Empty - The Click Five

I'm 22 this year and damn i feel old. Especially old when all my other classmates for summer school's about 19 or 20. Speaking of summer school, I'm once again reminded about the huge gap between a developing nation and one that's developed.

First, the college I'm in is mightily small! It's even smaller than my highschool la omg. Frankly speaking, many amenities here are basic and leave much to be desired. Or maybe I'm just too pampered. Well,sue me if demanding for the latest books and also for lecturers who don't spoon feed is too much.

Second of all, the parking here is horrible. Imagine having to get out at least 45 minutes before class starts even though you live like 2 streets down away from the college.

Third, it's abit weird looking at those going to college and in their teens simply because after this point in their lives, everything's gonna change big time. and also, i've noticed that most of the teenagers stick to their cliques like damn rapat2 la. Also, most of them guys seem to have this general expression and impression resembling a composite of air-headedness, arrogance, unfriendliness and for some, downright stupidity. Imagine this dude acting macho and walking down the hallway with his sunglasses on, black shirt, light-brown khakis and mismatching sportshoes with his fly down. you can only scream WTF in your head so many times before another one just like him but with weirder fashion sense comes along. Shit, makes me think how big of a wanker i must have looked like last time.

Fourth, I'm learning that respect is a given thing. Amidst the jokes and friendly banter, one only finds out how much respect there is between two people when things of a certain sensitivity are involved. i guess you can be wrong for the many little things as long as you are right for the few big things. unfortunately, sometimes it's hard to to know what's important and what's not. it's harder still to give a damn about it. Tell something important to someone you know who always seem to be only up for jokes and laughter and you'll understand.
