and a guy was unconcsious in the apartment where it started.
the weird thing is i didnt panic or stare in sheer terror, i mean i knew the firefighters were coming and that they would put it out yeah? and i didnt even freak out either when the local news reported him as dead, i knew that he would most likely be dead because he inhaled too much smoke
i dont even feel like talking to my friends abt it, and i feel like i would just bother them since we dont text often so thats mainly why im posting here, just to get it out and atuff
(probably not the place to post this but dont have a reddit oop)
as of now im at a young age where im looking into these kinds of stuff, when i realise most universities that are american are really prestigious and will be much more likely to land you jobs in the field you want to, and is better for networking since lets face it, america has a lot of cities that are the cultural epicenters of the world.
i live in canada and although we do have pretty grade-a universities that come at a fairly lower cost (e.g. university of toronto, university of british columbia, mcgill) but they only hold excellence in select programs, while t20/prestigious universities (namely, nyu, ucla, princeton, harvard) have a lot reputation attached to MOST of their programs, and seem to churn out accomplished ppl in their respective fields, even though their costs are rampant. lets say you are interested in film majoring. while canada might have capilano university, ryeson university and vancouver film school, while usa has usc, nyu tisch, columbia university, calarts, and so many more. i can do this with a lot of other fields and careers, but i'll cut it short here.
im going into eighth grade, and come from a single parent household who makes 40k-50k a year. and even my mother is a mcgill alumni with a degree in communications, however it can largely be attributed that she didnt end up working in the tv/film industry due to the fact she found a job she was comfortable with financially, and enjoyed quite a lot.
i realise im way too fucking young to be worrying abt this shit, but i would quite honestly just like to get my shit figured out as soon as possible.
EDIT: forgot to add some of my biggest doubts are crazy tuition, and 200k plus debt. it would honestly be ideal if the more prestigious unis were only 6-10k a year like up north, that way i wouldn't need to worry abt making my mom go bankrupt haha
Our main character Stacey is sweating profusely and eating a bag of toenails in a car. Her mother teleports in the car.
Mother
(surprised)
Stacey, what did I tell you about stealing my snacks!
Stacey
(embarassed)
That once I start making friends I can have some toenails..
Mother
(firm)
Yes, exactly! Now look there’s a group of people over there, why don’t you introduce yourself to them?
Stacey’s mom points to the offscreen group, and pushes Stacey onto the gravel road, driving away.
Stacey shyly follows the group at a safe distance throughout the whole time, marveling at their sleek blonde hair and long legs.
Finally she musters up the courage to talk to them at the cafeteria.
Stacey barges into the conversation.
Stacey
(awkward)
H-hi, my name’s Stacey and do you want to be my friend?
The cool girls look at each other, and whisper amongst each other.
Cool Girl 1
(leans in)
Listen we just don’t want to rush it or anything, the last two people who came up to us and said that spontaneously combusted into flames, and it was just like- really EMBARASSING for us, right sisters?
Cool Girl 2
Oh, word.
Cool Girl 3
Like, yeah.
Cool Girl 1
So like, we could hang out with you I guess, if you don’t embarrass us or anything.
(FLASHBACK)
The living room of a suburban house. Baby Stacey is writing down complex mathematical equations when suddenly her mom barges in drunk with a man.
Unknown Man
(repulsive)
What the fuck, you didn’t tell me you had a kid?
Mother
(slurring her words)
It’s okay, I usually just put her in the fridge when I do this, here help me.
Cut to when they are hooking up. The unknown man is mimicking car engine sounds while giving it to Stacey’s mom. Baby Stacey in the fridge, mimicks animal sounds in delight.
(END OF FLASHBACK)
Stacey is estatic. She jumps up and down and screeches with joy. She starts crying tears of joy and is mimicking animal cries.
Throughout all of Stacey’s time with the cool girls, she swoons with delight, until they go to the Transformers store. She sees Optimus Prime and pukes all over the cashier.
Cool Girl 2
Oh my god, slay queen.
Cool Girl 3
I think I like you more than Cool Girl 1 now.
Cool Girl 1
No, no you don’t.
Stacey
(wiping her mouth with the sleeve of her hoodie)
I don’t know, I think there’s a new Cool Girl 1 in town now.
The other Cool Girls stand by Stacey and Cool Girl 1 looks on jealous.
It culminates in the cafeteria where Cool Girl 1 hits her breaking point.
Cool Girl 1
(mad)
No fuck you, you smell like ass and you have clamhydia!
Stacey is livid. She turns into a dinosaur and eats (former) Cool Girl 1. The whole cafeteria claps and cheers Stacey on as she continues to hurl tables and eat people.
Stacey’s mom’s car crashes into the cafeteria.
Mother
(booming with pride)
Oh my god, Stacey, I am so proud of you. I knew pushing out of the car was the right thing to do. Have ALL the toenails you want.
The mother throws bag after bag of toenails onto Stacey who roars with delight.
A montage plays of her winning the Nobel Peace Prize, being sworn into President at age 10, and being awarded the Academy Award for best Picture. Stacey is named skinniest legend by George Washington and saves the world from climate change.
