11 Things You Should Not Say to Asian People

11. “Hey I’m really into Asian guys/girls”: Please don’t let that be your opening line! It’s cool that you have an open mind but it doesn’t make us like you more. Sometimes it’s actually creepy :O 10. “Hey your English is really good!”: Yeeeeeah thanks, I’ve lived here my entire life. Obviously not the case for everyone, but it can really bother some people to hear this. 9. “Do you know _____?”: Yes, because every Asian person knows each other…actually, this is sort of true, but if the only connection you’re making between 2 Asians is the fact that they’re…Asian, ugh. 8. “Can you say ___ in your language?”: For some people they’re more than willing, but catch them on a bad day and you’ll get a look and a huff of annoyance. 7. “Haha you’re so un-American!”: Especially for an Asian person who identifies as an American, it’s kinda

My Story of When I Wrote My Teacher A Letter Instead Of Taking My Final Essay Exam

I failed. For the first time in my nerdy, academically-driven life, I failed a class. I knew it was a hopeless situation even going into the final exam.  My first exam score was a 6/25 and that was after several hours of studying. I thought that I’d prepared well enough. Obviously, that was me being delusional. Her teaching style clashed horribly with my learning methods. Nothing I did worked to improve the situation. I studied for days and barely slept the night before the second exam, and I still failed spectacularly. The night before the third exam I sat at a computer desk in the library for almost seven hours. The only reason I went back to my dorm that night is because I started crying mid-review. I don’t mean the soft, sniffly crying. I’m talking about the sudden, overwhelming tide of emotion that reduces you to a sobbing wreck. I failed that

10 Thoughts When You’re Running Low on Your Meal Plan

Running low on your meal plan is possibly one of the worst things you can experience in college. You could easily just use your card or cash, but it’s not the same as just swiping your meal card and never having to use “real” money. 10. When did this happen?! One minute everything was totally okay and you had tons of money, and then it all just disappeared. It had to have been some form of magic or something because there’s no way you spent that much in such little time. 9. I can totally save this for the rest of the semester. You think that you can save up whatever you have left and make it last till the end of the semester. I hate to break it to you, but you’re in denial. 8. I need to stop eating so much. Don’t blame this problem on how much you love food because that’s not the problem here.

10 Signs You’re the Loud One on Your Floor

No matter where you live, there’s always at least one person that everyone considers “the loud one”. They’re the person who always seems to be making some kind of noise, whether it’s by talking loudly, blasting music, making a ton of noise in general, etc. There’s always one and if you can’t think of who it is – it’s probably you. 10. You rearrange your furniture quite often. Every single time you move anything – even just your bed – it makes noise. Sometimes you just have to move your bed a little, and that’s okay, but you shouldn’t be rearranging your furniture every week. 9. You throw your trash at the trash can (and miss it most of the time). We all like to think we have killer aim, but that’s not always the case. It’s always fun to practice your shooting skills, but every time you miss and hit the wall it just makes
