If I was to ever make a college

HI YALL! God it’s only been like what three weeks, and I feel like I’ve been here for like four months. Babson is going pretty well, it’s so easy to get distracted cause my dorm hall is full of effing insane people. Our college is full of fucking insane people and RICH. I’ve never seen so many rich people in one place before, besides at the Atlantic City casinos. They have maids here and they all drives Lexus, BMWs, and stuff. I want a minvan really bad. DONT CALL ME A SOCCER MOM. Here’s my theory: a minivan can fit like what 10 people. A regular car can fit like 4. I’m getting my money’s worth with a minivan. ALSO AUTOMATIC DOORS GUYS! Workload is alright (they just pile on the effing reading.) I have a teacher who teaches History and Sociology and she’s an effing extremist. She’s trying to convert everyone to become a vegetarians. Hi Sorry! You can’t do that to me. The day that there’s no more cows and pigs I’m going to die. College partying scene is different, all they do is drink and dance and grope and have sex. If I were to make up a college here’s what I would do:

1. GET RID OF THE EFFING GREEK LIFE. I can’t read the signs or shit you know Sigma, Kappa and crap. We’re in America. Please have an english name for your sorority or fratnerity. It annoys me because I can’t read the difference.
2. Partying should start at 6 and end at 10. Hello! Normal people sleep at 11.
3. There should be beds in the dining hall. After you eat, you sleep instead of walking ALL the way to the dorm to do it.
4. Asian shuttle buses to take us back to Chinatown
5. photoshop student’s id picture
6. everyone has to drive a mini van ’nuff said

I shall post pictures of our shitty food later

I like to eat ice, not break them

HOLA EVERYONE! So right now, it’s like 9:06 and I woke up insanely early to write this post, since I gave up reading “Three Cups of Tea”. Babson move-in day was better than I expected. I was pretty self conscious when I thought I had a lot shit. TRUST ME! There will always be someone else who has even more crap than you do. I saw this kid who had an expandable truck sort of, and he had even more stuff ON TOP of his car. So yeah not everyone packs “light”. And also get there early so you can claim the good side. MY ROOM IS SO EFFING SMALL!!! WTFSHIT, I call it the “dungeon”, since it’s sort of in an alleyway (pics to come later). Well being a see lai, I got there really early, and claimed the good side LOL. Hmm, so far its like day 3 of orientation, and I’m quite sick of it. All we do is break ice, GEEBUS LORD! Everyone here looks the same. I barely remember anyone’s name. We basically separated into orientation groups, and we played like really weird games, like what Lisa mentioned. (nothing beats boom shika boom boom boom). I have like 16 guys, all well most are those party white kids, who are athletic and like to make really manly jokes and are obnoxious and loud =). Then we had Playfair, which is I think what karen did too. We had to sit on people’s lap, and dance backwards. I was freaking out cause there was so much touching involved. God gross, but then I had a really cute partner for one of the activity. Then the rest of the days consists of more ice breaking.

THE FOOD HERE SUCKS. I’m going to come back having to piss a kidney stone out of my bladder. The food here is incredibly salty. And here I am on Serious Eats, and I’m dying of hunger.  NYC people can you snail mail me some real food. Please!! They have this vegetable fried rice yesterday, and it was like eating salty rice  but brown. And then the chicken teryikai which sort of reminded me like school lunch. The only upside is that there’s random ice cream trucks and hot dog trucks giving out free food. What can I say, everything that comes out of a truck taste better. Breakfast is okay… except they don’t serve bacon, well not yet. I need my bacon. ALSO WTF THEY DONT HAVE WHOLE MILK. So the only way I could eat Fruity Pebbles is by stealing whole milk from the coffee station. DARN YOU DILUTED MILK. The lines here are really long, because everyone eats at a scheduled time for the time being. I just hope there will be less lines later.

I need more Asian people.  Even though Babsonis “notorious” for having a lot of international students, they all stick together. All the ABCS stick together too, well sort of. But yeah. NYC people, also send me some yellow people. SPEAKING OF YELLOW. GOD I LOOK SO YELLOW ON MY ID CARD. LIKE A HIGHLIGHTER. I even told the guy who took the ID picture, “I know Asians are “yellow” BUT WTF IM NOT LIKE THAT IN REAL LIFE”. And this gets worse, so on Blackboard they have this function which is “Class Photos Roster” where it shows everyone in your class your ID picture. I will be known as the girl who is insanely yellow. Goodbye paleness.

Lisa and Wingkai basically summarized everything that happened on campus. Thanks for making my life so much easier guys =). But I’ll add more stuff on a personal perspective:

College IS a lot different than Tech once you stepped into the world. You know you have a group of friends back home, but yet you want to make friends during college. You can’t help but compare everyone you meet, to the people you truly know and get along well with. I’m definitely out of my comfort zone. I feel like I have to be this “fake” Penny Phoon, for first impressions. You’re going to have to make conversations by asking the various questions and expect to have these reactions:

“Where are you from?” OH COOL WOW or where the fuck is that

“Which dorm are you staying at?”OH WOW COOL I live there too, or bitch that’s where I wanted to live in, or shit you got the shittest dorm

“What clubs/sports are you planning  join?”OH WOW COOL thats what I wanted to join, oh shit an overachiever, oh shit what a loser

“What’s going to be your major?”OH WOW COOL ME TOO (crap I got competition), or shit he/she is going to make a lot of money (nts: befriend with the money maker)

Oh, btw don’t be surprised if people don’t shower. Not everyone is as “clean”. Some people only shower in the morning. And sharing a bathroom with 26 girls, isn’t that bad. If you want to poop, poop in the morning. It’s the best time when you get the entire bathroom to yourself =)

 

TOODLES. Man my post was a rant basically.
