oh my gosh, naila

things i learned at law school (so far)

nnnaila — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 18:37:25 +0000

Never do anything you don’t want to do. Never lose control over your own life.
Never let your happiness depend on other people’s success/failure.
Wear neutral colored clothing when you want to blend in in class.
Reading order: textbooks, outlines, then powerpoint handouts.
What goes online stays online. Watch your tweets.
Constantly comparing your GPA with others is a people-repellent
So you have huge ambitions! Good for you. Now keep your head down and work hard. There is no quicker way to make people resent you in this school than seeing someone who’s always working an angle to get one more notch on their resumes.
Always try to get at least 5 hours of sleep every day
Don’t believe everything you hear. Don’t get sucked in the rumor mill.
Try to show up to class as much as possible.
Bring an umbrella every day when rainy season starts. This will save you one day.
Try to be nice, but don’t kill yourself trying to make friends with the few people you naturally dislike. Chances are they don’t like you either.
You’ll see lots of different people with characteristics and mannerisms you’ll think of as annoying sometimes, but honestly most people are actually pretty nice. Really.
And finally: be as honest as you possibly can.

(disclaimer: this list is not how i act in real life, it’s meant to be a guide so i don’t slip up and become apa banget)

Closure.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

“Iya, dia itu kayaknya setengah (etnis A) sama setengah (etnis B), tapi seringnya keliatan kaya setengah dewa”

It’s amazing what people’s brains come up with while half asleep :’) terlalu

Sometimes it feels as if we’ve never met and all the things we did were just a figment of my imagination. There’s literally only one thing that keeps me believing that everything was real, once upon a time.

I wish we could be friends again.

Now with 200% more whining!

1. These days I honestly don’t know why we’re friends, it’s more out of habit than any actual affection. Sometimes I can’t tell whether you’re laughing at me or with me. It’s not cool to fuel other people’s insecurities, okay? Kbye

2. I don’t get why people think you’re so awesome. You only do stuff that makes you look cool instead of stuff you actually like, psssh.

3. I can’t.

4. Talking to you tires me out, you just don’t get it, so I’ll just smile and nod and stare blankly while you hog the conversation with YOUR needs.

5. Don’t try too hard lol :”)

6. Thank you for making me feel worthwile, you guys sparkle <3

7. I can't help but wonder what we would be like if things were just a tiny bit different.

I’m afraid I might have bitten off more than I can chew;
Made the wrong decisions;
Let go of things I should have held on to

Life’s just one thing after another. Ya ngga sih? Akhir-akhir ini baru nyadar kl selama ini sehari-hari itu kerjaannya cuma ngikutin perintah aja, dari kecil malah. Bedanya dulu suruhannya semacem minum susu! makan obatnya! jangan gigitin kuku! tapi sekarang suruhannya lebih berat, lebih demanding, kuliah yang hasilnya nilai bagus, cari jodoh anak baik-baik, dituntut jadi lebih mature dan dewasa dan anggun sementara lucunya di rumah nyaris selalu diperlakukan kayak balita. Yang paling klimaks itu pas ada nikahan dan bahkan saat itu gue awalnya gak dipercayai buat make anting sendiri (!!!!!) sementara itu model anting biasa aja bukan yang super ribet ala chandelier atau apalah. Jadi untuk gerakan motorik mudah yang harusnya udah dikuasai anak usia enam tahun aja gue masih dinilai kurang kompeten, makasih banyak ya

Aduh baca paragraf yang diatas kok kesannya hidup gue sedih amat ya, sebenernya gak segitunya juga sih cuma lagi kesel banget. Iya kok tau kok masih banyak orang-orang yang jauh lebih menderita, yang bahkan buat ngeluh-ngeluh ngeselin di blog aja gabisa karena didera penyakit dan kelaparan (oklebay), tapi dalam kondisi yang jauh lebih bebas dari mayoritas penduduk di planet bumi ini rasanya kok hidup masih nggak bebas, nggak adventurous, nggak puas……..

the least cool person ever

Here’s some news for you: I’ll keep doing what I like with the people I like. I would be lying if I said I didn’t care what you think of me, but one person’s opinion isn’t nearly enough for me to let go.

PS i suck at everything i actually care about. booooooo
