''I'm not like everyone else''

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 your high horse and stop pretending you're some kind of god or sacred figure who came from heaven to bless everyone in this god-damned earth.

No, you're not, you're just like everyone else and you need to realize that everyone has feelings and emotions like you do.

I wish my classmates were a little more assertive, though...it'd make things a little less monotone everyday.

The following drawing describes my feelings on everyone who feels like they're some kind of unique celebrity just because they have a different style than usual...

    Wow! This one was so intense. I liked a lot this entry, Julio and I totally agree with you. The android's part gave me chills because I've felt something similar towards this "conformity" attitude that seems to characterize our classroom (even in the worsts moments). But, don't think too much about it. Just keep proving to those who feel "superior" how wrong they are by improving yourself.

Lookism.

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...

The impact of exercise while in quarantine.

Exercise releases different chemicals from your brain, and it always helps relieve stress when needed, in my experience, it always helps so much now that a lot of us are stuck at home, and sometimes feel extremely tense, unmotivated and even depressed. Unfortunately, time passes by so quickly when there's no habit of schedule, that I tend to miss days where I don't exercise and then regret it. Matter of fact is, working out at 12 am or 1 am is not the best idea, but I do it when time slips off of my hands and I realize it's way too late and I hadn't worked out. I feel like my body is out of wack, and it's the weirdest experience. I miss having my walks to college everyday, even though they were a long trip, seeing people on the train and the bus was always fun, albeit scary sometimes, as there's always a possibility of being mugged or something. Push-ups are definately my go-to exercise whenever I feel extremely tense, and squats are also a good replacement ...

Assignment #4

My choice for this type of drawing for the ranking of these 6 very important concepts about the learning process of a ESL learner was inspired from the fact that I find very colorful and different-looking graphics and images more appealing and memorable to me than plain maps with dull or simplistic choices of color palettes. I decided to draw a fridge to represent each level of these concepts, the colors and how bright it is made my eyes go straight to it everytime I saw it lurking in my backpack while organizing my stuff in the weekend, I even remembered each of the concept as I took a look at the paper for a last time on Sunday. It's important to let students decide in what ways they can learn stuff with the help of their notebooks, letting their creativity flow which will improve their memory skills, we should not simply motivate them into making organized, clean notes, but also eye-catching, creative graphs or drawings that can help them make their learning a lot more me...
