– FML I’m an English Major (via fmlenglishmajor)
This is pretty true. I’m kind of jealous that other people get to take classes next year and I don’t, even though I don’t want to do the work required of me right now.

You know you’re an English major when your day consists of:
-reading 200 pages
-writing about said 200 pages
-going to a lecture to talk about said paper about said 200 pages
-editing a paper about a different 200 pages
-scheduling a meeting to talk about a paper you wrote a year ago
-writing a different paper about a novel you read a month ago

So let's just get this straight...

Hunger Games has the 3rd biggest opening in movie history.
An action flick starring a girl.
Who isn’t an emaciated stick.
Who isn’t a princess.
Whose journey is motivated by her sister, not a man.
Who is not sexually used, abused, active or even objectified much.
3rd biggest opening in movie history. Spawning a franchise.
Let’s just… let’s just think about that.

Question.
If someone has never participated in an organization and is a complete bitch to the president (aka me) via e-mail, does she have a right to demand a membership certificate be e-mailed to her ASAP?
Seventeen: You've said girls should embrace their curves. Why did you think it important to make that statement?
Jennifer Lawrence: When I was playing Mystique in X-Men, I remember thinking, If I'm going to be naked in paint in front of the entire world, I'm going to look like a woman. I'm going to have curves and have boobs and have a butt. Because girls are going to look at that, and if I look like a scarecrow, they are going to think, Oh, that's normal. It's not normal. I'm just so sick of these young girls with diets. I remember when I was 13 and it was cool to pretend to have an eating disorder because there were rumors that Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Richie were anorexic. I thought it was crazy. I went home and told my mom, "Nobody's eating bread--I just had to finish everyone's burgers". I think it's really important for girls to have people to look up to and feel good about themselves.

Malcolm In The Middle (Classic)
Hal: So, Dewey, I'm thinking our little [Lego] community needs a school.
Dewey: Don't need it. Everyone's born smart.
Hal: Aww, that's beautiful, son. It's a utopia.
Dewey: And anyone stupid will be ground up for food.
Hal: Oh. A cannibal utopia. Interesting.

Planning the future is hard. I’ve applied to, what feels to be, about 30 jobs in the past three days. I swear I’ve fallen asleep and dreamed about Monster.com. I’m super excited about where my future will take me, especially since I get to experience it with Ryan, but I’m terrified. I’m really not sure what I’m qualified for with a B.A. in English and History....

Coffee Rings and Scribbled Lines: Best Email Ever... →
or-even-cured:
So, I got an email from a classmate today. You know, the one who’s a sexist prick and talks about the “natural roles” for men and women, and thinks that sex education has absolutely no association with contraceptives.
Last Tuesday (a week ago), I walked out of class and traveled on down the…
Reblogging this for you Steve. It’s another “Asshole in...

To make things worse, one of the dogs is sick so I had to clean up four wet, gross, runny poop piles on the carpet and all over my computer charger.
:( Today really sucked.
Got in a fight with Ryan last night and haven’t heard from him at all today.
This sucks.
