Caitlin- Week 5

School teaches us so many things that we never use in real life. It’s pretty frustrating sometimes. I wish we could learn real life skills and not useless formulas and facts. I also wish school was more about learning and making mistakes, and less about memorization. School feels like it’s just about passing the class and not about learning. I’ve left some classes at the end of the year and thought to myself, what did I even learn? All I remember is figuring out how to get the grade and move on. I wish school was less focused on just the grade, and more about actually learning and taking something away from it. 

Athena - Week 5

So I bought heels for cotillion. The thing is, I’m smart, I know that heels will hurt my feet and I will end up barefoot, but a part of me was just like, I need to have heels. So I bought some, knowing full-well that I am going to regret it. I think I’m crazy.

week five

It's scary how fast high school has gone by. Everyone told me that it would feel like no time at all, but I didn't believe them until senior year. I'm glad I'm almost done with school, but I also have regrets about not spending more time with my friends and giving up all my time to school. I'm trying to make up for it now, but I worry that I don't have enough time.

Week Five

I love Rex Orange County. My favorite song of his 'Never Had the Balls'. All his songs just hit me every time and I feel like I can hear his emotion in them, this is the first celebrity I have ever idolized. I think It’s super strange when people obsess over ‘famous’ people, although, on a much smaller level I can relate just a little bit now. 

Aastha - Week 5

When I was younger, I thought that feeling pain so another wouldn't have to was one of the noblest things a person could do. Bollywood movies taught me that. I imagined the picture-perfect couple brought together by pain. Now the world seems more complicated. I don't want anybody to feel pain. I don't think partners would feel any good at their partner's pain. But now, now I don't understand the meaning of being noble and if putting yourself in harm is noble in all cases. Or if it's just stupid. 

Lea Mezz - Week 5

Everyone knows that college students love to party. Most know that a lot of times adults are not interested in parting anymore. Adults want to have kids and settle down (sometimes). Kids want to have fun and don’t want there to be any consequences for their actions. It amazes me how with age the mind grows and changes over time to want different things. Obviously in some rare cases their is an outlier but for most part within the different periods of our lives we all usually want the same thing. 

Week 5

This weekend I was with the side of my family we rarely see.  It was for my little cousin's birthday party. It was really nice to see everyone that I don't really see. My older cousin just got back from London and I didn't even know she went! Except after seeing everyone me and my cousins made a plan to go visit my other cousin that could not come to the party. It was really nice to see everyone.
