Violet Rays

College has less freedom, not more. I can’t choose what I want to eat everyday. I don’t have my own car so I have to depend on the MARTA or other people. I can’t just chill and blast music in my room whenever I want to. I can’t go to sleep whenever I want to without having to put my iPod in to block noise. It’s hard to be myself when I’m surrounded by the mainstream who constantly downcasts anyone who is different especially anyone socio-economically different. I feel more caged here than I do when I’m at home.

Love,

Leira Violet
