Minimalism

Did you even consider how other people would feel if you lied about colleges? Ever take into consideration their feelings?

Sure you say it’s a joke, but some people actually care about their college, unlike you.

Maybe because, it’s our future and all, and we’re taking a risk by taking on a shit load of debt just to make sure we can get our degree and hopefully find good jobs.

Doesn’t it ever strike you that it stresses us out like crazy?

It stresses me out like crazy.

Here I am preparing to go 15k into debt a year just to finish my undergraduate education at UC San Diego.  Here am I preparing to work my ass off in order to graduate in 3 years so I can reduce the money I owe.

And then I’ll be going to Law School after, and take on debt into the 6 figures.

That is, if I get into law school, because if I don’t get into law school, I’ll be stuck with a shitty degree and 60k in debt.

But I guess, the future of other people don’t matter as much when you got a joke to play, right?

Oh and let’s consider the people who WANTED to get into UC San Diego, but didn’t get in.

They’re mad as fuck because you think college admissions are a joke.

I know at least 5 people who spent weeks worrying over their waitlisted status from UC San Diego, only to be crushed when they found out the waitlist wasn’t accepting anyone. 

Who knows, UC San Diego could have been their dream school.

And that dream had been crushed.

Wow, joking about getting into UC San Diego in the school newspaper must have seemed like the right thing to do for these people huh?

Oh, and there’s also the people who are going to your real college.

That must make them feel better, that you think so lowly of your own college.

Oh and let’s not forget the efforts I and many of my peers put into in order to get into a good college.

You know, the 8 years I spent as a boy scout, the 4 years I spent helping out my community.

Or that one year when I was a Junior and I had to juggle 5 AP classes, and spent nearly 10 hours a night on my homework.

Or that one time I spent a month writing and stressing on my personal statement.

And that’s just me, because plenty of other people went through a lot of shit for college.

And the efforts of me and all those people must mean nothing to you.

After all, it’s a just a joke.

Which part of it is a joke to you? The part where you lie about the college you got into? Or the part where half my life means nothing to you?

It was a poor and stupid joke.

Because treating my future and my friends, the crushed hopes of others, and the hopeful futures of more like a joke is totally acceptable.

Oh and if this was an attempt to gain attention, congrats, you gained more attention.  Because igniting the frustrations, the anger, and the sadness of people is totally worth some small, negative attention.

You’re despicable. You’re disgusting. You’re a joke.

See what I did there?

YOU PEOPLE ARE SO STUPID.

Those facebook chain things and it’s like “like this if you love god, ignore if you don’t”.

What, so if there a billion facebook users, and you got 20,000 likes, then you’re saying less than .01% of facebook doesn’t like god.

That promotes your religion how?

Then I don’t understand, at the end of that post, there some half naked guy going “Want 2000 friend requests? share this and subscribe and I’ll share you.”

I see this message on every one of those facebooks who spam “Like this if…”

Like are all of you the same bots? Are all of you the same person with multiple facebooks?

These facebook “like whores” also spam shit from tumblr/reddit, that I’ve seen like half a year ago. It’s facebook, you’re supposed to be posting about yourself and stuff you like, not random shit that will get you attention from other facebook idiots.

Also, one of the “like whore” posts was “like if your height is from 4’10 to 6’2”.

What the heck? JUST ABOUT 99.99% OF EVERYBODY IS IN THAT HEIGHT RANGE. WHAT A STUPID POST FOR ATTENTION.

There’s probably more to this rant but I can’t even think right now lolol.

Stupidity reared his stupidly half dyed red hair in forensics today. Stupidity told everyone that he was hoping that he would be accepted into UC San Diego.

Okay this lie really pisses me off.  First of all, no offense to anyone who got rejected from UCSD, but Stupidity, if you had truly applied to UCSD you would have already gotten your rejection Email, so stop hoping, idiot.

Anyway, I REALLY REALLY hate his lies about Calc 3, and now UCSD.

Think about it, the guy is in geometry, and his brain can barely function enough for him to dye more than half his hair, and he blatantly lies about being in Calc 3.  Somehow taking about 5 years of MY TIME taking math, and pissing all over it.  He belittles over 5 years OF MY EFFORT.

Now Stupidity has a 2.0 GPA.  He says he applied to UCSD, and in the same breath, in the longest sentence I’ve ever heard him say, he put down SJSU as a bad school.  Okay Stupidity, you can’t even APPLY to a UC with a GPA under 3.0.  And you’re a fucking idiot, you should be HAPPY to get into SJSU, because you belong at a beauty school, learning how to properly dye your hair.

Lying about UCSD does the same thing to me as lying about Calc 3.  It hurts to know all my work is useless cause shit like you legitimacy think you have a chance at a UC.  Just stop it.

Don’t ever put down SJSU, plenty of people go there, and it’s not a bad school at all.

Also I apologize if I sound a little elitist talking about all the academic work I do.

So on Friday, my Japanese teacher gave us a list of about 20-30 Kanji we needed to know how to read and/or write by Tuesday.

That gives me 5 days to study 30 Kanji of a language I hardly even know.

Last year Voss gave us 3 weeks for 30 vocab in English, a language I’ve known for over 12 years.  How do you justify us students knowing 30 Kanji in 1/4th of the time?

Some of these Kanji aren’t even useful.  Why do I need to know how to write the Kanji for “suu”(to smoke).  Seriously?  My class barely even knows the difference between dictionary and full form.  Shouldn’t you at least work on that instead of “suu”?

Also when my class complained that there were too many Kanji, my teacher’s reply was “But J1 needs to know at least 110 Kanji.”  Okay good point, but “kyoukashou”? Really? or “byouin”? or “furo”?  I don’t even know what these Kanji mean on their own yet.

I hate how every single fucking scholarships requires “demonstrates financial need”

Man what the fuck.  I understand the lower class needs help, but most if not all of their college is subsidized by the federal or state government or the college itself most of the time.

You’d think scholarships would be reserved for people who have to pay for all of their college.

And I hate when people point out my family can take the hit.  Yeah until you realize my parents will be paying 20 straight years of college at full price for me, my brother, and my sister.  At some points, half my parent’s income will be going directly into college alone.

I was trying to watch a 33 second youtube video.

They gave me a 30 second ad.

30 second ad.

That’s like when I was younger trying to watch Pokemon for 22 minutes and getting 20 minutes of Viagra commercials first.

Then the ad needs to buffer.

That’s like the Viagra commercial stopping halfway to load while showing some creepy old guy’s face saying how happy he is now with his old wife standing behind him.

But the video doesn’t need to buffer.  What is this youtube.  I wasted a minute of my life watching your stupid ad to watch a 33 second video.
