why are they the way they are

Here I am, studying away with my friend in the boarding house common room while a bunch of the other international boarders are singing/shouting to the "classic" songs. (By classic I mean like Taylor Swift songs, fucking.. price tag or something) (Most of these boarders have been here for like 6 years)

I've been here for 9 months. One thing I've been contemplating (I contemplate on a lot of things), is why they act the way they act. When I was mentally complaining about their noise just now, I had an epiphany. Well, as international boarders, they've all experienced the period of trying-to-blend-in, and knowing all the words to the "classic" songs would be a good first step to blend in.

I've also contemplated on why it's very difficult to blend in with international boarders. (Even harder than day students). Even though we're all in the UK, they're from all over the world. They have their own cultures. It would be easier to blend in with the UK students because I know what their culture is like and they're consistent, I guess. Whereas, the international boarders have their own culture they've developed after living together for 6 years.

I'm actually gonna stop there because I hate thinking about this honestly. Idk. I- I dont know. I have extremely mixed feelings on this. Like very mixed.
