New layout that I whipped up, because the one I attempted sucked so much. Actually, I lie. It’s just the coding and background and everything I was trying didn’t work too well. It was kind of like the one Jess currently has up, but my other images were more bluey and the texture was different. And it featured Paramore. But why let those images I cut out go to waste? So I quickly made this one. It’s not excellent, but it works and I don’t have to worry about the textured background and whatever. If I had more patience, it’d be up there. All that’s left is for me to sort out my content and stuff. Most of it is pretty useless. Ignore it for now, kay?
Can you believe how jealous people can be? I was talking to some guy today. He was telling me about his medicine interviews and how he has an offer for King’s University of London. I congratulated him for this; I’m sure he worked hard to get there. The conversation somehow moved to Oxbridge applicants and exceptional academics. This wasn’t the first time I’ve heard things along the lines of: “I hate those smart arses”, “Some of them don’t deserve it” and “They’re so rude about it”. How ridiculous. Come on, do people really think that successful people don’t work hard? Of course they do. You can’t get into e.g. Oxford or Cambridge without working your butt off. And those who do get accepted worked for it. Yes, I admit it comes to some people naturally, but I hate hearing about friends hating each other because one’s going to a better university than the other, or doing a harder degree to get into. I know a few in this situation, and they’re not rubbing it in everyone’s faces. But some people say they are, or want to think they are because it makes them feel better. Anyway, I’d definitely be shouting it to the heavens if I got an offer from Oxford, or won a Nobel Prize, or whatever. Ah, jealous much?
Pretty used to it, going to my school. It’s very competitive, and elitists are there to put down some people. It’s so petty. Why can’t we be happy for each other? I’ve been rejected by four universities. Why would I hate everyone else for that? I don’t understand people.
Lmao, I feel like a hippy, wanting love and peace and all. Just thinking about that song “Why can’t we be friends”.
What do you think? It’s just my outlook (and I didn’t want to use myself as an example for the last bit *blushes*, I just didn’t want to use someone else in case it implied they were failing at whatever they were doing).
Anyway (I carry on, as I can’t click the “post” button because my internet just went… someone go find it for me), this weekend has been pretty busy. I went to a friend’s 18th birthday party yesterday which I enjoyed. I’d post pictures, but people might not want their faces on the internet randomly, haha. It was really fun (I even wore make up.. eek! I hate doing that, though, lmao) and today I did this Air Cadet event in London to celebrate the birth of the ATC. Apart from being stuck out in the freezing cold with my feet going numb and my arms unable to bend, it wasn’t too bad. It didn’t make my cold go away though, do I’m just wrapping warm now.
Anyone know how to edit/add smilies on Wordpress? Meh, I’ll work it out.
