(no subject)
What has happened this week? I've realized that 99% of people are just flat out stupid. People seem to have no idea of the consequences of actions. When I'm driving I'm like three steps ahead of where I am. Like I know when I'll change lanes and change back or start to get over ahead of time. Last night I was coming home and traffic was backed up from an accident. It was right where a lane ends and people were diving into this lane even though they were going to get 50 feet farther. But by saving the 10 seconds from passing 10 cars or so they slowed everyone down (themselves included) two minutes because they had to merge into bumper-to-bumper traffic.
Can people not think past the next ten seconds of their life? Maybe this is like a major revelation to me. Like why people can't stay out of debt because they aren't able to think past the next certain percentage of their life. Isn't insanity doing the same thing and expecting different results? Isn't that a famous quote? How have grown men and women not tried and failed enough to know the stupid crap they do won't work?
I say this as humbly as possible, that maybe it's time to acknowledge people are just way fucking dumber that me. Then I won't be so frustrated when they suck at life so bad. Maybe they have skills in areas where I'm lacking to make up for it. But really I don't believe that. There's this girl in some of my classes. Friday was the final for one of the classes. She has come to maybe 40% of the classes, doesn't do homework, failed the first test hasn't been to class in three weeks. She sits down for the final and explains this all to a friend, so she is aware these are bad things and the friend asks if she's ready for the test. She says 'Not really, it is what it is.' She's paying thousands of dollars to take this class and has to get a C to move on for her major and 'it is what it is'? What the fuck is that? It seriously blows my mind to realize how dumb the average person is. Like I've been totally sheltered from it or more likely I just ignored it. Like I wanted to believe people are inherently able to be successful. Thats obviously not true, and I'm lucky I didn't get a short straw in life.
I didn't mean to make that a rant. The past couple weeks sucked a lot. I was reminded again that I have zero friends my age and while some are close age-wise they aren't really close if you know what I mean. Not to say it's their fault. Everyone grows up at their own pace, I'm just kind of bored most days.
Basically everything besides school was shitty, but school was pretty perfect. I'm done with one class and have four finals to go.
I changed next semesters schedule so I go to class more in the morning than at night. I've started to lose connection with the real world. I'm on like a 1 PM to 3 AM schedule and I have trouble even waking up for noon classes.
We're supposed to get over a foot of snow in the next 20 hours or so. School being canceled Monday would suck a lot.
