Burnout Wanna Dropout

My summer classes just started. It’s a 6 week course for two classes. I don’t think I want to keep studying. I’m working towards a degree I don’t care about, towards a field I don’t care for, and for a future I don’t even want. I’m already a semester b...

Highly Unlikely Statistics

I’m so amazed at how many people on here take my side. For all you know, I could be a villain masked as a victim in these stories I write. Just because of how I structure my words, I suddenly seem so pitiful. I do think about my situations and try to s...

My Stale Croissant

For the past few days, my mom had been busy with work so she hadn’t had time to cook at home. This left my aunt angry as she was picky with her food and refused to eat leftovers. She’s been on a hunger strike again while everyone else in the house is e...

Falling in Love with You

I fall in love very easy. I wouldn’t really call it love but maybe more like an infatuation. I’d even encourage myself to find more guys to have a crush on. Because I get so easily bored with my life, having a crush on someone makes it more interesting...

Social Anxiety

Does anyone else feel this way or can everyone nonchalantly strike up a conversation with strangers? One of the members in my club/fraternity invited me to hang out with them and their friends. I don’t try to make friends at my university because I fin...

Far Away Trip

After finals and taking care of my extended family. I’ve been wanting to go on some type of trip. I want to go by myself, somewhere far so the drive can relax me. Maybe to a secluded ocean that doesn’t have a shit ton of people. Somewhere quiet. I don’...

Three Anchors

Last year, I had my extended family emigrate to my country. My auntie, uncle, cousin (uncle’s daughter), and my uncle’s wife came over. I hate them. My auntie is partially deaf and coming from a third world country, my mom pulled her out of school at a...

Post-Finals

Tuesday I had 4 finals. It was brutal. I spent 3-4 days straight studying 16 hours per day. I’d wake up at 3:30 am, get dressed, drive to Starbucks (which opens at 4 am), study there till 12:30 pm, need a change of environment so I’d drive to the loca...

Jealousy Jealousy

I hate my sister. I hate how she treated me. I hate how everyone else falls for her fake persona. Even though I know it’s wrong and impossible, I wish everyone would treat her badly. She preaches about apologizing and taking accountability for her acti...

Nostalgic Cherry Plums

When me and my sister were younger, and were on better terms, every summer, we used to go to our neighborhood park and pick cherry plums off the trees. Cherry plum trees grow in abundance but I think very few people know that the fruit of those trees a...
