Here I am, sitting at work during my 5am-9am shift attempting to write my bio paper on the effects of sleep deprivation on hormones and behavior. Can this situation be anymore ironic?

Instead of doing that, I began chatting with some friends about a FB post someone left. Why are most LA Asian girls dumb?

Although I’d never admit it nor word it like that, I do see where this question is coming from. This leads me to my next thought: the difference between West Coast and East Coast.

In no way do I consider myself a “dumb” person. (I’m an LA girl through and through) but have definitely felt less intelligent than my East Coast counterparts. What is that?! A couple of friends and I have discussed that West Coast humor is more vulgar and plain stupid compared to sarcastic humor from the East Coast. Does this apply to general thought process too?

It’s not like I’m any less well read or well educated than my East Coast counterparts. I couldn’t agree more that West Coast people are more “chill” or “laidback” than East Coast people but do we also suffer the consequences of sounding “dumb” in exchange?

I’m jealous of my seemingly more intelligent sounding East Coast counterparts. Our thoughts just seem to run differently. WHY?! SOMEONE HELP ME FIGURE THIS OUT?
