How To Write An Introduction
I just spent two hours of my life listening to a nerdy man explain to me how to and why to write an introduction paragraph on an essay. I am a freshman (sophomore, if you are going by credits) in college and came from a school where I was an honors and AP student.
Basically, I am paying $9,000 for the year to listen to this shit in this class. I want my money back. (And by $9,000 - I mean $52,000...

Housing
So, I’m so done with this entire process. It’s so ridiculous and poorly planned and even more poorly executed. Here at SU, the housing process is currently ongoing and it’s broken into tiers based on the type of room/group option.
Right now, we’re in Phase 2 which is for Four and Three person suites, quads and triples. Each student is given a lottery number, and then...

Just a thought - with a little help from some new tumble custom theme options, this “Answers” thing could become a simple way to comment on posts.
Air Raid?

Me: I feel like I hear an air raid siren. Are we being bombed?
Jordan: They're in tech for Anne Frank in the other theatre.
Me: Oh ok, so in reality - we are being bombed.
Jordan: Technically, Anne Frank is.
Me: I love theatre.

I just bought this bundle - always a great deal to get over $900.00 of software for only around $30.00!
davidkaneda:
This year’s bundle includes great apps like LittleSnapper, Acorn, and, if they become unlocked, The Hit List and Espresso. Altogether a tremendous value. EventBox is also being given away for free to all visitors.

I hate packing.
I wish I had a little money or butler to pack and unpack my clothes and have them waiting for me wherever I go without the need to check my luggage. But I guess if I’m going to wish for something that wildly unrealistic, I might as well wish for a private jet or the ability to apparate.

Wanted: Personal Misfortune
Dear college students of Syracuse University,
If it’s not too much trouble, I’d really appreciate it if one of the 30,000 of you on or around campus would please:
drink too much
get in a fight
drink too much and get in a fight
walk into something
get food poisoning
experience any other personal misfortune
My only requirement is that you do so in such a degree of seriousness...
Writing 205
Animal planet, the 12 foot liger, 6 foot man eating bird, trying weed, drinking for the first time at twenty seven and how to die with Bacardi 151.

This Summer?
I wish we didn’t have to wait until June to get our hands on the new iPhone OS. Lot’s of cool features coming. My favorites:
Spotlight. Search for anything on your iPhone. It even gets its own home screen.
Landscape Mode. Ability to use “key applications” in landscape mode.
MMS. Picture messages, locations, contacts all through text messages now.
Notes Sync. Finally,...

Dear Tumbr,
Can you please make an integrated comment system? Please? I promise not to ask for anything else and I’ll be a really good blogger from now on.
Thanks,

I just ate an entire can of olives. That might have been the grossest thing I’ve done in a really long time.

I need to stop posting the random innards of my mind onto Tumblr. Granted, they’re somewhat interesting and cover a broad range of topics.

Sometimes, I Hate People
So on my way home from the movies before, I was on Wading River Road, a two lane road that’s something stuck between a highway and a local road. Anyway, the speed limit is 35 MPH. So it was pretty late but there were still a lot of cars on the road and cops LOVE to hide in the turns and wait for people to break the law - I’ve almost gotten caught a dozen times.
So I was going 47~...
Lists
It’s really weird, but sometimes I find myself driving home and making a list in my head of things I need to put on my tumblr. It’s official, I need a life.

Facebook Haters & Lovers Alike
I get it Facebook. I understand the point of the changes. It’s a way to keep things fresh and to adapt to the ever-changing way we live and use the internet to “connect”. I think that the changes were a good idea, but one that was poorly executed.
1. The concept of “sharing” has evolved so much over time on Facebook and I think a lot of the changes were centered...

Dear whirr, why do you suck so hard? I started following you because you randomly followed me (lurker style, most likely) and I looked at your posts for a solid three weeks or so. Why did you make a tumblr? Ninety percent of your posts are just reblogged, out of focus pictures of foxes and hipster sluts playing with flowers. If I...
