Oh, dear GOD, I got a C+ in News Reporting! A C+! I know you're like, why are you acting like it's an A? I was TERRIFIED I was going to get a D just because I'm paranoid like that, and if I get below a C- in a journalism class, I have to take it over again, and I dreaded this class every day, it was the bane of my existence for four months, and if ( Read more... )

( I'm in one of those moods, one of those late-night reflections, so go with it. )

So you know when you reach that point in your life when you've just got to let go of all that baggage weighing you down and stop hating someone for something they did in the past ( Read more... )

I was talking to Karlie just now, trying to hammer out her guy-situation. I'm really the last person anyone should ever discuss their guy-situations with, unless it's about how you're a loser in love, then, hey! I'm all about it. But I think I finally began to understand something tonight ( Read more... )

I signed the lease for the apartment today. Made out a check for $400 for the security deposit. I've gotta admit, writing out a check that big made me throw up in my mouth a little.

So, sometimes I write. Yes, it happens. Never anything much, just this random shit that pops into my head. And I compile it in one document over time, writing down these snippets that came to me over the past year or so. I read back on them, and some of them...most of them are complete crap. But sometimes I find little gems that could still use ( Read more... )

"Love. It's not something you decide to feel. It's not like, 'Oh, he's cute. I'm gonna like him.' It just happens. One day you'll see him. You've probably seen him many times before, but for some reason, this time is different; there's something there, something that you never realized before. You can't take your eyes off him, and you start to get ( Read more... )

It's been a bizarre day. A beyond bizarre couple of weeks, really.

A little before noon today, a 23-year-old former Carolina student in a silver Jeep Cherokee drove onto North campus, circled the Lenoir dining hall and plowed through a crowd of students before driving off. Intentionally. He actually swerved to hit students. Nine people were ( Read more... )
