Discrimination Still Exists

In Australia, I rarely ever see genuine racism for nonwhite races. 

But today, I was revealed to the ugly truth.
While on the bus, my driver swerved straight passed a mother with 2 children and a baby in a pram. This was unmistakable to see. If it was, her frantic waving from the bus stop was. 
My bus driver made eye contact with her, and continued to drive. 
I forgot to mention the fact that she and her children were aboriginal. 
My bus driver just muttered derogatory terms and drove on by.
Being shocked by the confrontation was naive. But now I’ve learned there is still filth in people that needs to be reformed.

the 21 unspoken rules of joining a fandom

  1. Don’t criticise other’s ships.
  2. Don’t spam. In anyway.
  3. Don’t scam. In anyway. You will be killed.
  4. Hashtags are annoying.
  5. Everybody and anybody is allowed to like the thing. No matter who. Except maybe Hilter. He’s not cool.
  6. It’s okay to like your fandom because of your favourite character.
  7. It’s okay to hate the character everybody adores.
  8. It’s not okay to hate on other users because their follower account has less than you, or treat them any differently.
  9. Bad quality pics/poorly filtered/disgusting fonts[COMIC SANS MS] will get you shunned. If you want a really clean, chic fandom acc, I suggest HQ pics, a nice theme (something matching, a system you use when you post stuff, I don’t mean your layout).
  10. Photoshop is your best friend.
  11. Wattpad and Fanfiction.net are your life.
  12. Merch will buy you everybody. Want a friend? Give them some merch.
  13. Just accept the crack ships. They’re there. They’re most likely the reason 60% of the fans are in the fandom. Just.. don’t question it.
  14. Make you sure you research everything about the fandom. Everything…
  15. There is so many inside jokes. Honestly, fandom’s are better than real life friends.
  16. If you have talent for gif/story/fan art making… Do it. Do it for the sake of humanity. Or not. Just do it.
  17. If you can’t gif/story/fan art create… make sure to support the creators!
  18. Credit.
  19. Don’t repeat the same fandom joke over and over.
  20. If you see anybody in real life wearing merch from your fandom, you make SURE you compliment them. Don’t even hestitate. They’re most likely dying to meet anybody from the fandom too.
  21. Realise you can never leave the fangirl/boy life and you will be consumed with the impending darkness (you’ll find out what that means).

The Fault In Our Stars by John Green

A common classic of our modern society, the New York Time’s best selling novel, The Fault In Our Stars is not, in fact, the only emotionally scarring, bittersweet story of our generation.

The Fault In Our Stars by John Green

My top 3 recommended are (warning! may have spoilers):

  • Paper Towns by John Green
Mystery/Romcom
Soon to be a movie adaption.
If you enjoyed Green’s TFIOS, you will adore Paper Towns. Paper Town’s is about a boy, Q, saving the cliche love of his life. Kidnapped, murdered.. assassinated? No. She ran away. How? Why? Nobody knows. But Q wants to know, before the clock strikes 12. Or else he may be discovering the mourning of her existence, not the answers to his compulsive desire to find her. Among the helpless crush, there is adventure and plenty of comedy, particularly by the peculiar best friends. I rate this higher than TFIOS, this constantly had be on my toes, I never put it down! I read it in one sitting; I couldn’t dare to close on a cliff hanger.
Paper Towns by John Green
  • Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher
Tragedy/Mystery
Soon to be a movie adaption.
This is my favourite story of all time. The setting and layout of the novel is the tip off the iceberg to originality. It is set as a cassette player, with stop, start, pause, play and forward/backward buttons throughout the pages. Clay Jensen, receives a mystery package, filled with cassettes. Thirteen to be exact. Each dedicated to a local classmate, and relatives of classmates from his school. He’s on them. Left by the one and only, Hannah Baker, the girl who killed herself two weeks prior, and also the love of Clay’s life. Hopelessly, Clay scraps the pieces to his crush’s broken soul, finding the thirteen reasons why the demons were too much to cope with. You can hear Hannah’s tapes at her blog, spoken by Selena Gomez. Warning- triggers may be inside, as well as emotional torment of the dead loves. But, if you enjoyed Augustus and Hazel, this is similar. Except one was dead from the start.
Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher
  • The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Peter Chbosky
Romcom/Angst
I won’t spoil this one too much, there is already a movie on it. Charlie was just an average boy. Adolescence, the largest hurdle a hormonal teenager must tackle. Observing everything from the sideline, wallflower Charlie learns a thing or two from the ones who live life. By joining the dance on the gym floor, like any other ignorant, high schooler is doing. Coming of age is no better described than this modern classic. After you’ve read this, feel free to stare at Logan Lerman’s beautiful face portray Charlie and the accurate adapted film. Love, laughter, pain, demons… it’s the perfect combination for a book that will change your life. Especially for all you adolscent-to-be’s.
