i'd just like to point out 2c. after living in the dorms & being around people my own age constantly, there are a few ironies that i'd like to point out, all going straight back to how they're being immature bitches but then whine about how they aren't being treated like adults later.

1) trash.
if you're reading this you may know about the whole trash saga in our room where we've been trying to get our fourth roommate to take out the trash since last Monday. it's been a week & our room has smelled like rotting potato chips, molding oranges, italian food gone bad after sitting for days outside of the fridge, & just nasty. now, maybe you don't know what's going on & you're wondering why we don't just take it out ourselves-because since she moved in, we've been picking up after her, she's sloppy, & we're tired of her mess. her excuse for waiting so long? "there isn't a trash can in the study lounge or the kitchen". i've actually seen her walking between the two, not finding one, & just walking back to our room. meanwhile, the trash keeps on piling up. apparently she doesn't understand that the longer she waits, the more trash there's going to be, the more work she's going to have to do. if she just took the two minutes to walk to the trash chute, where the trash is supposed to go, she would have saved so much time. honey, your promises are as meaningful as trusting a pathological liar. more action, less talk.
trash in the stairwells. come on, walking to the trash room literally takes three minutes. it's good for your health to get off your fat ass & walk there, i say "fat ass" because leaving your waste in the stairwells implies that you're lazy- why else would you do this? from my experience (feel free to call me out) lazy usually equates to fat. however, fat does NOT equal lazy by any means.
2) drama. wow, yeah. so much drama this year it's been ridiculous. from what i've seen it's mainly because some people are afraid of confrontation. that's great, just don't make such a huge deal about it.
3) self-victimization. oh man, i wish i could remember this quote from A Pearl in the Storm by Tori Murden (sidenote: phenomenal book. check it out) but it goes something along the lines of, "the only way you become a victim is if you allow it." i think this is a beautiful quote because yes, terrible things may or may not have happened to you, maybe you did or didn't deserve it, but the only way you become a victim and become powerless is if you let yourself. & what bothers me is when others are getting completely bent out of shape & trying to twist the story to look like they were the victim to get pity & start shit when they were the ones to blame for everything. not once, three times.
4) friends who don't bother to get their facts straight. don't get me wrong, it's great that everyone has friends and especially ones that have your back, but you can't blindly take your friend's word for the truth all the time & get so worked up about a situation that you were NEVER involved in. you added yourself into the equation yet you're acting like everything is a personal attack on you as well. not understanding this.
5) this may not chalk up to immaturity...but obnoxious spending. i'm talking about people who complain that they have no money, how broke they are, & complain about how expensive everything is. however, all i see them do is go out, buy top line stuff, & passively try to find a job (or complain about how their job doesn't support their study habits). i want to make this clear that i am not attacking some one specifically.
6) pulling the fire alarms. i'm thankful this stayed as the thing of last sem & nothing more. but really, is it that funny to watch everyone evacuate because of you?
7) inability to take responsibility. such as being asked if you did or said something & you completely deny it, & it's not in the "did you fart??" kinda way. for lack of a better example, the condom wrapper on our bathroom floor. process of elimination...it works wonders. especially since the only thing that's changed in our room the entire year is you. this does not only apply to my room of course

to be treated like an adult, you gotta act like one first.

ps-i've realized that i've complained a lot on here, promise the next blog will be more positive
