tumblr’s back babyyyy

i like dead flowers

this was sophomore year.

it’s my senior year now.

i’m going through a lot right now. somethings, i expected; others, i never would have thought it would be happening to me. i guess that’s why i acted so reckless.

school isn’t as bad as i thought it was going to be. it’s the same old and i know what i am expected of. i don’t mind doing my work and getting it in on time. it’s what i’m expected to do as a student.

i guess what’s harder for me right now is trying to accept my roles in society. i am to be a good daughter, helpful sister, supportive friend, and a productive member of society. i’m expected to have all these skills and experiences and i have no idea where or how to start.

i guess i’m kinda scared. what if it’s not even worth it in the end? what if i just end up working a shitty 9-5 job? was all this passion and hard work that college built me up to have for nothing?

right now, i’m just trying to focus on how to become the best nina i can be. i don’t know who that is, but i think i’m on an okay track right now. just finish school and work hard. connect with people and try to find the positive in everything. it’s a lot harder and straining than it seems. sometimes, i just want to give up and do nothing. was is this all even for? job security? money?

i don’t know...

#selfie #rant #text #college sucks ass

what i saw was pretty disappointing.

the whole exhibit was nice. you slowly walk into see the shadow. and the background music and suspense builds up to this beautiful nostalgic moment. when when you really see what is casting the shadow, it’s just a flimsy plastic leaf being blown by a $3 fan in front of a cheap lamp and mirror.

maybe i wasn’t supposed to look at that.

or maybe the artist was trying to show us just how easily our memories and nostalgia can be manipulated to make us feel a certain way.

idk. im tired

Back when the weather was hotter

and my hair was shorter

and my eyebrows were drawn thicker.

Back when I didn’t want to leave Korea at all.

Back when I thought I had everything figured out.

But I don’t want to go back.

Scott Pruitt’s $43,000 Phone Booth Broke the Law, Congressional Auditors Say

What the actual fuck.

And it’s Tax Day in the States today. Like this is where our tax dollars are going? That’s $43,000 going to some fucking dumb ass phone booth. That $43,000 would pay for my 4 years are Portland State University and then some.

Fuck this guy.

Trump Says Would Only Join TPP if Deal Were Substantially Better Than Offered to Obama

I don’t think this is even appropriate to call it an article because it’s literally two paragraphs, one being a quoted tweet from Trump.

One of my classes recently has been talking a lot about the TPP and I’m still not really sure on what it is. I just remember that Bernie Sanders was hella against it. What I’ve gathered from my classes is that it’s a multilateral trade agreement that’s been set to kinda go against China.

Honestly, I think that I’m just now starting to realize exactly how much power Trump has in this world; not just the United States... This. Entire. World. The way that his stupid tweet dropped multiple companies’ stocks and the way that his tweets cause so many people to go on alert.

I guess what is alarming is about this tweet is that--I’m not trying to build myself up to be this great, intellectual person but--based off of what I’ve been hearing Trump and his administration say, I feel that I am still fairly knowledgable when it comes to politics compared to them (in the least, I have my morals in check). The fact that I’ve been reading up on the TPP and have had the professor drill that into our brains for the past week yet I’m still not exactly sure how the results are going to turn out truly humbles me, but also terrifies me. Does Trump even know what the TPP is? Does he know the states involved in this trade agreement? Does he know the impact that it’s going to have on the US economy and the world economy? Does his administration? But most importantly, do they even care?

Maybe I should give them more credit.

Idk... I guess we’ll see how this plays out.
