life ain't always what you think it ought to be

I finally found an opportunity to donate my hair! Locks of Love is doing a hair donation drive at my university in less than a month, but it pisses me off that they only ask for 6 inches. I’ve researched this well enough to know that they only donate hair over 10 inches long to wigs, and that they sell hair 6-10 inches in length to wig makers for cash. I just wish they’d have made a disclaimer because so many of the students are going to choose to only donate 6 instead of the 10 that they could donate since it seems they can still make a difference.

It’s also unfortunate that I’ve been getting into French braids lately (never have been able to with all my layers), and that in a month, I won’t have enough hair to do them anymore.

SO GOOD. But I also haven’t read the books.

I love Penn <3! Apparently they did this for all the HPs too.

And shoutout to NC! shooting location for The Hunger Games!

Sometimes I wonder if being well-read is a curse. If I’ve been quizzed on what great philosophers think, on how film and literary critics analyze worked, on how historians interpreted certain events. If instead of coming up with my own interpretations, I grow reliant on others’ ideas. Sometimes I can’t even separate what I’ve come up with with what other people have because my thoughts are now a derivative of others’. Sometimes it confuses me. And I wonder if I would have read it differently had I came up with my own ideas and written them down, only to read other interpretations and revise my interpretations and write them down. And to compare the before and after. To separate and clarify my thoughts so that I can remember what I thought before I was well-read.

I’m watching the Westminster Kennel Club dog show, and I’ve decided I need a dog. Or two. I want them all! #onlychildproblems

I’ve been in a long distance relationship on-and-off for a year now. First, it was 30 minutes away while we were both in high school, then 90 minutes away over the summer, and 400 miles or 6.5 hours of driving or 1.5 hours of flying now that we’re in college. I go back home every break, and my parents don’t know about him, so it’s hard to spend too much time together. So I try to make the most of the time I have with him.

But I regret what I do in that time.

A railroad track splits into two forks: five people are strapped down on one fork, and one person is tied down on the other. A train is coming and is heading for the five people. Would you pull the switch that redirects the train towards the fork with only one person?
