im curious what do you have in common w/ your bias?

do not move to an east asian country so that you can fulfill your disgusting fantasy of indulging in a twisted and westernized version of what you perceive that country’s culture to be like. do not move there for the sole reason of having a better chance to see a celebrity that you like. do not get a job in education as an excuse for your move. don’t.

east asian countries do not exist for your enjoyment. they are real countries, with real people, and real problems. east asian coutnries are not your “dream land” of what you think that they are. they are not ~cool places to eat cool foods in while enjoying cool culture~. they are countries that actively face major societal issues and regional issues. they are more than the popular media/entertainment exported from them. and if you cannot understand that, you should not set foot there. 

if ur not east asian you can reblog

It’s around that time of year when kids start getting letters of being waitlisted, rejection and deferment. Just wanted to say hang in there– not everyone’s collegiate path is a strict linear progression. Taking gap years, transferring, going to your ‘B’or ‘C’ school, etc– they’re all completely valid ways to self-discovery and getting to where you want to be. From my own experience, things have a way of working out in the weirdest ways. Just keep your head up & mind open and don’t give up.
