Well, it looks like it's May 21st, 2011 and the rapture didn't happen. It looks like all those people who organized things so they would be left with exactly $0.00 by today are S.O.L. Yeesh. I mean really, what do you do at that point? READ MORE

How To Hate Your Peers


By Gossip Nugget
May 13, 2011 - 6:41pm

Do you ever just hate people?
Are you ever forced to sit in a room for two hours with someone you hate?
Do you have a naturally friendly disposition but a certain idiot in you class brings out the worst in you? Yes, me too.

Dealing with people that make you hate more than you ever thought possible is part of being a collaborative team player in school. It suuucks because you're not exactly working with them (then you're at least getting paid) and you're definitely not hanging out as friends (because they suck)... So, do you have to be polite?  I say no. READ MORE

Ladies. Today something happened that I believe needs to be used as a cautionary tale. I just want ya'll to be prepared.
Today during a bathroom break at work, my world collapsed all around me. You see, I was wearing one of my favorite black dresses. It's a bit short, but multi-layered and "ok over a pair of tights". While in the bathroom, a long black string coming from somewhere beckoned me to pull it. What else was I going to do?

I hadn't been to the Frye Art Museum since high school. A few weekends back, I took the trip up to First Hill to visit the museum, and I'm glad I did! Perhaps I had forgotten its greatness, but I need to inform y'all that if you haven't been to the Frye yet, you should because it rules. If you're looking for a nice *FREE* (yes it's free, but you should definitely donate!) daytime activity, it's a great place to go. When I went, I was able to view the two current exhibitions: Tête-à-tête and the Degenerate Art Ensemble.

"Death is the farthest away from what we are, and when it comes so close, and we realize how close such an opposite can be, it is the most terrifying confusing thing on the planet."  - L. Horwitz Loss is one of the most difficult things to deal with in life. It never gets easier and it is always hard, but what happens when you lose someone while in the pressured world of higher education? READ MORE

The Iowa Professor: What do you think?

By now, I'm sure most of us are familiar with Ellen Lewis, the Iowa professor who, when a message titled "Conservative Coming Out Week" popped up in her mailbox, hit reply-all and typed in "F$#% YOU REPUBLICANS!" 
While the title of the event was offensive in itself, poking fun at the LGBT population, the body of the message described events and cracked jokes surrounding animal rights and the workers in Wisconsin. Classy.
She ended up apologizing, but did point out the terrible choices the group made for the event.

If there's one thing I love, it's web tools to make me not such a bad student. I'm sure you could tell by my post a few weeks ago about TrackClass, no?
College Candy, I feel, is finally on my level! They recently published a list of The 10 Sites That Will Get You an A in School and oh boy I believe it will!
