College

As an asian, I have already been contemplating colleges.
To get into a good college, you have to be smart, interesting, and talented.
And most importantly, have overcome some sort of problem.
So basically, somebody who's had a perfectly normal life can't really get into a good college.
And that's my problem.

I am a really boring person with nothing special.
I'm semi antisocial, I don't do sports, I'm weak, I'm average at studies...
I don't even do anything competitive.
It's pretty sad, honestly.
The only reason I do anything even sort of competitive is because my mom wants me to.
I don't want to run for vice president, I HATE speaking in public.
Are you kidding me?
But of course, I have to oblige.

I haven't overcome any sort of huge struggle in my life.
I'm not poor.
I'm not mentally different.
I've never been bullied.
I've had a good life.
But of course, with a normal life, you can't go anywhere special.

An top of that, I'm Asian.
There's the stereotype that all asians are smart.
I am here to confirm that.
That means there are millions of other Asians competing to the same school.
What can I do about that?

Of course, I understand that colleges want diversity.
They don't want a huge school to be entirely filled with squinty eyed geniuses.
But it's really unfair to the rest of us Asians.
Only the super elite ones can even stand a chance of making it.
It's pretty depressing, once you think about it.

Ugh.
Why is life so difficult.
