Anonymous asked: Hey, sorry I don't have a tumblr account so I'm just anonymous, I just wanted you're opinion on mcgill as a university? How are your lessons (in psychology?), the difficulty, the vibe, the professors, the tuition, is there alot of opportunities to speak french? Thank you! I'm in hs and interested in mcgill for life sciences.

the rumour that
kim kardashian and jeremy lin are going to date is ridiculous.
not only is she 8 years older than him, he’s a harvard graduate and she didn’t even go to college. what the hell would they talk about?
when has she ever worked for anything she’s ever wanted?

be
pathetic with me.
for valentine’s day.
while everyone else tries to seem more joyful and less lonely, come be sub-par with me.
i won’t laugh or try to make you laugh, you do the same. while others are out creating new memories with candles and shit, let’s just sit here and share old ones.
be pathetic with me.
everyone that comes in my life expects me to be great, and for...
i wish there was a word
for what i’m trying to say
so i could say it.
between you and me,
i have a secret list of people whose lives i plan on ruining if i ever get rich and powerful
between you and me, there’s nothing i hate more than feeling inferior and incompetent
between you and me, i wish i was better at just laughing at my damn self
i’ve perfected the art of anger, i’m better than anybody i know at it. i can get mad within seconds at things that could also...
my pride
has always been the only thing that kept me from being the “bigger person”, or basically anything else that was socially encouraged.
my pride.
it’s always been there to make failure much harder to swallow, to make my stomach shrivel up and crumble inside me, and make me nauseous with despair.
it was the pebble in my shoe when it was my time to jump, it was the scornful parent...

the ten things i know to be true
i pee too much
my grandfather was a pilot in the korean war
the sand in the thar desert feels like powder
mcgill textbooks are overpriced
vancouver has the best sushi
everybody has a little bit of george costanza in them
seth macfarlane was supposed to be on one of the the 911 airplanes
most personality traits have a genetic predisposition
most people think they’re above average in...
there's something comforting
about knowing that life isn’t fair for anyone, not just me

come to think of it,
“you sooooooo deserve it, hater!”
sounds nothing like anything anybody ever says
adults seem to be
just really busy people without any time to fantasize
my mom always told me
to never start a fight.
but if i find myself in one, i should be the last one to punch, even if i’m in tears
dear mr.boljuncic
im happy to know that the more i study psychology, the more i feel justified for hating your bimbo psyc class and thinking you’re an absolute idiot.

obama singing al green or fist pumping the janitor seem to be swaying the minds of many voters that don’t really care about politics.

i wish i could just be alone
forever
without family and friends
on a side note, i don’t think i’m pretentious. to be blunt, i think i’m as unpretentious as i can be, as humans go. i don’t pretend to be anything i’m not. and whatever i write here is whatever i think; i dont write anything in anticipation that someone in particular will read it.
if you think my blog sucks, im sorry. please...
i need to get better
at laughing at myself
i don't like to answer
anonymous questions.
i already posted an entry about this but i’ll do it again.
there are three reasons why you shouldn’t ask me anonymous questions:
1) i may be less inclined to answer it because i can’t answer those questions without publishing them and i don’t like having random things on my blog
2) i can’t take you or your question seriously
3) there is no...
everything seems to be settling back
to normal;
my room smells like incense, i hear tires rolling through sludgy snow, and i have a pile of work to do.
you can be the turtle
and i’ll be the hedgehog
because you’re slow but patient and I scurry with quills. because you’re surrounded by friends and family and i’m alone.
your life will be long and fulfilling, mine is more fitted to be short
because you have somewhere to go to withdraw from conflict, and i don’t
because you’re good to eat and I’m only a spiky rat.

john donne once said that no man is an island
but i disagree.
i think every man is an island. i think every person lives on their own island constructed of their own perceptions and experiences and reality. i think they often assume everyone else to be living on their little island with them but they’re essentially as alone as one could be.
i think what the poet meant by that was that no man is an isolated entity and they are forever...
let's all forget that i'm twenty
and pretend i’m still a teenager shall we?
i wanted to write a letter to myself when i’m 30 but i don’t know how to make sure i get it in ten years. i might have a different email or live in a different house. hm.
i never liked having my birthday since i moved to canada and stopped having birthday parties. hm.
i just can’t believe i’m in my twenties now…
people often ask what god is
but shouldn’t they first ask if there even is a god?
i know there is life. so i can ask “what if life” and that is a perfectly good question.
unless you give your exact definition of your own notion of “god”, you can’t go ahead and ask “what is god” because it means different things to different people.
i went to church for the first time in half...

Anonymous asked: i know you don't want to answer any questions, but can you work into a post some of your favorite movies? it's the holidays and seeing as i have no social life, can you recommend something?
there is the old saying that goes
“to assume is to make an ASS out of U and ME” haha get it.
actually to assume is to employ an evolutionary survival skill the human race has developed in order to, well, live long enough to reproduce.
we assume because we’re wired to. if we stop “assuming” certain things and stop using stereotypes and other schemas, the world will halt and everything will slow down...

maybe i'm not religious
because i know god wouldn’t like me
maybe i don’t want to believe there is a god, because i know that my prayers will be last on his priority list. why would any higher being want to listen to a prayer of an upper middle class twenty year old girl that’s already well on her way of becoming the top 30% of north americans with a college degree? her family is supportive, she is...
the hunchback of notre dame
teaches you that people only like heroes.
that they like you only when everyone else cheers for you to be the king of fool’s festival, and that they will jeer when the others start throwing the tomatoes.
they will back away from you when your clothes are ripped and stained from abuse, but after you save the day and is dragged out by a beautiful, charming woman, the whole town will embrace...
i've really gotten smarter
haven’t i
can’t decide whether my past self would be proud or frustrated
so what do i do
when i’m in a fight that i know i will regret later, but too angry in the moment to apologize?
every time i get a chance i tell myself it’s petty and that it should be dealt with by now, and then i read over the conversation and end up infuriated again
so what do i do
when i’m in a fight and i’m supposed to hop on a plane in three hours towards the person i’m angry...
i hate that
im stupid. i really wish there was more to me than this.
i got to a point where i was like: eh what is one exam, what is one course, really in the scheme of life.
right. what is one exam, or one course, or whatnot. even if i failed, and failed other things, and don’t do as “well” in life as others, i will adapt and still find happiness relative to my situation, as human beings...
Anonymous asked: Thanks for your reply about COMS210, but again I respectfully disagree. I'm an Anthropology major and this is actually the first time I understand the things like the process of signification, to name but one, which were previously so unclear to me. I don't know if this is your first year here (I'm U3), but trust me on this one, you'll be craving actual class discussion and...
Anonymous asked: I'm actually in Prof. Bejerman's class and felt compelled to express how much I disagree with you and your assessment of her class, seeing how we both agree that she's a very kind and generous person. I personally loved her style, and feel like I've learned so much. Anyways, just my thoughts. Question: how could you not like the assignment? It ended up being the best piece...
i've decided
to enable questions for every post, in case anyone would like to give their own input.

i'm surprised everyday
by the strength of self-serving delusion in human nature. it seems like without the persisting urge to comfort our mental identities, we’ll perish.
despite all the terrible things that happen, small or little, people find happiness based on relativity.
i feel like everything i write could be written better. i can try to sound as articulate and educated as i want to, but in the end the...
actually,
i know how to play minesweeper. sorry tumblr. but i’m really good at it.
