I swear Asians are crawling up my skin. That would be the majority of my 1st generation friends. I don't feel pressured by them, because I am just as smart, but God, can they hear themselves? "OMG, I have piano lessons after school, I'm almost at the 10th level. I'm definitely gonna take AP classes, they look good on my resume. I have a 94 in math? WHYYY?!" Bloody hell, if they don't shut up about it I swear I will shoot myself. They need to get some things straight here: as some people say "life's a bitch". And they think that they're gonna do this and that, and not have too many problems. Or they think that staying up the latest, having the hardest class, and getting the best grades will give them what they want. But that could just be my "American cultural acceptability" rearing its ugly head. I'm not saying its terrible to have this sort of priority, or follow the dreary monotony of the cliche. They can't seem to see what's blatantly in front of their faces. They probably struggle with it themselves. You see, the only reason I'm still alive is because I don't want to meddle with death and metaphysics, and because I have some semblance of fun and passion in my life, not just academics. If the former was obsolete, my family would probably be gathered around my coffin right now.

No responses to Asians?! (btw, I'm asian) - why don't you create one now?
