and the only reason I post these is because they have all been said to me.... lol

 

"where are you going for break?"  "well, Im not sure yet..."  "Oh yeah that's right your homeless!" 

 

"do you live in the Jungle?" - Trust me we dont all live there. 

 

"you really dont belong anywhere" 

 

"you really need to learn to adapt to the AMERICAN culture" - (you try growing up over-seas, its not as easy as you think)
