Brooks? ...

I never thought I’d even consider it, but I might go to Brooks next year. For me there’s always been a stigma attached to the university. It seems to be a pretender to Oxfords unattainable crown. In saying that, it’s a top 30 university and is seeking to improve. I am going to apply purely to University of London colleges like Queen Mary, UCL, and Goldsmiths. I f I don’t get in I will go to Brooks.

I have just realised that Oxford isn’t that bad a place. I know it sounds childish, but if I move too far afield I’ll get seriously home sick. I love this place. Sometimes I just take it for granted. Brooks to me seems like a half decent compromise.

College Life 7 Weeks In...

I am finding my stay here at Ruskin more and more peculiar. New relationships are being forged and social groups are being fortified. It always happens in a close nit community. It’s just weird because it feels like school. At times it’s quite surreal. I guess I just have to get used to it. Overall these past few weeks at Ruskin have been pretty good. The only thing I have a problem with, is the passive aggressive –nature social groups. I’ve always hated how people in a close community naturally migrate to a certain group of people. I am no exception, which is quite hypocritical, but who isn’t to be honest. Everyone is a walking oxymoron to an extent. To say other-wise is to be in denial. Now I am self righteous which in my opinion is my most attractive personality trait. I just hate being part of a social system I have no control over. The control issue is another story all together haha.

Facebook

I am getting pissed off at facebook. The social status thing is really quite fucked up when you think about it. I was watching random videos on Youtube and I came across this hilarious video that just sheds light on the absurdity of face book. It’s an absolute fucking classic.
