What I’ve Learned in College, Pt. I

I’m starting another series because I’m learning everyday. (It’s not that cheesy.)

  • People in college are WEIRD and CRAZY.
  • Frat parties are kind of gross, but kind of fun, but not because they’re gross.
  • Yellow legal pads are really cool.
  • Yes, you will get tired of dorm food, no matter how good it might be.
  • If on the first day of class you think a professor’s teaching style is not effective, drop the class (AKA programming because simply showing me the textbook via slides on an overhead is not conducive to me learning C++ despite how tech-savvy I think I am). Your gut feeling is usually right. 
  • PEOPLE ARE WEIRD. AND CRAZY. 
  • And some people are really, really, really amazing. 

I aim to please

 

Do people enjoy blogs with photos more? “A picture says a thousand words”… for the terribly lazy minded, in my opinion–the ability to weave words together to paint that photo is more impressive. Anyway, I’m kind of lazy sometimes too but not too lazy to wish everyone Happy International Year of the Potato declared by my favorite organization, the United Nations! Where would you get all the cool news otherwise, right?  

Here’s hoping Pt. IV

Okay, this will be my last of the series because now that McCain is the official Republican nominee, I’ve diverted my attention (until Pennsylvania, at least). Anyway, the Children’s Defense Fund Action Council published their 2007 Nonpartisan Congressional Scorecard, scoring members of congress on how they voted on 10 bills for children. Check out Mr. McCain. Here’s hoping anyone who’s considering Clinton or Obama will not be deluded come November and vote for McCain because their preferential candidate didn’t get the nomination. *Here’s the PDF if you were wondering what bills they based the score on.
