Drunk

I'm the type the girl that turns the music up loud and jumps around even though I can't dance. I'll sing along even though I'm tone deaf. I know how to have fun in my own little way. I don't need to down a few to be happy. You think I'm crazy, but that's not fair. I have my own way of fighting the monsters inside of me. Hey Mr. I've-got-it-all-figured-out! Oh you have all the problems in the world and the only way to drown it out is to get drunk? Cool, have fun. But don't you dare say that I'm not enjoying my life! I'm fine with what I've got so stop judging me.

On second thought. Let's get drunk together. You on your chemical poison and me on the lies I tell myself everyday. It's all going to be okay, I'm going to be okay.

 We'll sing along to every dumb song that plays. If you get up and ask me to dance, I'd say nah, I don't dance. But you better pull me onto my feet and force me to jump around like a fool. Why don't people know when to force me and when to not. Do you have what it takes to make me forget my two left feet?

I don't know what it feels like to smoke weed. But I've heard it's like another dimension. One puff, two puff, eleventy-seven. A'ight.
Whether it's getting high or drunk they always say it's the way they find the meaning of life. But what exactly is life? I don't want the easy way out mah man. Google says it's some crap about animals, plants and death. They say it's about getting drunk. I say y'all are stupid.

Life is what you make it. Whether it's the drug or the cure. I don't  give a shit about your dope. No matter what, you're going to mess it up but the good part is you get to choose how to mess it up. Live however you want to.

As far as I can tell, you don't need to drink to get drunk. You need to live to be young.

Someone.

I want someone to turn the music up and sing stupid songs with me. Someone that doesn't mind hearing my crappy voice and taking interest in the stupidest little tidbits of my life. I'm not normal but who is? Show me one absolutely perfect person?! You can't. Driving home in the rain, eating ice cream and planning out the future even though we know nothing about it.  A bunch of girly poses and poorly-timed photographs. Someone to hug me and make me feel all warm inside 'cause we all need reassurance. Nothing feels right. I can't help feeling like everything is about to go terribly wrong.  Somebody, anybody. Please. I need you person, wherever you are. I need a friend. I need you. I really do.

Blog Analyzer

So I found this website that analyzes blogs and what type of individual you are according to it. Here's what I got!


The author ofhttp://absolutelyaverageteenager.blogspot.com/ is of the type ESFP.

The entertaining and friendly type. They are especially attuned to pleasure and beauty and like to fill their surroundings with soft beautiful textiles, bright colors and sweet smells. They live in the present moment and don´t like to plan ahead - they are always in risk of exhausting themselves. ESFPs love being around people and having new experiences. Living in the here-and-now, they often do not think about long term effects or the consequences of their actions. 

ESFPs live in the moment, experiencing life to the fullest. They enjoy people, as well as material comforts. Rarely allowing conventions to interfere with their lives, they find creative ways to meet human needs. Active types, they find pleasure in new experiences. 

The enjoy work that makes them able to help other people in a concrete and visible way. They tend to avoid conflicts and rarely initiate confrontation - qualities that can make it hard for them in management positions. ESFPs are excellent team players, focused on completing the task at hand with maximum fun and minimum discord.

Zlattan

Today is a special day! It's my best friend's birthday; Safdar. He's the most amazing person I've ever met and the only one whom I trust completely. He's as fair as snow white and damn tall. I met this idiot exactly four years ago. Back then I saw him as a weirdo who'd always be speaking gibberish and mumbling something in Hindi. I could never make out what he was saying and it took forever to make sense of it. Our conversations usually involved someone explaining something and then at the end the receiver laughs and says, "I have no clue what you just said". After all this time I've learned to speak the "Safdar" language.
I'm physically incapable of typing any more because I'm so damn sleepy so you'll have to pardon me.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZLATTAN! Have an amazing day and give me a party later. Love you bestie. :)
Hope you like the gift.

Indian Palm Squirrel

Today I went to went to the temple with my Mom. She was inside giving the prasadam to the priest while I was waiting outside. I had a few minutes to myself without much to think about. I sat on my two-wheeler and took to my surroundings. The leaves atop the trees brushed against each other creating a sweet cacophony. A beggar was basking in the sun, lost in the land of slumber just a few meters away. If she'd been awake she would have been clamoring around the expanse for spare change. Four podgy palm squirrels ran up the tree trunks with their furry little tails bobbing about. Did you know that Indian palm squirrels only have three stripes running down their back? These little creatures steer clear of people but for some reason became very fond of my scooter. I promised them a couple of nuts for the next time I found myself there.
A bright sunny day but a cool enough breeze to give you goosebumps, those are my favorite kind of days. Why is it so hard to find like-minded people? Why are some people so arduous? Why can't I freeze time where it stands and spend forever sitting upon my scooter listening to ceaseless chanting of the lord's prayer?I'd love to, I would. But I've got to be heading home now.

Strangers

Okay so a while back I was at Comic Con. It was absolutely AH-mazing and I got to go with one of my best friends. We bought a bunch of comics and a couple of t-shirts. So I was feeling pretty hyperactive that day and I actually printed a couple of little note-like things that read,
                                                                         
                                    "Hey Stranger!

     You have a nice smile! 

