The last time I was here, I was in high school. I didn't know what the real purpose of having one of these was. I was just doing what everyone else did. Once I got into college, however, something changed. I didn't want to be known as the loser who wrote emo crap in her livejournal pretending that was my life. I'm not really sure what my life is now.

I turned 19 this past Saturday. I'm a student at SUNY Old Westbury. By the way, they need to find an easier way for me to say that. My ignorant relatives always think I'm telling then "Stony Old Westbury", but it's not their fault because what tool made up SUNY in the first place?? New York is the only state I've heard of that has grouped all of their public, continuing education institutions using the same assinine naming. But I digress. Especially since I really like this school. At least a whole hell of a lot more than my previous school, Hofstra. If I had a quarter for everytime I held a door for some Jewish bitch (one who must think I'm her maid because she wasn't even courteous enough to send a sneer my way let alone a "thanks"), I would have enough money to build my own college. I remember telling a professor about how I got into Ivy League schools, but I decided on Hofstra due to its proximity to my home. I'm beginning to think the Ivy League school was the way to go. How foolish ... if only my parents had more of a role in my college decision, I wouldn't have known there were schools (such as Hofstra) where people must think they get grades based on their ability to hold their liquor. And now I'm at SUNY Old Westbury where every other student in all of my classes is black, and I'm considered smart in most of my classes because I decide to actually ... get this ... DO WORK.

You know, in high school I was never amazed when students refused to hand in assignments on time, or slept in class. High school is a requirement and there just so happen to be a good many people in high school who don't want to be there. However, with the high tuition costs of colleges today, I assumed that every student in college wants to be there. Oh, Alicia, you foolish woman you. Not even my boyfriend wants to be in college. He feels he has to go before he is cast out of his family. I on the other hand find it a great joy to be in college, and am utterly astonished when I find people who don't want to be there. WHO IS FORCING YOU TO BE HERE!? I doubt there is anyone who can make me understand that concept. Your education is no longer free ... why are you wasting it falling asleep in class, being tardy or just absent, and missing assignments. There is only room here to be blunt - you freaking IDIOTS! You could be out in the workforce (A.K.A. I see fast food joints in your future) and not wasting my valuable class time! Did it ever occur to you that there are people here who want to learn, and you are wasting their time??! NO! Because you're a stupid, self-centered putz probably thinking you're getting back at your parents for sending you to college. And maybe if you act up enough, they'll take you out and you can sell your body on a corner in Brooklyn.
