Imagine in 20 years when your son comes from...
Son: Mum, I got detention.
Me: OMG, what did you do?
Son: I hit a kid.
Me: Well you know that will cost you a month without internet.
Son: But that kid said Harry Potter sucks.
Me: COME IN HERE MY BOY, YOU MADE ME SO PROUD. I KNOW I'VE RAISED YOU WELL HEDWIG CROOKSHANKS.

phiLOLZophy: What Your Bookshelf Says About You →
philolzophy:
I. Your bookshelf has mostly fiction books. A) Classic literature. You’re smart, reflective, and well-rounded. You don’t read gossip magazines and you appreciate the finer things in life. You don’t need someone to tell you what the finer things in life are. You’re also relatively joyless,…

Classes start on Monday
Physically, I am ready. I have my tuition paid for and my textbooks all in a pile. I have clothes to wear and paper to write one. If school started right this second, I’d be ready.
Mentally ready, I am not. I am exhausted. Summer classes ended for me last Monday and they were kind of brutal. Imagine doing a whole semester’s worth of studying/essays/readings in five weeks. It was torture. And to...

That awkward moment when you go textbook shopping...
I hate college textbooks…wait, let me rephrase that, I hate textbooks PRICES! I normally love getting new books, but not when it comes to textbooks for classes. I could have the most amazing shopping spree at Hastings with all the money that goes into purchasing textbooks. And I feel so exploited after buying them, like I’m being ripped off. And I know there are cheaper methods of...

Does anyone use PaperBackSwap?

Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul
Etc.
For those that don’t know what PaperBackSwap is, it’s a site where you post books you don’t really want and you request books you want from other members. It’s kind of the...

So, my fall schedule is pretty much perfect.
And I’m looking forward to starting classes on Monday.
I’m taking:
Government
Botany
World Literature
News Publications
Creative Writing
Computer Applications
Okay, so I’m not so excited about my government class because I had no other choice but to take it with a professor who’s ancient and has the power to put students to sleep with his voice, but other than that I’m good. I think...

Not one teacher has caused me so many headaches as...
She’s actually a professor, but I don’t think she deserves that title.
Why do I dislike her so much? She assigns a pile of homework as tall as Mt. Everest every single day. Do I look like I have nothing better to do? She emails aid for homework two hours before it’s due! This is no joke! How the hell is that supposed to help me now? I turned that shit in two days ago?!...

I'm bothered
snazzandpizzazz:
I’m bothered that literature is dying. I’m bothered that most of us would rather waste time watching some reality show than reading. I’m bothered that the very thing that makes us civilized, language, the written language, to be more specific is becoming less important. What’s wrong with people? Is a little thought a little too much now?
