I. Hate. Writing. About. Myself/ My opinions/ My thoughts/ My experiences. For School.
I don’t have anything interesting to say, and I definitely don’t have anything to say that everyone else hasn’t already thought of and dismissed as sophomoric. Please make it stop.

While in some parts of India, many expectant parents still say they’d prefer bearing sons, members of the Piplantri village, in the western state of Rajasthan, are breaking this trend by celebrating the birth of each baby girl in way that benefits everyone. For every female child that’s born, the community gathers to plant 111 fruit trees in her honor in the village common.
This unique tradition was first suggested by the village’s former leader, Shyam Sundar Paliwal, in honor of his daughter who had passed away at a young age.
But planting trees is only one way that the community is ensuring a brighter future for their daughters. According to a report in The Hindu, villagers also pool together around $380 dollars for every new baby girl and deposited in an account for her. The girl’s parents are required to contribute $180, and to make a pledge to be considerate guardians.
“We make these parents sign an affidavit promising that they would not marry her off before the legal age, send her to school regularly and take care of the trees planted in her name,” says Paliwal.
Over the last six years alone, as population there has increased, villagers in Piplantri have planted nearly a quarter million trees — a welcoming forest for the community’s youngest members, offering a bit of shade for their brighter future.

Please get your patriarchal ideas the fuck out of my room. And the condescending tone? That can leave too. K? Thanks.
But actually, if someone could reality check my ass and help me figure this “college” thing out? That would be супер мега awesome.
This Cat May or May Not Be the Antichrist
Understandably the cats look the most embarrassed to be there.

I’ve decided that life is more important than writing this damn paper. I could be dealing with multiple emotional or physical turmoils of people I care about, but I’m supposed to be critiquing someone critiquing Shakespeare. No thank you.
I would like, from now on, to know what I want. That way I can take my bad-ass self out to get it. Coincidence I (usually) have. Goals? Not so much. Help.
