Textbooks are gonna be the death of me

           As many of you should know, textbooks are literally satan's creation. They are super expensive and for most of the time, not needed. Lucky for me, I get my shit for cheap online. For many I salute my fallen brothers and sisters.
           Gratefully enough, I only need two books for less than 50. This was all due to one of my teachers not wanting to join the whole textbook bullshit as he phrased it. I bow down to his courage and how others will follow his lead. If I remember right, a university decided to go textbook free, but the name escapes me.
           So kiddos, rent that shit online and not from the school bookstore, those assholes make you pay more. But before you buy shit, make sure to check online for free online versions of it, be it the edition you need or one edition back. Consult with your teach about this, most of them are very open about this. Piratebay and Kickass are your friends, use that shit. Be it illegal or not, we college kids are desperate to survive.

Sex and funky town pt.1

       Now kiddos, let's talk about sex. Now, I'm pan or bi or whatever, in the end I don't really care for the sex, gender, or race of the person I'm dating.  Now sex is another thing, for normal people it wouldn't be a problem. Am I ready? Am I ready to be open with this person? In the end, its not very complicated for the norm. Yet some of us are sadly or proudly very complicated. I am one of the complicated ones, sadly enough. Not really by choice but that's a story for another time.
       Let's cut this short, sex has always been a complicated mental thing for me, even mindless sex. A monstrous shadow that reared it head for too long in my life, I very successfully hid in jokes and endless knowledge of sex. I knew about others like this but not personally, which would have been nice to have a comrade in arms. This has brought me aware of things many fight for awareness in the current population.
       Consent, and power. Yes and no, who holds the power and the balance in control in the relationship.
       Younglings, think about it. Equal in power in the relationship, sexual or not. If you are not ready, you're not and wait. If your partner is not okay with that, explain and it they don't understand. Dump the dick. Fuck when you're in high school, fuck when you're in college, fuck when you're a grown adult. Do this in caution to yourself and others around you, power and consent is something to be aware of.

FUCK YEAH LIGHTS

                Thank the fucking lord the light finally came on, sadly enough my other roomie may be leaving us soon so there goes my only source of alcohol. But whatever, I've survived with water and I'm all good. And another thing, a day in and my mother is already asking me if I've banged anyone. I'm not saying no to going to bang town but I don't think I have anyone to want to go to bang town with.

Job search

           My current job is not that hard but the hours are horrible for a full time student. So, I went job hunting recently and went to a interview today. I'm sickeningly happy but hopeful of getting the job. The hours are stable and the pay is minimum but whatever, I'll be picking up some extra hours working at the school.
           This new development has made me very hopeful, yet at the same time weary of anything going wrong and exploding in my face.

           Change of subject. I've recently told my friend Efeh about this blog I've created, she in turn feels happy for me but expectant of what to read about herself. So here a little something about her.
           Her and I are high school friends, both art student who didn't have the motivation to pursue an art career. So in great coincidence, we both decided to attend SUNY Albany. She was very chill person but very anal about me cleaning dishes and keeping the bathroom clean. Efeh gets very annoyed at my jokes and puns that all revolve around sex and internet jokes. Her work stories are funny yet at times she sucks at telling stories. She's a feisty bitch who sometimes goes quiet and distant when she's angry. An angry Efeh is a scary Efeh, which I would suggest not pissing her off. Its kinda like mom angry kinda level, makes you kinda scary and guilty of whatever you did. She gets easily scared which is fucking awesome for me because it doesn't take much, and hates the dark. Which is even greater bonus for me.

I'm back after long ass work shifts

           I got to admit, living in Albany has its ups and downs. Public transportation is free for students and many businesses here have student discounts that help in saving money. Rent is so much cheaper here than in the city, which, is a big lifesaver. However, being the born and raised Queens kid, it was hard to adjust to the closed hours of operations of many businesses here as well as the buses.
           I can no longer go on midnight runs for Chinese or pizza unless it was from Papa Johns or Domino's, and I had to keep track of the first and last running buses for the weekday and weekend. If I didn't, then I would be stuck somewhere and waste sleeping time walking home.
           Yet at the same time, living up here has given me a taste of what small city living is, and this has given me a dilemma of whether or not to live up here instead of the city.
           All in all, fuck this hard thinking and just enjoy what is happening at hand.

Health of the typical college fellow

        Ok kiddos, learning time. Although grades are the very first priority in the college life, there is one thing that can destroy that, your mental health. Now, you don't have to go to every class, now saying don't go but have a day to rest. Sleep late, eat really healthy shit or ramen all day. Charge up and relax before going back to the hectic speed of college.
        You'll burn out and crash, trust me, shit went down when I ignored that shit. Things get hard? Go to the fucking counseling center, talk to a friend or a professor you're close with. Treat yourself, you're not a machine.

Another thing to remember kids

       When wiring money, pay attention to the time it takes for the money to actually transfer. I didn't pay heed and now I have my landlord breathing done my neck for the rent. Sorry, you just have to wait a bit to see your money.
       Write that shit down in a calendar or your phone, remember to pay a few days in advance so the money gets to its destination on time or earlier. Remember, although things are electronic and shit can be sent with just a click. The whole world is not up to that point of express communications.
