Group essay. Saturday night. Due by 7am tomorrow. Mahhh hair is a mess. I am a mess.

I wished grad schools would post up warnings for perspective students on their school sites. Like: “So you’ve decided to forego your looks, sanity, and social life? Welcome to higher education: where we care more about your grades and money than said education. Also, we don’t guarantee you a safe and long-lasting career. But you should’ve known that! Or are you really that stupid? Guess you are. Hahahaha you dumb bitches. Here’s your Masters. Have fun paying back 60k in loans!”

On another note, my lips do not look that plump in real life.

UC Irvine is investigating a note slipped under the door of a freshman’s dorm room on Tuesday night that read Go back 2 Africa slave.

Oh c’mon, Irvine. Get your shit together. You’re making it an embarrassment to be an alum.

(Is it still racist if every Native American went around telling Caucasians to go back to Europe?)

Sneak peak of what’s to come.  One week until I see him in in NY.  Two weeks until I see him graduate from Columbia with an MPH.  Lookit that sky blue grad robe. Shout out to Peter the Anteater!

Can take the hipster out of the ghetto, but can’t take the ghetto out of the hipster.

Best/worst distraction ever. Gizoogle everythaaang.

This spoken word is not slamming education. It’s slamming the fact that our world values grades more than learning. So no comments of “ugh, this video is taking education for granted” or “so many kids out there don’t have an education, and he’s complaining about grades”. No, no, no. Not the message of this video at all. There is a huge difference between education and school.

Dan H. Pink was Al Gore’s speechwriter.  So good!  I love TED Talks.  I love them even more when I have to watch them for class.  If you have 18 minutes to spare, you should watch this :-) (via Dan Pink: The puzzle of motivation)

Look how expensive (an ivy league) education is, y’all.

I grew up being obsessed with dance shows and performances.  I believe it was this doll right here that sparked my interests.  She’s a limited edition collectable and she was given to me for my eighth birthday.  It was a gift from my French aunt.  A Victorian ballerina…this is as girly as it gets.
