Drip Aint Drip If Its Ugly

It’s a rainy and gloomy day and Jake is walking back from calculus class with the kid he pretends to be friends with just to copy his MathLab homework. When all of a sudden, an Audi R8 drives by and splashes his Bred 1s, a shoe that costs his whole summer paycheck at that camp he worked at. Jake couldn’t see who the culprit was because of the tinted windows, but he already guessed that it was one of the international students. This isn’t the first time Jake’s been flexed on and embarrassed by an international student. He tries to make friends with them, but can’t- the lack of drip and funds are holding him back.

When he gets to the dining hall to meet his friends from high school (because Jake attends a state school obviously), his friend Nate, wearing his champion sweatpants, college hoodie, and Roshe Runs, waves at him to join his table. As he walks over, he realizes that he’ll never have a swaggy Off-White wearing clique like an international student.

To narrow it down a little further, when referring to international students, I’m talking about the Chinese students. These students are most often children of millionaires, wealthy businessmen, and factory owners. They come to the United States with daddy’s credit card and are ready to max it out Barneys New York on Guiseppe Zanotti and other gaudy designer brands that are hype at the moment.

But that’s the issue. These kids have an unlimited budget and yet still end up looking like a blacked-out Bozo The Clown. Is money the problem as to why a lot of these kids dress like trash? Don’t get me wrong, a lot them pull off nice fits, but others get caught up in the hype and end up buying Neil Barrett's lightning sweater with Thom Browne sweatpants. How do you find the middle ground between eccentric and basic trash? Because your CDG Play converses are as bad as the Louboutin sneakers with the spikes on them.

Jake has his eyes set on an international student in his morning Sociology recitation. Her English name is Apple. Jake admires her drip every morning as she comes to class 25 minutes late. Every morning, Apple comes to class with her green Goyard bag and sits next to Jake. He tries to make a conversation with her, but she ignores him as she audio-messages her boyfriend. He tries to compliment her, but she awkwardly smiles and goes back on her phone. In order to grab her attention, Jake resolves to save up for a sweet pair of Triple S’, but by the time next semester came, they were out of style and Jake spent all of his allowance on a Roblox shoe to impress a girl he never had a shot to begin with.

Whether it bothers you or not, the number of international students will only go higher as colleges are increasing tuition, making it harder for US students to pay that price tag, and allowing more room for international students.

Get your money up not your funny up.
