Things that shit me, and the unconscious/subconscious elitism that needs be discussed: when the media reports on the lives of young deceased people, and feels the need to emphasise their school or job in the headline if they have a prestigious one. Unfortunately, those people (at least most of them) will never be able to live to their potential or achieve what they set out to do, but that doesn't mean that it's ok for the media to judge these things based on the school they went to or the job they have. It's ok for the media to provide details about the person in the story (the school/uni they go to, their job, life achievements/hobbies, family), because this is what all stories about deceased people do, but the headline should only contain their age or the incident, not the prestigious school (which is a irrelevant indicator future potential especially if it's private) or their job. Having these details in the headline implies that these people's lives are more valuable as a result of going to a certain school or having a certain job, and are more worthy of our sympathy.

The only exception I have is if their school or job is linked to their death (story of over-worked, fatigued young investment banker intern in New York or a negligent school).

Trying to read and take notes off a Maths Quest textbook, each page is jam packed with text and is guaranteed to make anyone close the textbook within 20 seconds of opening it. Way to go, Jacaranda!

When it rains earlier in the day but then it becomes sunny. So the ground and everything around me is wet but the sun is out. This is more than my little mind can compute.

When it's 30 degrees in the morning/early afternoon, and then not even 3 hours later, there's heavy rain and thunderstorms.. #melbourneweather

When my mum only wants to go to the library because she wants to sit down and play a stupid game on her phone using their wifi, instead of letting my brother ride his new bike. Kind of a little bit sad, not going to lie.

Omg the past two nights I've heard moths flying around and then when I grudgingly turn on the lights to try locate them, they decide to play hide and seek. -___-

There's a psychotic bird that attacks my bedroom window back at my parent's place every morning at around 6:30.

And they wonder why I don't come home that often!
