answers you are always looking for and never getting

Depressed? Everyone is, at some or the other point in life. Sometimes it doesn't take a lot to pull you down, and sometimes it takes everything to pull you down, eventually. 
So what do you do? sit in a corner and cry? yeah well, that is a very effective initial stress-letting-out technique. But then what? get up a and get on with life. You could do that, buttttt, you're not going to have satisfactorily released your stress. Break a plate or two, throw stuff around, THAT is what is more effective. Listen to your favorite songs, drown out the rest of the world, that is by far, the most effective method I'd say. Music is the singularly most powerful tool to shut out the rest of the world, all you have to do is crank up the volume on your ipod and you're all set!
through all this thought, there's one thing you must never forget. and that is, there are people in the world who love you.
No matter what you are, what you were, what you will be, they will love you nonetheless. Unconditional love? Maybe, maybe not. But they're people who you can fall back on. You know who those people are, but forget at a time when you need to remember it the most.
Make a note on your phone, set reminders for every two days, write it on your hand, stick a list on your wall, stick a post-it on every book you own, just don't let yourself forget it. 
Always looking for answers and never getting them is super-annoying. Knowing that even if you dont get those answers and are a mess, you have someone to fall back on, literally. Its gonna be a lot of people, not just one person. 
Like the lyrics of crash and burn by savage garden go,
Let me be the one you call 
If you jump I'll break your fall 
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night 
If you need to fall apart 
I can mend a broken heart 
If you need to crash then crash and burn 
You're not alone 



If you have people who are there to cushion your fall, make sure you're there to cushion someone else's fall to. Coz what goes around, comes around to bite you in the ass!

procrastination 101

writing a blog post is much more interesting than wasting time sitting in the Student Center listening to weird conversations. No I definitely don't want to listen to a professor conducting his office hours right in the middle of the room with an unusually annoying voice and a cell phone that keeps on ringing and is never silenced.
Sometime tell him, the silent button is there for a reason and study lounges are not the place to conduct your office hours >.<
the study lounge also is, apparently, now, a socializing spot for senior citizens. why is the only question I ask!!
To the lady who's pushing equipment around the room making an insane amount of noise, lady, we're studying/procrastinating. Leave us in peace! wow she's one pissed off woman! :O
toady's class discussion in global women's lit : In attempting to eliminate randomness, the person gives rise to a new kind of random randomness, therefore making the point of attempting to eliminate randomness moot. Therefore,  wise people should not attempt this, it will just lead to more randomness now.
In accordance with the class discussion, I attempt t create more randomness. Do my bit of goodness for the world by introducing more randomness in it to off-set for the randomness mad people try to eliminate .Thankyouverymuch.
Quick question, Are randomness and craziness proportional?
Addiction to spotify just reached new levels. Instead of opening facebook the first thing when I switch on my laptop, I switch on Spotify. hah!
So they kicked everyone out of the lounge again.
So much for my attempt to introduce randomness into this world. sigh.

as pretty as it gets...

So it is fall and everything around me is turning a pretty shade of yellow, brown and orange. If not for the cold, i would say fall is the prettiest season ever. I decided to talk a walk around the place I call "home" for now. I re-realised how much i love my campus, and that it is the prettiest out of all my college campuses :D
Testimony? My friend saying over and over again that she was in love with this campus. no kidding.


The steps to the cliff

Pretty colors, the sunset only makes them prettier 

The Raritan 

The place we call the cliff, only because it overlooks the Raritan

Vorhees chapel at sunset
                                                 

The walk around Douglass put me into a thinking-seriously-about-life mode. Yes, the trees made me do it, not my fault! The place is just so beautiful you never get tired of walking around, and that's something to say since I am lazy as hell.
I could try to compare the trees, the sunlight, the scenery to life, but that would be too cliched. What it made me think I should do what I love, study what I want to. At a point in time when i have a "Major" dilemma, pun intended, I think I have my answers. Sigh  Douglass, you inspire the shit outta me. Anyone with a major life crisis? Take a walk around this place, and you'll have your answers, much like instant coffee, instant food, instant everything :D
