Thanks, Ally!
GRAWR my classmates are such ignorant entitled privileged brats.
I mean, I'm a privileged brat, but I admit it, and I don't think I'm entitled.
Like, in economics today, our teacher brought up the huge gap between the average income of a caucasian family and the average income of african-american and latino families ($100,000, $8000, and $7000 if you're wondering) and all my classmates are like "Well if they work hard they can get better, there was racism in the past but now it's up to them" and "well they bring it on themselves with their attitude and gangster clothes" and "well I hate when people talk about how more black people should get scholarships, that's not fair to the white kids who work hard".
I (verbally, unfortunately) ripped them all to pieces. With my teacher's help.
These kids piss me off so much some days. I hate really entitled people.
Like, yes, my parents worked very hard to be able to give me the life I had. But I have had to do practically nothing. I have never had to earn what I have, and I didn't have to work beyond getting decent grades to go to my school. And I KNOW that, and I'm grateful for it, but I know it isn't fair, and when these kids get all entitled and snotty and "well it shouldn't be our responsibility they brought it on themselves" I just want to smack them all.
Anyway, I'm about to get started trying to catch up in Chem.
Game of Thrones is amazing.
Ok now i have alot of questions about what you are taught in class. Are you talking about the income averages on the island or world wide. Because i like to consider my family middle class and my mom makes no where near $100,000 a year. She is also a single working mother so that might play into because they might be mixing incomes from both parents.
Snotty people piss me off. I go to a college ful of rich suburbia kids who never needed an after school job, have no idea what bills are, and are the most pompous assholes on the face of the earth. I learned that very quickly freshman year, when they asked where i was from, i said Philadelphia and they all gasped. ITS ONLY 20 mins away! Why is that so fucking shocking?
I'll never forget the one conversation i had. I told a girl i couldnt do our class project this one day because i had work.
Her:"Well God why do you need to work!"
Me: "Uh because i need to make money to pay to go to this overpriced school"
Her: (in snotty voice) "So you pay your own tuition? Isnt that what student loans and parents are for? Didnt you get the memo?"
Me: (already really pissed off) "Sorry i dont want to be in debt, and wouldnt make my single working mom pay for college for me." (although to be honest regardless of my wishes my mom and grandmom pays for most of it... thing is I will pay them back one day)
Her: "Oh your like poor then right?"
Me: (walks away)
What's the assignment?
HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I love Game of ThronesI really want to watch another episode of Game of Thrones, but I have so much homework to do it's insane.
A lady in my school's main office asked me if my last name was Stark. I almost had a really geeky moment in the middle of the office hehe.
Game of Thrones is amazing.
