The Unspoken Story

Things that should be said but aren't.

Its late. I'm tired. I'm 20. 

Work is early tomorrow. Maybe I'll treat myself to a mocha or something. 

That picture on the left, my icon. Taken 4 years ago. 

Time speeds ups and slows down when you least expect it to. 

Over these last 20 years I've learned some things about myself. Things that I may have been to embarrassed to admit before. I'm glad I have a better picture of who I am now. Still growing but more in touch. Because I'm a prestige whore. It takes me a bit to warm up. I'm still competitive. I love the idea of being equal. I hate depending on others. Whats yours is yours and whats mine is mine. Except in very special circumstances. I value humility above all else. I am condescending. I always want just a little more. I'm afraid to be aggressive. I feel like I have to know my place in the world. 

Here's to another great 20 years. Seriously.

Beauty lies in simplicity. Simplicity lies in purity. Purity lies in innocence. Innocence lies in youth. Youth lies in naivety. Naivety lies in beauty.

Happiness is becoming harder and harder to find as we grow up. So when you stumble upon it for the love of God hang on to every ounce that you can hold.

At the end of day, don't we all just want to see the world and find someone who is willing to come along?

Serendipity:

What a wonderfully deceptive word.

A Little Help?

I remember reading an article on Tumblr about a man who sits on the street with a type writer, and all you have to do is name a price and topic and he will compose you poem. I know someone that I follow posted it so  if you posted that link could you please send it to me? I'm interested in reading about his story.

And now I’m just sitting on the floor wearing sweatpants with my college’s logo on them and crying into a cup of Ramen.

Oh my god this is fucking harsh and kind of an incredibly judgmental viewpoint of college in America. First off, that’s $20,000 in state for UConn if you live at home, out of state it’s about $46000, so that’s kind of skewed a lot. Just going to a public school isn’t necessarily going cost half of an Ivy League, plus the fact that most top notch schools match 100% of financial aid. Also I think average debt from school loans is way higher than $23000 or whatever it says. I wanna be able to say that 10 hours a week of partying is not true but…okay it probably is because all college freshman wanna do is drink because they can. I’m not one of those, but definitely a trend I’ve noticed. And just because those courses and majors are offered doesn’t mean a ton of people are doing that. And those classes probable have a lot more depth behind them than their name suggest. Like at UNH we have “Making Babies”, which sounds dumb but is about different reproductive methods (from what I’ve gathered of a quick glance at a summary).

Also that dig at social science/liberal arts majors? Get the fuck out. Thanks for lowering everybody’s self esteem.

I just don’t like skewed facts and I feel like they’re making people who go to more expensive schools look bad and college in America as this big terrible thing. Yes. I think college is way too fucking expensive. But at the same time I think it’s a great thing and that we have some amazing schools in our country, so don’t hate.

Can't decide how I feel about this post but let me just say that from an objective standpoint this is a BEAUTIFUL info-graphic. Well done, well done.

7:40 Wake up and proceed to shower

8:00 Get dressed pack bag

8:05 Head to bus stop

8:20 Walk to class

8:30 Pick up small coffee and parfait

8:40 Class Starts

9:12 Finish my parfait while listening to accounting lecture

9:15 Take my first sip of coffee

9:17 Should have put more sugar

9:20 Or maybe more milk

9:21 I don't like this bitter taste in my mouth

9:32 The bitterness starts to spread

9:40 Why I am here? What am I studying? Why does it matter? Am I going consumed by a life filled with emails, suits, and handshakes? I don't even like coffee but I drink it to keep myself awake. Is that what my life has come to? Doing things because I have to, not because I want to. Is this what I really want? 

9:57 I don't think I am going to have coffee anymore.

This girl is complaining about how she isn't spoon fed in more in college...

"Show me how to do something, then show me examples and then give me problems that I can try by myself. Don't just let me just do a problem by myself and then explain it to me."

Things change. I was resistive to this at first but I think it comes with being more independent and being considered a motivated, semi-intelligent student. I think struggling with a problem by yourself makes you more appreciate the solution and gives you context about why what you were doing was wrong.

I'm feeling empty and I don't think its just my stomach.

[sotheskymightfall]

If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, its yours forever. If it doesn’t, then it was never meant to be.

The day that I stop wishing for things to be like they used to be is the day that I start living. 

That day is not today.
