Recently I watched a movie called The Neon Demon that showcases a society where people only care about you if you're good looking, it's quite gory and tragic but it has a really interesting take on this topic that people seem to ignore for the sake of being a good person. When in reality, there's nothing wrong with talking about it, and in fact, it could help people who feel insecure about themselves, if done correctly. This movie showcases the obsession of beauty as something toxic and distopic. There's even a theory called Lookism that says that if you look good people will treat you nice your entire life or at least until you lose your looks. It's like racism but ''lookism'', like being racist but not because of your race/skin but the way you look. This theory is absolute bollocks in my opinion and so many young men have created online communities where they straight up ask other men if life is even worth living because their noses have a

I love parties, I've been to maybe 10 since a year ago, so not that many. I don't even know if anyone's going to read this so I might aswell just have fun with this entry. But god, I love them, part of a reason as of why I wish i had more friends was because I really am a party animal. I love being in a place surrounded by friendly people getting all intoxicated and letting it all out, the energy is awesome. When I used to work at this one school I went partying the last day with my workmates and we drank all night long. It rocked. The feeling is amazing. I'm just so sweet and nice when I'm drunk and the people who gave me a chance to get to know me now that I'm a fun time when I drink. Sometimes I'm just sad and depressed because there's nobody to invite me to a ''peda'' or whatever because I'm annoying or obnoxious or weird or whatever. Like come on...have mercy for me. I'm only 21. I just wanna have fun!!! One of my f

Warning: contains curse words and NSFW topics. Today's mini-topic is a little informative and preventive thread about students feeling attracted to a teacher or professor while in college. (maybe a little pointless , but thought It'd be fun to write) It is an undeniable fact that the way attraction works doesn't limit itself to people outside of work or school, absolutely not. Even if you have a girtlfriend or a boyfriend ( doesn't mean you'll do anything about it, though, well, depends on who you are ) The human brain doesn't give a rat's ass about boundaries, so feeling some type of attraction to a professor is not uncommon for the typical college student looking for some action.  Anyways, what should we do as teachers if we encounter one situation like this with a student who clearly likes us? Well, the answer is obvious. Never respond to any of your student's flirtatious attitudes towards you, no matter how tempting. It can go r

I wish I had taken advantage of this platform and interacted and posted all my previous entries throughout the semester. It pains me that nobody else but the teacher will read them or comment on them and this may be a lesson for me to realize how many things I take for granted.... Now, In retrospective, if I worked on this blog as I was supposed to, I would've had interesting interactions with my peers, and maybe even got to know other people from their opinions on my own entries! Fortunately, I still have more than an hour to comment on many blog entries from my peers as possible. Time to comment away!

But sometimes I really feel like that, sometimes in class I feel like im in a place full of androids, willing to receive anything they're told and willing to never think for themselves as they have given up on having a critical thinking process outside of the comfort of their own minds. It sucks feelin this way cause sometimes I feel like I'm the one being egocentric and stupid, or feeling special when in reality I know my classmates are all just like me, unique, interesting, critical, with STRONG views on an infinity of topics. But the problem is the fact that everyone wants to be a good samaritan and avoid saying stuff they really want to. And it sucks. Now people are looking down on those who think they're not like anyone else and usually these people think should be given Nobel prizes for their ever-so repeated and plagiarized points of view and boring advice that we hear off every single time and yes, I agree with those who hate this kind of individual. Get off

This blog entry is more like a little rant, about many, many experiences I've had with a pair of teachers. As I've mentioned in a previous entry, teachers always encourage participation, that's awesome. Thumbs up, speaking is important! Nevertheless, sometimes teachers forget that students can also teach them things. I remember many instances with professors from English in second and third semester and even  from the teacher of Morphology (only once with him, though) where I've said a word/saying/idiom/phrasal verb they didn't know existed, and they shut me down for it. They just shut me down and say I'm wrong, don't even bother to research. And when I bring up an example or the dictionary, my peers tell me to relax, and the teachers just shrug me off. It feels awful, it legit has been one of the worst feelings to be told I'm wrong on something that is actually true and that my students cannot even learn it too because the teachers just pass me of
