How University is Killing My Passion

Outsiders
“You don’t look like you’re from here though.” I sighed as the words slipped so carelessly from their lips, so oblivious to the way I’d carry that burden with me wherever I go.

Deflated on the toilet, rattling intensely to let this god-damn thing go, I thought of it: Original Goldfish crackers…
Maybe we should pass the crown onto Juan, he’s of age in September,” my father’s harsh voice broke out in the room. It was silent for a while. The council quieted after my declaration that I did not want to marry someone while I was so young and not out of love. I watched my father’s eye twitch as he brooded in his silent disdain for my words. He knew not to directly object to my words — there had been too many occasions in which we got into fights over words, and I embarrassed him in front of people he held of importance.
