For what might be the first time all summer I have the house to myself. I'm sure within the next forty-five minutes (hell, who am I kidding, half an hour) my family will come crashing through the door, as quiet and peaceful as a herd of stomping elephants. In other words, the clock is ticking ( Read more... )

I saved a life today. No, not while lifeguarding, though that is what I would assume if I weren't me, but instead while driving home. There was this poor, pitiful creature in the middle of the road that looked totally terrified as cars whizzed by him, barely avoiding his body. My heart went out to the little thing and I quickly pulled over to ( Read more... )

I have finished my freshman year at college. I’m a sophomore. It’s weird stuff, really. I still remember hating college and wishing to come back to community school, thinking that I would never like it there as much as I liked being at home. Obviously I was naive and stupid, because I did learn to love Wake, it just took some time. Ah, ( Read more... )

I would much rather be updating about how my roommate and I got drunk last night after drinking a little too much wine while watching "Steel Magnolias", hand-cuffed ourselves together and walked over to her sorority's halls like that before coming back to our dorm and watching some very interesting videos with our hallmates, but instead I have to ( Read more... )

I am:
9%
Republican."You're a complete liberal, utterly without a trace of Republicanism. Your strength is as the strength of ten because your heart is pure. (You hope.)"

Are You A Republican?

Yeah, well...

Also, finals are killing me not so softly.

The above title is something my friend Larissa likes to say a lot. I totally sympathize because my life is the definition of awkward. Here are a few, new and fairly recent, reasons why ( Read more... )
