The ramblings of a college student

YAY! i love putting off homework!

I started this in Music Cultures this afternoon:
ok. a lot has happened in the last 24 hours.... way too much... and i hope i explain each sufficiently.
I'll start with the most recent/ disturbing... actually, no, usually it would be the most disturbing but in light of all event, it is not. Anyway, today in Crim. J we finished by starting a discussion on hate crimes. Which I, surprisingly, have an opinion on (yay i'm starting to create my own beliefs!). Ok so Roche decides to take a survey of the people who support hate crimes in some way... I'm saying to myself, "what kind of a Hitler-in-training is seriously going to raise their hand? Does Roche honestly think someone would knowingly support that shit?!?"
To my (more than) astonishment about half the class, including everyone in my row, raises their hand!!! What the hell?! This class is of like 300 kids and half of them are raising their hand! Seriously. It's no fucking wonder the is so much hatred, harm, war, incooperation, terrorism, injustice, or insert-your-own-appropriate-adjective-here in the world! How could you honestly support that shit?
You know, i honestly thought that the only real problem with the world was a failure to communicate and compromise. and that deep down everyone really just wanted world peace, but we're all too egotistical and self-centered to fully understand others' perspectives. I guess I'm just living in some kind of naive world that is but dreaming of an ideal one. How could you knowingly torture someone because you, yourself, are too close-minded and weak to put yourself in their shoes? We're talking about torturing someone because of their "race, ethnicity, relgion, physical/mental capacity, or sexual orientation"! How can one help that? How can race or physical capacity determine who somebody is or able to be?
It's disgusting.
Ya, so i hope we start our next discussion on that because I'll lay all their shit bare.

The second of my utterly disturbing stories involves one of my very good friends whom allowed the college lifestyle to affect them in a very powerful and negative way.
Let's just throw it out there: He or she knowingly had sex with somebody he or she has no idea who is, doesn't care about them, and knows that their fellow fornicater doesn't give a shit about him or her either. Oh, and the fellow fornicator was completely shit-faced drunk. Hmm....
I honestly have no idea where this is going to go from here. and as of right now I am pissed that he or she would treat themsselves that way. And in the event of this whole thing ending up badly (which is extremely likely), i hope that he or she doesn't come running to me with their sob-story, because my friend has no one to blaim but themself.
Truth of it is though is that I will be here anyway. and I will support he or she either way. because that's what i do. I honestly try to be there and support the people that I love the most.

So there you have it... kind of.
TTFN, Ta-ta for now!

hmm...

alright yo. i must be pretty frickin trendy because i now have a blog. how long have these been around?... goin' on like a decade... ya i'm on the up and up.

but seriously though i usually journal everyday so this should be pretty cool, i mean im on my lappy all the time anyway so why not start journalling online? seems pretty sweet.

anyway here's a little about me:

• i am a freshman at the university of south dakota and i'm happy to say that i like it here; more that i thought i would anyway.
• i'm double-majoring in criminal justic and international studies.

• i'm in intramural volleyball and model UN, so far, and i play ultimate frisbee and water polo as often as possible.
  
• outside of this place, i LOVE to play hockey.
• i have two best friends, hillarie and karina, and they're freaking awesome... i love those two.
• i have two little brothers, kyle and blake, and i love them more than anything. they're 13 and play hockey too. and under my discretion they stay away from the slutty girlies that are bred in middle schools. :P
• i'm not big on the relationship scene. and i am terrified of committment.
• but that's not to say i'm not up for a good time, because i always am.
• but that's also not to say that i'm a slut either, because i'm not.
• i absolutely love to dance... usually by myself but i can do the social scene too :)
• i love first mick.; we're a pretty big deal.
• i don't do my homework as often as i should.
• i find comfort in chaos.
• i watch Grey's Anatomy religiously.
• i love the smell of a gymnastics gym. i don't know why but it is the most home-esque smell in the world. chalk and sweat: it's like bread and butter.
• i get jealous too quickly.
• i think i'm a hindu-christian.... i'm kinda trying to sort out my beliefs. my damn world religions class keeps testing them... and I'M JUST NOT SURE right now
• but that's a good thing, i love my world religions class
• i really appreciate guitar players and
• i kinda like emo-boys
• i love to travel and learn about different cultures and new ideas
  
• my weakness is accents
  
• i use the word/ letter "i" way too much and
• i shouldn't think about myself so much.
  

that's all for now.
