So, I mentioned yesterday that I was probably going to write a blog post about how stupid people here are in college....and this is it. You don't have to read it if you don't want to, no one's forcing you to. And it's not really about stupid people in classes, it's about stupid people with their relationships...or rather the complexity of the relationships in college and in life in general.

If you've been reading some of my blog posts before, then you obvoiusly know about this international kid that is my friend. We're not really best friends, but we're friends and we talk often and have lunch together sometimes. I even told him that I was kidnapping him for Thanksgiving break because that's only like a week and he can't go back to China. Yes, he came here all the way from China.

His English is really good and I enjoy spending time with him and I always talk about him to other people because well, he's my friend and I think it's interesting how one can just leave their home country to come study in a foreign place... Did I mention that he's not even planning on seeing his family until next summer? He doesn't know if his mother will allow him to fly back to China for winter break. That takes some bravery right there. I don't think I'd ever be able to do it. Maybe doing study abroad, yea, but to spend one whole year without seeing my family right after high school...I don't think that that's something I could do.

I have props for this kid, and the other international kids in my hallway, there are a bunch. I live in a hallway of about 40 people (5 girls and 35 guys) and about 7-10 are international and of that 7-10, subtract about four and you have the population of those that are from China. It's quite something and interesting to me since I was born in China. I get to hear about it even though I've never been there before.

But that's not the stupid part about it. The stupid part is that now people are saying that I should get with this kid, like date him, things like that. But I don't know. I mean...he's not bad looking and everyone that has seen him, of my friends and my family, has said that they think that he's really cute, even those ones that don't like Asian people.

And not to be racist or seem disrespectful, although some might take it the wrong way, my younger sister is Chinese and she was also adopted from China, but she doesn't have an interest in Asian guys. For some reason, she just has no interest in them and it's all up to her personal preference, like I'm not saying that all Asian people have to be attracted to Asian people, but she hasn't found one that she thinks is attractive. Even after seeing the entirety of the K-Pop male population, well, almost. She thinks that they look feminine and she's not interested in it, but it's her own opinion and I have nothing against it. 

However, the day that my family was dropping me back off to college, we were standing outside of my dorm saying goodbye so they can get on the hour journey back home when my international friend walked out and was going to dinner, since it was already like six at night. My family didn't get a good look at him since he only waved and said hello to me as he walked past, but just from that glimpse of him they all wondered if that was the guy that I was saying that I was going to kidnap for Thanksgiving and a bunch of other questions. Just from that one second look at him, my sister deemed him cute, which is something rare. Later I took a creeper picture (like a picture without them knowing that you're taking a picture so you can show someone else what they look like) and it was of his face, or the side of his face, and she deemed him even cuter.

Even one of my other friends who doesn't have an interest in Asian guys, or even quiet guys for that matter since she's a very loud and outgoing person, said that he was cute. I even introduced the two and she was spazzing about it for quite sometime afterwards.

But now, here's the bad part. They keep bugging me about whether or not I'm hanging out with him or whether or not I'm going to see him. It gets annoying after a while. Sure, I don't think he's bad looking, in reality, I do think that he's cute, but I can't tell them that because then they'll only attempt to start provoking more. They'll attempt to try to push me together with him, even if some of them still don't know what he looks like. It gets annoying when all you hear is questions about you and that particular person.

Not to mention only that, but I recently did a scavenger hunt for one of my classes. Yes, college and scavenger hunts, but it was fun. We got to explore the campus and the city where my university resides and I was in a group with my roommate and this guy from down the hall, it's not the international kid I was talking about before. We're all together in this one big group, so basically we live together and most of us all have the same classes together. It's quite something, but it's cool.

Anyway, my roommate has a boyfriend and the one particular place we were supposed to take a picture wouldn't have suited her, so I and the other guy were forced to take the picture. After my roommate took the picture, she said that it was quite cute and that it would be a good couple shot. Later, I made that picture my profile picture because I didn't like any of the other pictures from that day.

After that, and just because of me changing it to that picture, everyone now thinks that the guy and I are dating. I got texts from my friends who are going to different colleges asking if I'm dating that guy or that they wonder who  he is. Even my sister, the one who is rooting for me to get with the international kid is wondering who the kid in my picture is and said that he's not that bad, but he's only a friend who lives down the hall. As of right now, I like the international kid. I'm pretty sure I like him, but I don't know if he feels the same way about me.

Moving on from that conversation and back on to what I was talking about before, everyone thinks that the guy and I are going out. I guess it's because they didn't know that we were doing a scavenger hunt and they just assumed that we took a picture there for our own liking, I'm not entirely sure, but that's probably it.

But then last night, my roommate needed help with this project so some people came into our room to help her. He was walking by in the hallway and I told him that people keep texting me and asking me if we're dating and he said to let them think that. Actually, he told me to tell them that we are actually dating. What is this?

People...are weird. I mean, okay, so there's this guy down the hall who apparently wants all of my friends to think that we're dating and then there's the international kid that I like, who also lives farther down the hall and who I hang out with occasionally and introduce him to "American" things since he's not very accustomed to them. 

This is just one very big dosage of confusion. 

Well thanks for reading this, if you read it all the way. I know that it's long, but for some reason I just felt like I needed to tell a mysterious third party about this who knows nothing about the opposite party and hasn't even seen the opposite party before. If you have any opinions on anything, don't be afraid to express them. I'm always open to advice in these types of situations.

And that's it. Maybe I should do another blog post on the classes of my college or maybe the fun times. Should I do something like that in the future? Should I have weekly updates of like this situation, my classes situation, and the fun times that I have? Because you know, living in a dorm full of boys is quite something. Plus if you have any questions about college in general, feel free to ask. I'll respond to you with the best of my knowledge with the university that I'm in.

So, have a good morning/afternoon/night! :D
