Life
I’m a college student. If you ask any adult when in their life they had the most fun, they’ll say in college. Me? Not so much. I’m in college and I do Indian cultrual dance called Mohiniyattam, and I volunteer in the ER at Kaiser Hospital. I do these as extracurricular activities. Why? Because if you want to be in grad school these days, you have to have extra activities and be involved in your community. But keep in mind that if you do extra activities, your grades can easily drop. And your grades have to be good for grad school or even to just get a job after your undergrad schooling. So you want extra activities WITH good grades. But what do you do when your extra activities start taking over your life?
What do you do when your dancing for a program organized by people who can not seem to get their shit together??? Am I really supposed to open up my whole schedule and cancel all of my other activities just for this one program???? I bought a ticket to go to a Lupe Fiasco and Miguel concert a month ago, and the program isn’t till later this month! I bought the ticket AT LEAST a month before the concert and my friends and I were all going to go. BUT since you can’t get your shit together, and we might have rehearsal that day, I’m supposed to cancel the concert because you don’t really know what day the rehearsal is but it MIGHT be on that day??? REALLY? Am I really supposed to cancel all the plans I made just because the ADULTS I’m dealing with are NOT RESPONSIBLE?
Well, you know what I say? FUCK YOU!!!! I’m supposed to be studying and having fun! That’s my job as a COLLEGE FRESHMAN! But instead my life is being run over my something that you’re supposed to enjoy. Never in my life did I think I would say this, but I’m so DONE WITH DANCE! I’m not supposed to be this stressed out. I CAN’T FUCKING HANDLE IT! IM NOT SUPERMAN!
And to make things even better, I’m on a QUARTER SYSTEM IN COLLEGE. Which means I have midterms almost every week! And durring half of the dance practices, I’m standing around for AT LEAST 20 minutes doing NOTHING!!!! So guess what, FUCK THIS SHIT. I have to complete this program since I already agreed to it and signed up and paid and everything. But if you think I’m doing this next year… THEN STOP DREAMING!!!
