This.

Move in with your parents.

Yes, you will sometimes feel like you aren't doing much and maybe should be making money. But that is precisely the moment when you are letting go of your internalized slave mentality and opening the door to your own inner greatness.

what are your hours and whats your job?

>Going away to college was one of the best decisions I ever made. I learned more about myself and a new culture than I would have if I went somewhere closer to home. I learned more about the people more than anything. I learned how their school systems were and different vocabulary they used. I learned how to be more independent because I didn't have a choice. I couldn't just run home every time things got tough.

As the EIC of my uni's Odyssey branch I can confirm that 99% of our writers are retarded chicks who think they're really "#relatable" and never read.

Do you get to put this on your resume as a 'published' article or something? I don't see why anyone would write one of these.

I used to read these Great Illustrated Classics which was really nice. Maybe Redwall.

How long have you been studying chinese? Mandarin or cantonese? Do you use any particular system or book to learn hanzi?

MADE IN CHINA

No offense but I've seen poems written by primary school students that are better than this (stylistically at least); granted, they are natives speakers and you are a learner. The idea is somewhat fine, but the execution needs a lot of polishing up.

>妳如果直接扔到垃圾桶
You need an object for this sentence. Sounds really clunky.

>我也不会在意
Drop the 也 here. It's unnecessary.


What Chinese poems have you read before?

Just yell louder than the other person. And if all else fails, say something like, "You're obviously too suborn. I won't bother arguing with you anymore."

Disgusting sophist.
Learn by example, Plato argues really fucking well. Look up to Schop's Art of Being Right for an example of how to catch on to what your opponent is doing and call them a jackass.

Making my way downtown, walking fast, faces pass and I'm homebound...

You guys seem like interesting anons. I have a severely critical view of reality and humanism as a whole, which is a theme i guess it may be similar or common for you.

they didn't have anything better in that page count range, give it a rest

>>9633615
It's quite well written, even if it is rather simplistic. The closing lines are really very good.

and basically most zines written in the 90s were by couch hobos mythologising their slacker lifestyles.

Appriciated.

Also found 'Hobos, Hustlers, and Backsliders'.

College made me real eyes how smart but lazy I am.

btw this is not literature

>inb4 some faggot says you can't be humble if you say you're humble

>>9633400
Humility came after college when I got fuckin' rekt by people smarter than me and by people with twice as much power than me yet half the mental horsepower. Also "street smarts" or situational/practical intelligence is real. I'm leftist scum but working taught me a lot more (humility included) than school.
