Coldplay | Us Against The World

Through chaos as it swirls
it’s us against the world

When i’m alone like this on campus, it puts things into perspective.
Theres not a soul that really knows what it feels like when you’re entire family is on the other side of the world. I can’t just pack some weekend belongings and take off to Japan and come right back.

It sucks when people leave for the weekend, yeah your house is like 20 minutes away, i get it. Well if i think about this positively, this is a benefit for me as a person. I’m able to take care of myself without having to depend on my parents. I don’t get those hugs every time i feel lonely or guidance when i feel lost. We’re college students guys.
It’s time to grow the f up.

It’s the fact that i’m able to make decisions for myself without having to worry about what time i have to be back by or to see if i do this, if i can do that.

College is about growing up, becoming mature, driving your own learning wheel to figure out what the hell you’re gonna do with your life.

It’s great everyone gets to visit home, i’d do that too if that was possible. But when those visits are everyones routines, the reliances, and becomes the “only way to get by”, i’m just gonna say good luck.

These are the moments i think this school wasn’t right for me. It’s a school where half the kids commute and half the kids live (sort of) nearby. It’s a school where spirit barely rings a bell and international life is pretty much non existant. I doubt anyone here knows what the term, third culture kid means.
This school isn’t diverse because most people follow around their own race, or are only with their own “kind”. After growing up in an international school, i have expectations and its hard when most kids here are local. They think it’s weird that i didn’t grow up here, that i have another entire world behind me that involves broad cultures, different countries and my family. people don’t get it.

I’m thinking of starting a blog. A blog that puts together these big changes, the changes in perspectives i’ve had recently
