Party Foul
A week ago on Saturday i threw my first 30 person party at my new place. Lets just say i'm never doing it again. The event was for these two girls birthday party. They were good friends of my best friend so i said why not. One thing went wrong though, people started partying way to early and after plenty of cake, i had about 4 nasty stains on the carpet, a couple of holes in my walls and some other grotesqueries which i do not want to discuss. So, eventually my mom found out about the damages because i posted up pictures of them on facebook(silly me) and had a huge talk with me. Good thing she lives in Peru because she would've wooped my ass!
Major Undecided?
I've changed my major approximately 3 times this semester. The truth is that i have no idea what i want to do for the rest of my life. But i just want something, a major, that i can take with me anywhere I desire, because the truth is that i don't really want to spend the rest of my life in America. I feel my future yearning for a huge change because you only live once! I don't know where i'll go, but i'm searching for the perfect place, i just wish i knew which major would my safest bet.
Requiem For A Dream review
Yesterday I saw Requiem For a Dream for the first time. The movie was very messed up, from beginning to end. The movie goes deep into the reality of drug addiction and its psychological and social problems that follow. The characters' drug addiction was primarily to heroin or prescription pills. The movie shows a doctor not even looking once at her patient and prescribing her 3 kinds of diet pills. These pills then become an addiction of the main characters mother who later gets locked in a mentally ill ward. Her son however, eventually develops a severe infection on his arm (infected needles) and when he goes to get it checked out at a hospital, his doctor however, didn't even treat the wound but instead called the police who instantly arrested him. The guys arm eventually gets chopped off at the end of the movie and his girlfriend becomes a prostitute in order to fund and supply her drug addiction. The movie was really sad, but it showed an important lesson: because of her sons drug addiction, the mother was left alone after he left without a trace. And with no one looking after her, the mother became obsessed with the fantasies of her past and resulted in her craving for weight loss. The fantasies develop and become more real as her drug addiction escalated. This movie was perhaps the saddest movie I've ever seen and I highly recommend it to everyone.

My unwritten future
My parents have always taught me the importance of planning my future. Starting two years ago I started asking why. In my present form I feel a yearning to make my life be an adventure. It's difficult for me when people ask if I plan to get married or have kids. The truth is that I dunno yet. Sometimes people are happier avoiding the typical norms of life. I see myself getting far away and moving to an outside country where my life may feel complete, because consequently I don't see myself happy if I stay in America. It's scary to see how fast life comes and goes, but i'm prepared to do whatever it takes to satisfy my yearning for happiness.
