I'm just rambling a bit really.

So the last time I made a blog post was two months ago, and I feel like I should have been updating this blog a bit more often.
What would I write about though?
How hard college is? It seems like everyone's being talking about that.
How great my trip to India was? Yeah it was pretty awesome but I find it hard to sum India up so that blog post would probably be the size of a novel.
How wonderful Thor was? It was pretty wonderful and I did really like a little bit of shirtless Thor, but I had a feeling that blog post would mostly be "OMFG ASJAGLIUGF TOM HIDDLESTON/CHRIS HEMSWORTH"

That left me with.... nothing. Absolutely nothing to talk about.
But I've decided that I am going to talk about college, but now about how hard it is, because we all kind of get that now, but more about the social aspect of college.

Socially, college sucks.
A lot of my friends have gone to different colleges, which has forced me to try and mix in with a different social group: bad idea.
You know when clever people are at school, they think that they're really clever, and it's okay because it's just school and there's not too many of them? But at college, all the clever people from the different schools have come together, formed one large social group, and are ruining my life.

I won't go into the details of why, but let's just say ignorance is not always bliss. Being ignorant is fine sometimes, but sometimes, you do have to care about other people's problems, or at least know about them so you can stop yourself from saying something offensive or rude, or at least be able to realise when you've said something unpleasant.

I hate being one of those girls, but let's face it; a large majority of white, straight, privileged men are very ignorant to many problems in this world. They know about racism and sexism, but don't bother about it. They don't care about it. They're just simply a little bit ignorant, and when many of them come together in one large group: it's hell.

They also don't apologise. They've been taught to assert their authority.
I, on the other hand, as a brown girl, have been brought up knowing that apologising is the only way forward, and I've been shown by the media, by movies, and by stories, how coloured people and women are always second best if not third best or fourth best to everyone else.

And that irritates me. I think it irritates me more since by having spent the last four years of my life in an all girls school, I didn't come across many people like this.

So to sum up: College sucks, people suck, I don't like it, Thor was great, India was great, I just want to spend the rest of my life reading books and listening to music by myself.




PS. Watch this video. I think it's really moving.
