Not to be all sentimental,
but I’m really starting to feel the senior-ness of being a senior. Its been in the back of my mind for a while now, but during my 21st birthday celebration with my girls this weekend, I realized that we are going different places in life. That is hard pill to swallow. Like, I can’t just see them when I want to or see them in passing on campus. We will all be in different states, living our respective lives and I can’t really handle that.
I’ve never had a ride or die group of female friends until college and I mean it when I say I would do any and everything for them. I would seriously hurt somebody over Alicia, Ali and Kath. It is really on some ‘try-me-and-watch-what-the-fuck-I-do’ type shit. I kind of just can’t deal with it right now. I had such a good time on Friday; like I can say, all my memories with them top my Drake Shirt Story (AND IT’S A GOOD FUCKING STORY). Mostly all of my college memories include them.
Honestly, I can only wish someone the chance to have a friendship, like the one I have with them
I understand your silence, but don’t expect me to be there when you’re all silenced out and try to resurface.
“Most Africans arrive in the United States ignorant of this country’s racism. We arrive here ignorant of the horrors of slavery, the terror of Jim Crow, the history of the civil rights movement and the present state of post-racist racism. Lacking analysis of how African Americans have borne most of the brunt of this racism, we buy into stereotypes depicting African Americans as lazy, deviant, and criminal. For their part, most African Americans have little to go on besides the racist depiction of Africa(ns) prevalent in the American education system and in the media. So African Americans end up thinking Africans are a bunch of emaciated petty-tribalists and rapist-polygamists. ….Brother, we haven’t met in over 400 years and this is how you want our reunion to be?”

Happy 21st Birthday to BRY | RATCHETober
My biggest goal for today, was to do 21 shots for my 21st Birthday. Now, this isn’t meant to be done in one sitting, thats how people fuck up and die. I figured there are 24 hours in day, 21 shots in a day it totally possible. My best friend Christian, who doesn’t drink thinks this is the dumbest idea, I’ve ever had and thinks its very irresponsible of me.
alright?…
ANYWAY, By 12:09 am, I already down 3 shots, STRAIGHT. Nah mean? I don’t chase shots, my heart don’t pump no Kool-Aid (New Jersey Drive reference). Then, I proceed to be drunk in my campus’s library. RATCHETober is in full effect.
I have to be at work by 10. I plan to have at least 4 more shots done by then. This is probably really not a good idea on my part, but FUCK IT.
my 21st Birthday is in less than 24 hours
I CANNOT even… GAH
This past week
has been too racial charged for me. This past week, was especially weird.
First, I had to verbally strong arm this Pakistani kid for asking me “Do you want some fried chicken with your BET?”
I grabbed all my stuff to walk away, but not before saying “I’m sorry Aladdin, chill out.”
THEN, two days later, witnessed a really close Asian friend of mine, call a mutual friend of ours a “Blackie”. I walked away crying after that, but before asking “Are you out of your fucking mind?”
NOW, I see the Irrational Black Women/Men meme
My heart really hurts. Does any other ethnic group do this type of thing to one another? Then to have it all over the internet for everyone to see… Why?
