Been up all night monitoring the EU referendum. Basically it goes like this.
All my politics friends are predicting it’s a loss for Remain. The BBC has declared it too. There aren’t enough areas left that haven’t yet declared their position to claw back the difference between the lead Leave has on Remain. It’s now all a matter of principle, finding how and which areas are voting based on their political demographics. It’s also a matter of seeing how badly we’re going to lose.
So as an international student on interesting visa matters, my future here after my studies is uncertain.

Why would your future there be uncertain?

I’m an immigrant. The Leave side don’t want immigrants. Says it all really.

Except two things: you’re on there by a visa and referendums won’t go through for 3-4years.

But I’m not. That’s the thing. I’m a special case wrapped up neatly in red tape. I’m here as an immigrant but I didn’t need a visa.

Ok, still three to four years for referendums. You're overreacting.

Really? I’m not panicking. I’m just being reasonable and concerned for my parents’ worry.

What's your home country?

It will be several years until you have to worry.

I know that. But that’s easy for someone to say who’s not in the middle of all this.

Hong Kong, but with multiple nationalities.

Do you? Do you REALLY know that?

Also, did you know that your pre-edited response stays in my notifications tab?

Dude, don’t be a prick. My parents and I have sacrificed so much for me to move 6000 miles across the world for me to live independently without virtually any support from either my institution of education and my parents. So forgive me and my parents if we both feel a little apprehensive and wary.

Yes I do. I’ve been awake for 24 hours and have been campaigning for multiple referendums in the past few weeks and have lost all. So yes, my responses will be garbled, emotional and incomplete.

First of all, I'm not being a prick. Secondly, relax; all I've been doing was trying to calm your nerves.

If you have money, just buy your way in. That’s the way it works for many in NA and across the pond.
