I'm Not A City Kid

The city is poisonous, it eats your soul, somehow a sick part of me loves it.

I'm Not A City Kid

I’m going to go crazy.

This is happening.

Hang tight.

Be patient.

This is inevitable.

My tolerance to deal with the monotonous practice of the human society will end.

This has already started to happen.

My head and chest will continue to become uncomfortably with oversaturated physical sensations.

This will continue.

With every day spent in the city.

This will continue.

Each inhale invites a poison.

It’s the recycled unstable, toxic environment one absorbs from a fast life in a sick city.

This is what I blame for my going crazy.

You can recognize me as such.

I know better than anyone.

That’s fine to me.

I'm envisioning an exit strategy.


I'll disappear overnight.

Find me lost on a desolate spec.

It will be in the beautiful landscape that seems infinite.

It will be all mine.

My Nirvana.

An escape from the way it’s supposed to be.

I was always supposed to be there.

I always wished to be there.

This place has no stoplights, no concrete roads, nor traffic, even when times make you suffer it will hurt less.

There, you can be free.

There will be no authority to abide by, guided only by morals and your happiness.

I’ll forevermore be found residing there at this isolated address.

Once I find it.

Never to be sickened by unknown contaminates again.


But for now, I need the city.

There is no leaving it anytime soon.

I’m not meant to be here.

But, I’ve found a way to manage its venom.

I’ve found a way to make myself function in it.

And to be honest, right now, I feed off of it.

I get a high from this fast life.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
