Label and Name Tags

Today I came to a realization. Today brought to my attention the fact that many people live their life based on labels and the expectations that go along with these society made epithets. In many facets of my life I ignore these expectations, though lately I have really take these labels to heart. Why is it that when you first meet a fellow college student one of the main questions people ask is "What are you majoring in?" While this is nothing more than a friendly gesture, along with it comes a tag. A name tag that specifies what people expect you to do with your life and who they think you are. The other designation that has really been bothering me is the difference between "girlfriend," "dating," and "friend." These are my thoughts... The feelings I have for each of my friends should not be labeled on the fact that I call them my friends. In fact it is just the opposite. If someone means everything to me they should be treated with the feelings that are in my heart. Why should I let a label distinguish how I feel about someone and more importantly how I should treat them. There is a conclusion to these thoughts... it just hasn't completely surfaced yet... I'll keep ya'll posted
