we are the only exception

| |

Having a hundred red crayons and just one blue one does not mean it cease to exist. Though a minority, insignificant and pale in comparison to the other hundred it DOES count. Being able to generalize a group of subjects furthermore achieving external validity applies when it comes to research and other related procedures, but in reality the abnormals are most definitely taken into account. In fact, Mr/Mr Minoritys' are sometimes those that are of the most value, I mean.. Just because they lack in quantity does not mean they amount to any less than the congregation. Exceptions, they are called. They aren't bad, they're just different. 

The actual purpose of this post is to address an issue that has been lingering in my mind for quite a bit now, its regarding the perceptions that outsiders have of students from Taylor's. When you think Taylor's, somehow the name itself is associated to rich kids who don't give two hoots about their education but are present at such a prestigious college because mummy and daddy stuck it out to provide their utmost best for their kid. I won't deny that there are indeed cases of this sort but as I've mentioned, exceptions. 

I am proud to be a Taylorian, of a college that may have exceptionally high charging rates but deliver in the department of facilities/lecturers/systems. That being said, there are exceptions to that too *LOL*. See they're everywhere, in just about everything.

I speak on behalf of those who aren't in the above mentioned category, those who constantly strive for success to obtain the grades they rightfully deserve/those who worry about their folks' pockets being dried up one day due to education funds/those who have decided to not be conformed to the ways of the world/those who spend hours at the library not to sleep or loiter of any sort/those who believe in making their years at college one that will propel them to greater heights in the future/those who are of the exception. Not the entire Taylor's body consists of spoilt brats, so cut the stereotyping and be done away with it.

To: guy with black t-shirt and guy with green shirt at the WM bus stop on 13th of June,  3ish. Thanks for giving me the urge to write this but really, quit it.
