Hypocritical Much?

Isn't it crazy how big of hypocrites we are?

I mean seriously, we talk about loving everyone at whatever point they're at. But a lot of the times all we do is hate others without knowing them at all. We just sit and judge others without knowing a single thing about them.

I know I do this everyday. I'm a jerk, I'll admit it. There are some people I just cannot stand, so I just won't love them. I'll pretty much say "Screw it. They're too [insert adjective here] and I can't deal with it."  But I'm trying my hardest to stop because I'm just as difficult to deal with as the people I dislike, and I still have friends who stick by me, I should be like them.

My issue is. . . I have friends who constantly put me down for the friends I have and where I hang out at while at school. I get that it might be a joke to them. But after an entire quarter, it's not really a joke to me anymore. It's pretty hurtful to know that my choice in friends is disapproved by my other friends.

I considered just dumping these friends because of someone's opinion of them. Because they think we're weird. [Yup I said we, because I am a part of that group.] But guess what? I'm not going to. 
Weird is cool. We're all diverse. We're fun. We're all there for each other.

And about that last sentence. It is so true! I saw evidence of it just today. I came to school after a horrible night, obviously looked upset, and everyone cared and took time to give me hugs and to make sure I'm okay. That's friendship right there.

Well I'm Cool

My last post was in September. . . 
It is now December.
Obviously school has taken over my life.

Here's an update on my life in the upcoming few weeks:
  • I have my final English 102 paper due in almost exactly 12 hours
    • Only 8 out of the required 10-12 pages are finished
  • I have to type up an "about me" page in the next 8 hours to give to a couple of my professors so they can write me letters of recommendation for the schools I'm applying to
  • I have a major research project due in 36 hours
  • I have a big[ish] test in two days, and then a final in the same class on Monday
  • I need to pretend like I know how to take pictures by Monday
  • I need to apply to my top pick school in the next 14 days
    • Which means I need to actually write that essay I've been putting off for three months
  • I need decide on backup schools so I don't look like some reject after I graduate in the Spring
  • I need to apply to said backup schools ASAP 
  • And finally: I need a social life outside of the social things are kind of necessary 
And now I've decided to stop procrastinating on life. [[Paper Time!]]
