what have we come to?

a few days ago, a website was created that has caused a craze that has swept over the entire campus. This website is called "holyokeconfessional.com". it is the most ridiculous site in the world - an anonymous forum where people can post anything that's on their mind. forums entitled, for example, "who is your secret crush?", "who has the best butt on campus?", and "who do you wish would turn gay?" i'm really apathetic about these types of forums - they are slightly entertaining in a ridiculous sense but i think that overall it's no good. people are taking it way too seriously and feeling like shit because they aren't getting named and think they're unnoticed. i'm torn because i feel like the website has some good qualities - people can share secrets and find out that other people are going through the same issues or are thinking the same things, that they're not alone. but it's being misused for shallow, pointless, and sometimes mean threads.

i thought i left high school two years ago?

on a lighter night, i'll be returning to texas in three days. i've got a lot of reading to catch up on during that week, but i'm looking forward to the warm weather and cool water that awaits me.
