CIX. To That Person in College -

To that person in college who said that all families are “like that”; those who exchange arguments that foreshadow seemingly never-ending silent treatments.

You were wrong then and you’re wrong now.

To that person in college who said, “you’re still desi”, “just like us”.
“Us” meaning both parents are from the subcontinent.

You were wrong then and you’re wrong now.

To that person in college who said, you shouldn’t complain so much.

If I didn’t complain I would probably be sat down and asked, “what’s wrong?”

To that person in college who said, “I cannot believe you think this! You’re so traditional.”

Well, I believe that some things are just wrong: much like yourself.

To that person in college who said, you must have a 4.0.

You were wrong then and you’re wrong now.

To that person in college who said, “what’s wrong with those short-shorts?”, followed by “do it for the team.”

My answer is the same reply I would give to the first person I had mentioned in this post. Not all families make it seem more than acceptable for their daughters to wear skin-tight shorts that almost expose evolution’s vestige, the coccyx.

To that person who told me not to mention calories while she was sipping away on a fattening milkshake.

You may come off as the carefree person from the exotic/obscure country for now, but I’ll be laughing when science wreaks havoc upon your thighs.

To those persons in college who believe that I am such a serious person.

Well, perhaps you’re not quite wrong, but you’re wrong to assume that this is a bad thing.

It’s survival of the fittest, my friends. That’s what this is.

This post relieves me of my stress, because those mesh-like balls you find in Staple’s do not do squat.

Perhaps I should patent these posts and have them sold in place of the stress-reliever balls.

“That was easy”?

Oh Staple’s, you’re making me a dreamer.