                Have a great day! :)"


I'm not usually one to do impulsive things. .... Ok I lied. I always do incredibly impulsive things. So there was this guy in a black t-shirt standing in front of us. We were getting pictures with a giant cartoon character and he was trying to take a picture with him. He was about 5 foot 10, I think. Usually, I find good-looking guys have an attitude to match but there was something about the way he smiled. Just so innocent and kind. He was smiling at his phone and then he suddenly looked up and he was still smiling and I was standing there. I smiled back and just went on to get pictures too. I don't think I'm one to get noticed in a crowd but for some reason he kept smiling. After my friend and I took pictures we were walking away. I had the note things in my hand and I was tossing the idea in my mind. Was this a good idea? I asked my friend and she said, 'Woah. You seriously want to do this? I think you should, it would be cool'.
So I started walking back trying to convince myself it was fine. He was facing away from me speaking with his friends.
I tapped him on the shoulder. He turns and there's that brilliant smile of his. I hand him the paper and smile. "Bye!" I end up running away and from behind me I hear "Wow. Thank you sooo much!" I could just tell from his expression, I'd made his day. I was really happy. By now his friends were dying to know what had just happened. This was my limit, I was kind of flabbergasted and my entire body was shaking. Did I just do that?! Okay, escape plan. This is too weird. As I ran for cover I turned to see him telling his friends what I gave him. 
After some time, my friend and I were getting pictures taken with another character. As I was taking a picture for my friend, I see that black tee guy is standing right behind her. For a second he thought I was taking a picture of him. "Shit. I thought she was taking a picture of me".
He had his phone in his hand. He was speaking to his friends, "I'm going to ask for her  number man". 
So what do I do? Run for the hills of course. Too much stranger interaction for one day. I was at my limit! 


No, I didn't end up seeing him again and I still don't know who he is. I know this might seem like I was crushing on a stranger BUT I was not. This boy was muuuch younger than me. 

P.S.- I wasn't hitting on him. I just wanted to make a stranger smile. :)

9 Tips To Surviving College

Note: Some of the things I say may only be applicable to where I live or maybe just maybe my college. This is just my perspective.

1. Don't be afraid at the first day of college.


Most of the people you'll be meeting are in the same boat as you so there's not much to worry about. They probably feel exactly like you do. 
Out here our seniors tend to "rag" us. This is basically like bullying all the freshmen. It sounds pretty messed up to hear but it's not actually that bad. They give us a bunch of 'tasks' to do to entertain them; nothing insane. In my case, I've had a lot of fun being ragged. I've made plenty of friends and found out that my seniors are pretty cool and some are nicer than the freshmen. So if stuff like that happens to you just try to take it sportively. Unless they go too far that is. 

2.Be Confident

This is your chance to start new. Forget about what happened in high school! Now you can make your mark. Whether it's to stick to the books or stand out in a crowd or both! Go out your way to join your favorite club and hang out with the popular crowd for a while. Maybe the quiet ones? Does it really matter? This is college! Show just awesome you are. :)

3. Make Friends

This is kind of obvious but whoever you're placed with in your course will be there for the next 3 to 4 years and truth be told when you're cramming for exams or completely lost in an assignment, their help will be much appreciated and maybe it wouldn't be so bad to have someone to eat lunch with occasionally. Making friends on campus boosts your self-esteem. If you meet someone you don't see yourself getting along with then forget it. But maintaining good relations with people will be beneficial later on. 

4. Be studious
Knowledge is power, we all know that phrase and it's the truth. You'll go a long way by knowing things. Once you get your education in line you can focus on literally anything else you want to do in the time you'll be spending in college. Take my instance, I'll be studying Information Technology and right now sticking my head in the books seems like the best plan.

5.  Be nice to your Professors, Be attentive and Dress appropriately

 Be sure to make a good first impression on the professors because no matter how many times they say they don't have favorites, it's still a lie. Don't be a kiss-ass but just try not to get in trouble. Listen to the classes and try to answer them when they ask questions. Teachers hate the phrase "I don't know". Just don't say it.  Make an educated guess if you have no idea what they're saying. Also be attentive. They usually tell you the questions that are going to pop up in your next midterms. Try to dress appropriately. This is an institution where we learn, it's not a rave. Put on your super mini shorts after college.

6. Go to Class:

Ultimately, you're in college to learn and get your degree. Be regular to class and get good attendance. If your college is anything like mine, we have marks for attendance so I'm screwed if I don't go. Take good notes because it makes the process of remembering things easier. 
7. Skip a class at least once a semester:

This sounds stupid right after I said go to class but you need some way to balance it all out. I suggest to do this rarely because excessive absences are going to give you a hard time with the professors and the rents.
And if you do skip, make sure that one of your friends is in class to take notes for you. 

8. Restrooms

Find the block with the least yuckiest restrooms. This is pretty damn important! If you don't like waiting in line to the bathroom or you don't feel like puking once you get into a stall, try to find the nicest ones.

9. Money

There always be that one day that you feel like eating in the cafeteria for once instead of Mom's packed lunch. Or you feel like drinking coffee or eating ice cream. But that's not happening if you don't have any cash. Always keep some money in your bag for an emergency hogging session with your friends.
It'll also be handy to buy stationary.
