddenly everyone else has yours and that's just not cool. being a trend-setter is not fun, it's annoying
- whether to donate to the world children's fund or your favorite football team
- deciding the interest of a stranger's personality based on the brand and style of their shoes
- not having enough money for the organic milk AND the organic fruit AND the organic free-range chicken broth
- buying meals from vending machines for a week because you don't want to walk to the grocery store in the cold and have to carry the milk back
- study for your university statistics final or take pictures of yourself for 20 minutes to get a new profile pic that displays you to your best advantage?
- staying home from the nursing home caroling project because you don't want to put a skirt on

I have decided that the vast majority of people are just average-looking. the beautiful people are grossly over-represented.
I have also decided that most first-world citizens don't realize how absolutely ridiculous they are.
