It’s now the
Jan 17th
middle of January and it hasn’t snowed – at least since I’ve been here – since December 12th or thereabouts. WHAT IS HAPPENING?!?!?!? I came to a school in the Midwest for one of several reasons. One of those reasons was because it’s supposed to actually snow during the winter. I didn’t come here to be cold without snow falling. While trying to procrastinate on this post, I just checked the weather and WeatherBug reports “flurries.” Flurries are like the snow equivalent to drizzle. Well, all I know is that I’m going to be flurried if it doesn’t snow here soon.
My fellow Californians might be curious as to why I want it to snow so badly. I stated the reason for that above in brief, but I’ll expand upon it here in more detail. Living in California has given me weather tunnel vision, if one could call it that, which blinded me from the knowledge of what it’s like to live in freezing cold temperatures and snow. Well, no longer. Since being at school here for over four months, I have developed a pretty good idea of what it feels like to live in sub-freezing temperatures, snow, and ice. For the most part it would suck 100% if you live here or More >
Some Things I’ve Noticed In College…
Sep 19th
OK, so I’ve been here for, like, a month I guess and I would like to point out some things that are different in college than in regular high school or grade school life. I’ll list them with numbers so you kiddies can keep track of how many things I’ve listed. Alright, here it goes (and keep your grubby hands off of this):
- On week nights, I usually stay up until 12–1 AM whereas in high school I would go to bed at around 10–10:30. I guess it’s partly becuase my mom isn’t yelling at me to go to bed. The other part is that none of my classes start at 7:15 in the morning. I can afford to stay up later becuase most of my classes start at, like, 8:45 and 10:45 so I can use those delayed class times to sleep in an extra hour or two, or three. The weekends usually include sleep time at 2–3 AM. On the computer more.
- I get to eat a real breakfast. Back in high school, I got up so early to get ready and drive to school that I really didn’t have time to eat a good breakfast. Not so here in college. I can get breakfast from, I think it’s 7–10:30 so I usually go half an hour before my More >
Things that piss me off… a lot. Part I
Aug 24th
OK, so this is actually the first real post I’ve ever made, so be nice. Things that piss me off… a lot. At the top of this list is people who post pictures on social networking web sites (Facebook, PornSpace [I have it from a good source this is true], etc…) that contain references to alcohol when the participating parties are under the age of 21. If CBS didn’t censor Dr. Phil, I’m sure he would say (his famous line, uncensored): WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING?!?!?! (With the explanation and question marks) There are several reasons why these types of pictures piss me off.
- There is an intimate possibility that an employer will come across this picture and not hire you. Let me give you a word of advice my beer picture-posting friends (just a figure of speech. I don’t actually have any): employers want someone who is a well-rounded person, someone who can communicate well, someone who is a good leader, someone who can work well in a group setting, someone who makes good choices, and most importantly; someone they can trust. The last two points are described in more detail in number 2.
- When you post a picture of yourself or someone else holding a red Solo cup, a beer can, liquor bottle, or a case of beer, this More >
