#898 confession: sometimes during 3.091 assessments I take more paper than I actually need...
#895 I'm not a lesbian, but I really want to go down on a girl.
#894 I can't stand it when I'm stuck behind a mob of slow Asian tourists when I'm late for class
#893 The older I get, the more I realize that life isn't such a big deal after all. I almost want to be my stupid, rash young self again. Life was more dramatic and colorful back then, methinks.
#892 There's this one freshman girl that I really hate without having actually met her. She just constantly thinks she's the center of attention. Like, stop.
#891 What is worse: being ignored or rejected? I honestly cannot tell if my friends are ignoring me or have rejected me already. MIT is a stressful school and it affects everybody, I know. What I dislike however is people releasing their stress and anger on other people, specially among friends. I care about all my friends, but I dislike being left out or ignored by people just because they are having a tough time. I understand you have your own things to do and I respect that, I don't want or need your complete attention. All I am saying is that a little smile or little conversation between friends is helpful. Just because you are stressed or some other life issue is going on doesn't mean you have to stop being friendly to people, or ignore people who are trying to be friendly with you. Maybe this might be a case of holding grudges among friends. But one simple suggestion to everybody that holds grudges, ignores people, and tries to make life miserable to others: Stop it, what is there to gain? This is foolish but life comes only once. What is there to win from holding a grudge, ignoring people, and trying to make other people miserable? Maybe your ego goes up but in the end you just don't make friends. So stop with the grudges and hand out smiles and converstaions to new people you see, even people you might dislike. But specially to those close friends that you might have pushed away sometime. Nobody wants to loose a good friend or make new enemies. I really hope my friends and everybody here at MIT realize this. I am tired of feeling ignored and rejected by those who I care most here at MIT.
#890 I should really just get a shirt that says "World's biggest hypocrite"
#889 So for the past few months I've noticed that I don’t really emotionally feel anything anymore. I’m not saying I’m depressed (which could be the case, I don’t even know), but I don’t remember the last time I've felt truly happy, excited, or hurt over anything. I just maintain a neutral emotional level, not getting too high or too low. And I don’t get feelings for girls the way I used to anymore either. I used to get the occasional crush growing up but now I can only tell if I think a girl is attractive or not, and even if I think she is, I don’t get that feeling of arousal. I’m only 19, I don’t like this. Is it all related? I wonder if there are people who have the same issue...
