These things get under my skin


I’m Oli, I’m 24 and currently live in Leeds. I am originally from a place called Rossendale in the countryside, kinda. I originally got tumblr as a place to vent my hatred, through forms of rants but my page has changed quite a lot. I now use it to complain but also document my lifting progress at the gym, post spiels about recent events and talk about gaming. I do not reblog things constantly, I do not talk about sex and I do not pretend to like certain bands, tv programmes or artists to fit in. I am described as a lot of people as a cunt, a prick and an emotionless human, but this is not true. Most of what I say is sarcastic, I do not go out of my way to hurt anyone and it is never my aim. I like to argue, I like to debate and I am confrontational. I am not a keyboard warrior as I do this in person too. If you don’t like complaining, rants or blogs that do not reblog stupid shit with no personal input then do not follow me. Oh, lastly, I fucking HATE this website and 99% of it’s users. I simply use it for it’s functionality and the aforementioned reasons. >

I often wonder if people in my generation know how lucky they are

Myself included. It is a complete miracle that we are born. Like, the chances that we are going to be the one sperm that reaches the egg, is unfathomable. We are lucky to be born into westernised countries where poverty, although exists, is not quite as serious or harmful to health as it is in a lot of countries.  Yet we somehow get off on complaining about every single aspect of our life regardless of the aforementioned and the fact that so many people have things so much worst than we do.

I am guilty of this too, to an extent. I don’t often complain about my life, rather about how other people live theirs ,but sometimes I am guilty of it. Like today, I have been pretty pissed off about having to move back home due to having no money. Today I have been speaking to so many friends about the amount of loans they receive. most of them receiving £1300-1400 loan and £900-999 grant every time we receive loans and all the time I have been jealous because all I receive is £1500-1550 and after paying rent, bills and gym it leaves me with fuck all, hence why I am home now and not living in Leeds.

I wish I could just shrug it off and say whatever, people have it worse.. but.. it really seems that nobody I know who goes to uni has been fucked over worse than me by student finance. It really does seem that way. I think their system is beyond a joke and I’m about to write a letter to them tomorrow for a full explanation of it all.

My life is good in general but constant bank charges, lack of student finance support and a whole host of fucked up situations have left me completely fucked.
