Shooting the Shit
I went to a get together on Sunday evening with a few friends and acquaintances from high school to celebrate finishing our first quarter/semester in college. Unsurprisingly, I suppose, many people were eager to talk about those countless wild nights having flown from the coop and landing in this previously inconceivable freedom, far away from parental supervision. Of my own accord, I have no...

The Zombies “This Will Be Our Year”
Mom (on the phone): Where are you? It’s past midnight, you need to come home.
Annie: I’m hanging out in the Vons parking lot with Alyssa and Jasmin, we came here after Kelly’s party and we’re just talking.
Mom: I do not approve of young girls walking the streets at night!
Annie: We’re in a car.

“Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit: As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.”

Christmastime conquests
I tend to be really easy to shop for - you’ve got me covered with Burt’s Bees products, eco-friendly goods, crafting supplies, or donations to my favorite charities (Invisible Children, St. Kizito Children Foundation). I much prefer giving gifts to getting them anyway, and that has never been truer than during this current holiday season. I am thrilled about my purchases/handmade items...
Tonight, my technique revolved around inquiry
Annie: How was your last final?
Albert: It went ohkay.
Annie: What was it on?
Albert: It was for my philosophy class, on ethics and morals.
Annie: Ohh... so you didn't do too well, did you?

Kamilah: I sleep in way too late during break! Once I slept in until 3pm the next day!
Annie: What time did you go to bed?!
Kamilah: I was up until 6am.
Annie: What could you possibly be doing until then?
Kamilah: I don't know, reading random blogs. Being entrepreneurial.
Jasmin: Building her porn empire.
Annie: So, you mean entreporneurial?
Jokes for active learners
magicmolly:
I’m convinced that people with an excellent sense of humor have internalized a number of maneuvers that allow them to turn anything into funny material. Their brain contains a “funny” function where x goes in, undergoes a process, and comes out x + funny.
I will try to figure out what these maneuvers are and publish them.

This is crazy cute!
Masochism/Mastication
Since my cousin is a dentist, it was really easy for me to decide to get my wisdom teeth extracted yesterday afternoon on the fly. No one does that “just cuz,” but I guess it was a good way to celebrate ending finals, AMIRIGHT?! Unfortunately, he could only take out my top right (my top and bottom left were extracted this past summer), because the bottom right is growing freaking...

The Week Before Finals
harrypotterismyhero:
T’was the week before finals, when all through the school Not a student was sleeping, not even a jock-fool; Textbooks were sprawled across tables with care, In hopes that grades would be fair; The undergraduates were holed up in their study rooms, While nightmares of Scantrons and #2 pencils loom.
Someth-in's amiss.
I have been gaining an inordinate amount of followers lately, very much disproportionate to the infrequency of my blogging. Am I to infer that I am only valuable to the Tumblr world when I remain offline?
In any case, thank you to my recent followers! Bear with me as I trudge through the last week of my first quarter in cawledge. Upcoming finals: Calculus on Tuesday, and Statistics and General...
