I'm starting to view Miley Cyrus as a reputable artist now. And it's all because of Party in the USA. I first heard the song on the commericals for her Wal Mart clothing line (which actually has some cute clothes!) and it sounded ridiculously catchy, so I itunes-ed it and fell in love. Her vocals are amazing, the music is amazing, and the editing is to die for. All in all, it's the perfect pop song!
Party in the USA also held back the homesickness that could've came when I first moved in. I mean my situation and the situation that's described in the song are essentially the same. Miley sings about being a moving to a place in which she is the only one of her kind, or at least as she sees. Which brings me to the topic of today's blog: It's weird as hell being one of the only black girls that I know.
There is only two black people on my floor: myself and my friend Yaa. Having gone to predominately black schools all my life, the concept of there being about 15 white people to every black person is completely foreign to me. And Blacks are so different to Whites, too!
Take my roomate and I, for instance. Whereas I may listen to some 90s R&B for a throwback she'll put on some old school folky music. I know that's a really over-said comparison but it's still true. And when we watched Oprah when her and Chris Rock was talking about Black hair care, her jaw dropped at the fact that an average Black woman would spend majority of her day at the salon, and that the hairdresser does everything to her client's hair.
I'll keep writing about this topic, because it really interests me: Two culturally different people are picked to live in the same room. What happens when people stop being polite, and start GETTING REAL!
Real World: College
College Update:
My room stinks and I know it's not my fault.
The squirrels here are fearless warriors who go apeshit on any mere human who tries to challenge their reign on campus.
Astrology class has a 3 hour lab. FML.
I'm coming home for the next two weekends!
My dad would rather argue with me than tell me that he misses me.
Me and my friends brought 4 fish two days ago.
One of said fish died yesterday.
