Optimism is stupid
Have you ever called someone negative or pessimistic or the opposite,optimistic. In our society I feel like being optimistic is viewed as a good thing or a good trait to have. I like to think of myself as an optimist, but I don’t think it is a good trait. Optimists like to look at the glass half full and look for the positives in life, even in bad situations. But let’s be honest, our...

Dumb Politicians Come From Dumb Citizens
I can honestly say that being a politician is clearly a job that any high school graduate is capable of. I say this because our country has had so many idiots holding positions in government. Of course there are the obvious dumb asses such as Bush and Palin whom I thought were the worse of the worst. I also believed that a person with a level of that stupidity would not be in office or be...

Winter Break
You are possibly the worst tease. Every college student looks forward to you after their brief trip home for thanksgiving and the strenuous week we are slaves to textbooks and the library also known as finals week. We can’t wait to finally sleep in and have a time where we can honestly relax. Then we get home and realize why we left our hometowns to go to school for 4 years. Home sucks. You...

Ode to the fake ID
I was bored waiting to go out for the first time legally…its a joke don’t judge
We’ve been together since the day before I left home
You were my friend that never left me alone
When I walked to the ghetto or went to P&C
You were all ways in my pocket, always there for me
You were a giver, helping my friends too
You bought me things that helped me get through school
But I no longer...

Drug Tests are BULLSHIT!!
So as my senior year comes closer, so does the time when I must enter the real world, meaning the time to apply to jobs is approaching. Now that is a scary thought for me and all of my fellow classmates. But for more than half of the class of 2011 there’s another scary thought that approaches, DRUG TESTS. These days, most jobs require drug test; from working at a clothing store to a...

Food for Thought
…well, it should be titled food for memories. Yesterday I visited the town that my parents and siblings and most of my family had grown up in, including me until I was 5. I spent all of my summers there and I usually stop by there now just to eat as I drive past. Unfortunately none of my family lives there anymore and so yesterday was the first time I walked through it to so I could pick...

Apparently I need rehab...?
So this semester a lot of people have been commenting on my alcohol consumption and how they seem to think I’m an alcoholic. I don’t agree with these accusations but they don’t really bother me. I know I’m not addicted to liquor because if I was I would be drinking some right now (which I would rather be doing than studying for my final). I’ve gone plenty of weekends...

DPS and Probates
So it’s probate time again and the frats and sororities are starting to show their pledges to the public. So far this semester I’ve been to two probates, and both times DPS shows up. For the first one I went to, DPS just waited in the back and didn’t really say anything to anyone. I can respect that, and I’m guessing that those DPS officers had some idea of what was going...

Hectic Ass Year
So I’m sitting at home procrastinating OD and I’m thinking about how crazy my year has been in good and bad ways.
Temporarily lost a friend - dealt with peoples problems - got friend back - dealt with more people’s problems - worked my ass of to increase my gpa by a full point - hated summer classes - decided to change the course of my life - found a major - lost some friends...

Answer the Fucking Question
I hate when people you’re talking about a movie with someone and they mention a movie that you don’t know. That’s fine and all because I love hearing about movies I don’t know about and may potentially want to see. The problem occurs when you ask what the movie is about, and they answer you by telling you the actors or the directors. I’m sorry, but I didn’t ask...

The Mexican In Me...
has been coming out a lot lately, especially in the last two days. Last night I was at a friends house singing Kumbia Kings like it was my anthem and we almost put on mariachi music. Normally that wouldn’t be bad cuz if I’m in the right mood I can listen to my mexican music for hours without noticing. Tonight however instead of ordering pizza like a normal college kid I decided to make...

Chalkboards In College?
So today in my research methods class our projector wasn’t working and the professor called the IT people to have it fixed. Apparently the entire buildings system wasn’t working and none of the projectors were working. Now this would be fine in high school because only a few teachers have powerpoints; but in college, that shit’s essential. So after I found this news out I was...

I hate people
So on Saturday, I went to work like I always do and thought nothing of it. When I came into work there was a lady signing us in and writing down the time that we came in; this person is usually the manager of the day. My manager doesn’t come in on the weekends and niether do the rest, instead they rotate and only one will work the entire store for the day. So I thought that the lady who...

Back to the good things
When was the last time you read for fun? I mean when was the last time you got home and were excited to read a book, not one that you thought was interesting from class but one that you went to go get from a store or a library. For me, until this past weekend, that last time I read was the last Harry Potter book.
When I was younger I used to read all the time, I always had a book. In middle...
A good week so far
My weeks is actually going pretty good with no major bumps in my way so far. It started out well on Sunday night when I was invited to go to Senior Sunday and had a drink for free. Yesterday (Monday) I went to an information meeting about research opportunities for psychology which would be a major boost for my resume and grad school application. I contacted two of the different researchers and I...

First time for everything
In all my breaks from college, I’ve never been excited to come back home. I always wait impatiently for the day when I can return back to Syracuse and be away from this town that I hate so much. This break however, has been completely different. I came home with those same feelings of hating my town because it’s so boring, but I haven’t been counting down this time.
I’ve...
Get Over It
Dear Italians,
I’m so sick of you complaining about the jersey shore. Wah wah wah it doesn’t represent real italians. Seriously get over it. I don’t care that it doesn’t represent Italians because honestly TV has been misrepresenting both black and latino communities since forever.
Now I’m not gonna bore you with a little history lesson about how blacks have been misrepresented in the media...
Good Friends
I once received a bumper sticker on facebook that said bad friends will tell you that you’ve had too much to drink and stop you from drinking more, good friends will keep drinking with you. At the time I agreed with this saying to a degree; but over the past break from school this has changed.
A good friend is a friend whose so comfortable with you that they’ll tell you something that...
