It's probably what most people want in life, for their lives to have some sort of meaning, that value of importance which is rare to see in some people. Unless your rich - because then people will care, whether its just to use that person or because they are important to a company. Obviously there are a lot of TV shows (namely American) where rich people are portrayed to have a huge amount of problems (per episode) and those problems can get overlooked with money. In the real life, it doesn't seem so realistic. Obviously these shows aren't real, that's what makes them so interesting to watch!
Movies that have the words 'based on a true story' at the beginning tend to be of a horror genre but they lack the excitement a fictional movie possess and most of the time they leave the story unfinished which usually leaves me with crushed dreams that this story will never live to see daylight again because nobody knows how the story ends up. That is really sad.
Most of the time I seriously question my existence, and what my purpose would be after my existence on planet earth, because I'll tell you what it feels like its going to be like for me... nothing. Another life is lost big deal. And I don't want that sort of life for myself, I want my life to have some meaning, some existence to people, and that can't be accomplished if I sit around for 4 hours catching up on new shows like Suits (great show, even if I don't know all the fancy lawyer terms) to fill up this empty hole in my social life.
I'm not saying I sit around and wait for things to be handed to me on a silver platter, because well, lets be honest, I am not rich enough to get that sort of privilege just yet (yet!). I apply for positions in hope of filling that hole in my life and all I can do is wait, because life is not like the dramas, you can't win a job by being sassy or having financial help, its about doing it the correct way and going through the longwinded process of going to university £9000 a year only to not be taught anything new but developing what you already know (nonsense).
Then again I'm not rich so I don't know how that class works, but I am excited to find out that's for sure.

Giving back and Merry new year!
I'd hate to be all cliché but I know how much my non-existent audience enjoy them. New year calls for new beginnings. Although I still, in small ways struggle with my confidence, I do not let that affect my life in a huge way. Speaking up is definitely a huge issue for me, but I am getting there promise!
One of the things I will do this year is give back (as well as tax which is not an option!). I have a back story behind this though. *Clears Throat*
I was in a supermarket and the queue was taking ages so the guy in front of me could not be bothered to wait and left the store, he dropped a £5 note and my voice being very low, he could not hear me as I called out for him several times. I was a bit confused with this unfamiliar £5 note in my hand, so I asked my cousin who said that I should not keep it (which was obvious, duh!) and give it to some charity instead. I thought that was a brilliant idea and spent the rest of the day looking for some charity around town, couldn't find any. Instead I kept the £5 as change and decided to give £5 to a charity online, through my account. This way this donation had some meaning to me.
I remember my mum and I were watching television and the Breast Cancer Research ad came on the television, the work they do and their popularity is incredible. My mum thinks they will find a cure for it one day but wishes there was more research towards epilepsy, seeing the way it affects my dad. That thought stuck in my head ever since. My mum does so much for my dad because of his condition(s) and so this was the least I could do for her.
So that is my reason to donating to that charity. And just so you guys don't think I'm fobbing you off, I'll prove it. Yeah that yellow marking was me, I did not know if it was something to hide so I did it anyway! And I did buy something for myself from the shop for some unknown reason. I cut off the bottom part of the page for security reasons of course.
It is a good feeling and I think I will do this every month, I earn enough to give some back to charity, it may not seem a lot but you don't see many students do this! Now, I don't intend to tell anyone about this because I don't seek that sort of attention, instead I tell a bunch of strangers on the net in hope of inspiring them to give a little back (do leave a comment if you do!), for those people who know others who are affected or such.
Now, I can seriously go on with this every month for my dad alone, he has quite a few problems, but then again that's normal coming from an Asian background. I do love the saying 'Every little helps', because I hope my donation does make a difference, even if it helps them reach a million smackaroonies.
Yeah, this feels like a good year, guys.
Stay awesome.
