Call me “Station 4”
In the local office network, that’s what I am identified as. “Station 4.” Everyone else go by some sappy and specific name like Niza or Gen or Gelo or Van. But if you want me, look for “Station 4.”

THEY SAY (stress on “they”) that as it is hard to get into U.P., it is also hard to get booted out. As a result, a lot of people actually overstay, shift courses too many times, and take up seven & plus-plus years just to finish BA Something.
I think I might have fallen into this pattern, me being the institution, not the overstayer. Because really, it is hard to become my friend. And those who become my friends, I value a lot. But perhaps it’s about time that I reevaluate some people.

We are all suckers for drama. Really, we all are. We are big fans of paranoia, self-induced suffering and unfounded humility. We sell ourselves short.
Because too often, it is just too damn hard and painful to feel worthy.
(And then there are those who suffer from the opposite, and to these people: i am not making you my problem anymore.)
