The New Cliche

"I know this sound cliche, but (insert the commonplace idea you were considering here)".... This is the new cliche. I'm not concerned that my pointing it out may seem redundant or hypocritical, but I think someone had to voice it... or has it already been voiced and by posting this, I too am a cliche? Well, circles don't have a ending point so why start now. My main point, as many a thinker has thought, is that there are no original ideas. Every concept that you come up with thinking it is genuine has more than likely been conceived somewhere else at some other point in history.
So on these grounds, why would you want to blatantly point out your nuance? Also, if it is that much of a cliche, most people would be able to gather that whatever you say later to this opening statement is not unique.
Just an observation.
And here's a unicorn!

Slackin' Off!

I really don't feel like doing homework. It's not that I'm against the concept, quite the contrary, I find homework very helpful. It helps the ideas soak in, like practicing a piece of music instead of just listening to it over and over to play it by ear. It is possible that I'm just worn out. Also, I like to listen to music in the homework process, so I don't ever give the homework my full attention.... and I successfully completed that circle and contradicted myself. Perks for Alex!
I ate some carrots today. That was pretty neat.
In other news, having friends is overrated! I think it is kind of funny to go from having a great, big bunch of friends to being virtually friendless. I'm finally getting from the perspective from the outside looking in. It is a still life frame sometimes. I just get to walk through these social settings and predict how they'll turn out (I'm right more often than I thought I'd be).

High School Never Ends, So Don't Get Your Hopes Up

After a week in the official college setting I've successfully decided that high school is impossible to escape. I still find similar tendencies, clicks and cliches I thought I had successfully avoided.
Some tips for dealing with these problems that can be annoying are as follows:
1. Be choosey with everything, friends, lovers and even group projects. You don't want to be bound with a golden ring to some alcoholic bum, sit and eat lunch with the condescending harpies that can almost always be categorized as conformists or even be stuck with the narrow-minded fascists for 2 weeks to work on your U.S. government paper.

2. Only join clubs that contribute to the environment you want to surround yourself with. Don't join the debate team if you came to college looking for a studious solace. Don't join the environmental activists if you don't like trees. Don't get involved partying if you don't want chaos.

3.  Always have a safe spot. Right now, mine is my bike. It's locked up right next to the road off campus and when needed I just cruise onto the horizon. It feels like emerging from a fog or waking up from a bad dream, when I just can't get away from anything. A nook in the library or shady tree on the edge of campus are some other good ideas.
