I've already written about hating Sundays, but here's a less whiny list of other things I hate. I hate moving. I move twice a year - out of one dorm, into another and other places in between. If it weren't for my folding dolly, I don't think I would make it. However, moving does teach you who your true friends are. But I'd rather find other ways of discovering my true friends that doesn't end up bruising me quite so much. I hate speed bumps. Especially when I have to pee. Then, it...

Before I get struck down by God, or conservatives, allow me to explain the title of this article. I am in a long-distance relationship, as anyone who's read my blog lately knows. This weekend was our six-month anniversary and we had a great time. We had to go to two graduations, but there were so many of our friends graduating that we really needed to go. He went out last night to party with some of his friends while I stayed in my dorm on duty. He came in at 4am, very tired. He crawl...

Grant and I have been dating for six months now and I am stumped on what to do. He's going to come see me tonight and he promised to take me out to dinner with his poker winnings. I want to do something for him, but I have no idea what. I thought about cooking him dessert, but he doesn't have much of a sweet-tooth. He likes my pecan pie, but he's had that too many times before. Flowers are too girly, and stuffed animals are dumb too. I need help! What do I do? He's hard to shop fo...

I had two choices of articles when I picked this title. The first was a politically directed rant about war. The second was a place asking for people's favorite quotes. I'm going for option two. (Ten bonus points if you notice the trend) "Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup." Human beings are the only creatures that allow their children to come back home. Bill Cosby Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memor...

I may lose my job for doing my job. That's just how it goes. I can't give many details, but here's what I can tell you. I work with college freshmen girls as their "dorm mom" of sorts. Today, most of them are moving out. They are sophomores now, and I am so proud of them. Well, most of them. I've had problems with this one girl all year. She thinks I "have it out" for her. Or at least that's what her father told my boss when I charged her $100 for damages done to her room. I h...

Do you ever get the urge to do something, anything? You feel like you should get up and dance, run in the rain, drive all night, spend waaay to much money on something stupid... anything manic will do. Maybe it's pre-finals stress. Maybe it's because I haven't seen a human being for the last 24 hours. Maybe because I finally feel a little better. Maybe because I don't have a car right now and I can't go anywhere. But I have that itch. I want to go do something crazy. Instead, I'll...

I work with college freshmen girls. I have fifty for whom I am responsible. Most of them are witty, funny, confident and smart. They know what they want out of life and are working hard to get it. The problem? They fall apart because of boys. Either the boy doesn't like them, the boy broke up with them, the boy doesn't like what they are doing, or they just can't get a boy. I've seen them morph themselves into Barbie dolls to go to the gym (a two hour beauty prep is required for one gi...

My childhood died this year. I thought I was an adult, I really did. I mean, legally I was already an adult. My parents didn't give me a curfew. I could buy beer, smoke, vote, everything an adult could do. The thing is, I was still a kid, on the inside. That is, until this year. I can narrow it down to two weeks in March, the weeks my childhood died. It all started with my teddy bear. I've had this bear since I was two years old, and I still slept with it. Then I discovered that...

Yeah, that's right, I'm back. I'm not sure why, but I've missed writing. And I've missed some of the people on here. A lot has been going on. Since my last article my senior year has come and gone. I should be graduating, but one of the side effects to changing your major so often is that you have to spend extra time in college. That's quite all right though, I wasn't really ready to enter the real world anyway. I recently had a car accident on my way to Jonesboro. I glare at ever...

I know it isn't playing in theaters anymore, but you can still do most of these while watching the movies with someone who is obsessed with LotR... like during a LotR Extend-a-thon... not that I've ever had one of those... *hurries on before anyone realizes I'm lying* 1. Stand up halfway through the movie and yell loudly, "Wait...where the #&$* is Harry Potter?" 2. Block the entrance to the theater while screaming: "YOU.....SHALL NOT..... PASS!" 3. Play a drinking game whe...

"Thank you for choosig T*** B***. May I take your order?" I ask, pressing the button labeled 'A' to talk to the customer outside. "I'd like a mucho grande nacho with a large Pepsi, four soft-taco supremes, one beef enchirito, and four chalupas." I listen closely, pushing the buttons on the screen in front of me as fast as the person speaks. 'Does anyone really know what time it is? Does anyone really care?' Not again. That song has been stuck in my head all day! If I start singin...

APPLES AND WINE Women are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they just take the rotten apples from the ground, that aren't as good, but easy . . . . . . The apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're amazing. They just have to wait for the right man to come along, the one who's brave enough to ...
