I would ship you all to the North Pole if I could.


Lack of individuality? Obsession with fitting in? Reticence to actually looking different? Phobia of wearing something with style? Those are the only possible answers I have come up with in regards to the stupidest trend to hit US college students since the Nalgene (those things aren't even confortable to drink out of). I'm talking about those ugly felt North Face jackets. OK, I admit, they're not that ugly. However, when EVERYONE has one, it kindof becomes ridiculous. You might be thinking, yeah but, Ed, you go to school in Spain so you don't see any Americans. Wrong. Lucky for my campus, we get a new shipment every semester of those lame fucks that we euphemistically call "Visiting Students." They spend every night at the Irish pubs with fellowAmericans, all clad in their North Face jackets, jeans and hideous sneakers. Then they have the audacity to claim that Madrid isn't very European. Well maybe if you came abroad to actually meet people other than Americans you would realize that you are indeed in Europe. How about trying a sandwich other than turkey, cheese and lettuce. I actually heard a girl say the other day that she's afraid to try an "empanada". It's basically like a fucking hot pocket, you slut. Anyways, back to what I was getting at. Americans, you have no style. Leave the Ugg boots at home with your North Face, stop dressing yourselves based on fellow college students' attire, because they are poor, just like you, and have awful taste. Can't afford real style. Also, when you wake up in the morning, do us all a favor and shower, comb your hair and try to pretend that you actually care what you look like when you go to class. That's one upside of living in Europe. People actually go to class looking nice, they care. They look good. They feel good. They aren't afraid to try an empanada. You all look the same. You're boring, mono-lingual. And let me just beg one more thing, it's really not cool to claim how DrUnK you're going to get tonight. Get over it. You live in Spain where the drinking age basically doesn't exist. Drinking doesn't make you cool and your North Face makes you look like a fool.
