Colin, 18, Gay, Pennsylvania. (Now that we've gotten that out of the way...)
If you like Will and Grace, Doctor Who, Sherlock, Disney, Harry Potter, Nerdfighteria and/or hot men, you should totally follow me. (That is not to say I'm a hot man. You can make that decision for yourself)
Being in college terrifies me.
Like.
I AM SEVENTEEN.
HOW SHOULD I KNOW WHAT I WANT TO DO WITH MY LIFE?
I CAN’T EVEN RUN THE DISHWASHER WITHOUT HELP.
LITERALLY MY ONE SUCCESS IS THIS BLOG.
Seriously shows like Myrtle Manor make me work harder at school.
I’m really afraid of doing something with my life.
But I’m also really afraid of not doing something with my life.
I think I was supposed to be born as a cat.
How do you nicely tell a professor “If you do not start grading stuff I turned in the first week of February I will literally come to your office and have a breakdown”
There are nights when I want to give up school all together, run away to a small town in the midwest (I haven’t yet decided which small town but god knows there has to be one left) where I work at a general store (the kind of small town general store where you can say things like ‘You’re a few dollars short? Pay me on monday.) and then somehow meet my significant other and we just stay in that small town for the rest of our lives and raise a kid or two making them watch british television and every year I’d make a point to read The Great Gatsby and nobody would bother me until I’m done and basically just be rid of all this fucking stress.
I’m really not sure how I’m going to make myself go to the class that I currently have a 106% in and no final.
I honestly could write “How to Succeed In College Without Really Trying”.
I could wake up in 8 hours and still get to class on time
I’m not used to this.
I should mention that despite this, I got two hours of sleep last night.
And I work the overnight tonight.
Great.
I could wake up in 8 hours and still get to class on time
I’m not used to this.

I have lost the will to do well in school
I don’t know I’m going to make it to May 31st.
Emotional Support
That’s what I feel like.
I’m never the first person that people want to hang out with.
But I am the first person someone will text when their having relationship problems.
or family problems
or school problems.
I don’t mind being their for people, but I grow weary of endlessly lending an ear and helping others.
Sometimes I need help too.
On a scale of one to Lord of the Rings, how much did you walk today?
How much did I wallk?
I left school, walked all the way to campus to drop off an internship application, and on the way I was heckled by several college students yelling ‘faggot’, I was rained on, and I had to listen to an old man tell a very long story about this leg.
On the way BACK to school I was rained upon even MORE, I got free food because I can charm old women very easily (this was a highlight) and I stood on a pitcher’s mound for the time in my life and NO that is not an innuendo for anything I stood on a bonafide pitcher’s mound.
So I WALKED FIVE HUNDRED MILES and then I WALKED FIVE HUNDRED MORE just to turn in an internship application and get back to my Renaissance Faire meeting.
So on a scale of One to The Lord of the Rings, I choose the one with MORDOR.

What I think when kids in my class read
- That’s a FULL STOP, NOT A COMMA
- That’s a COMMA, NOT A FULL STOP
- Why the heck can’t you pronounce that word?
- THE TEACHER JUST CORRECTED YOU WHY’D YOU GET IT WRONG AGAIN?!?!?!
- Can I sleep?
- If you can’t read, why’d you raise your hand?
- You can’t pronounce THAT word?
- WHAT THE HECK
- My skin’s crawling
- What you like long paragraphs for
- Oh god not him, his voice sounds like a dying nail on a dying chalkboard
- You skipped a line
- LOL what was that?
- I don’t even.
Every so often when I read in class I get applause.
Not bigheaded or anything I just happen to not suck at reading.
