Escaping to Another World

Or should I say, "A Whole New World?"

Have you ever been so incredibly bored with the realities of your own life that you create an entirely new one up? In your head of course. You adopt ideas and elements from movies, shows that you’re interested in and make the world in those yours.

Now this is coming from personal experience, and maybe I’m strange but perhaps I’m not the only one either. When I stare off into the distance or become distracted and disinterested, I’m most likely lost in my own world again. A world that reflects whatever my current interest in. Following the release of the Avengers? I’m part of it, just as badass as Black Widow (but no one could really reach that level, obviously.) Big Hero 6? I’m one of the “science geeks” of San Fransokyo. I have a habit of incorporating whatever it is I’m currently fancying into the plot of this world of mine; it might be the reason I get so invested into my shows. The danger of this, I’m learning, is that reality will never be nearly as appealing as the joys of your own imagination. When you’re forced to come back to the real world, it’s boring and bland and colorless. In short, you’re rarely satisfied. In your own mind you control time. What you accomplish, how do you, and when you do. Reality is filled with uncertainty and variables that you can never truly control. Guilty pleasure to an odd level, huh?

Whether I’m just an oddity or if there’s others out there like me, the limits of our imagination sure stretch farther than I ever thought possible. It might not be such a good idea to be living in a separate world at times, but entertaining it couldn’t possibly be awful, could it?

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
