“I said that the world is absurd, but I was too hasty. This world in itself is not reasonable, that is all that can be said. But what is absurd is the confrontation of this irrational and the wild longing for clarity whose call echoes in the human heart.”
“I look at my student loan statements each month and feel angry and jaded toward a culture that tells poor kids that the only way to make anything of themselves is to take out a ton of loans to MAYBE have a tiny chance at competing for a job that dozens or hundreds of other people are also competing for.
I feel like someone tricked me along the way by telling me college was the answer, and I feel stupid for not having questioned that. I did enjoy college. I don’t regret my degree. I DO have a job now. But I don’t think that means the system works. I think that means I’m lucky.

I have a job that I could have gotten had I just stayed home and worked in retail for the four years I was in college. For real if they took this degree back and told me my debt was paid I’d be cool with it.

Man, those statements…..Student loan debt is the reason why I live paycheck to paycheck.

“Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me
AP Microecon final in seven hours,
And a take-home bio exam due, too.”
:’D
I barely woke up to do my homework a few minutes ago; my mom tried to wake me up earlier, but she had a documentary about volcanoes on and so I sleepily replied to her that I was getting the answers to my bio test through osmosis. “Like Freud… Sleeeeeeeerrpy ozzmoziz,” that is.
My test is about evolution.
“The way we try to recruit girls into STEM fields is all wrong. We typically compare them to some great woman or someone that has gone before them. We are saying, “Hey, you can be like Madam Curie or Sally Ride.” It is recruiting by intimidation. We need to change that message. We need to recruit by appealing to WHY we need them in STEM. We NEED you to help make the world a better place We NEED you to help discover the cure for cancer. We NEED you because you have the ability to change the course of humanity for the better.”
Tim Holt on why we still see the number of females in STEM fields fall way behind their male counterparts. Also see how geography paved the way for women in science.

I was so desperate. Pulled from the deep recesses of my mind and still could only answer 85% of the questions… some of which was only partially done. I did (some) of the extra credit, and I need to get an 86% to maintain my “A” in the class, but… I don’t think the odds are in my favor.
In an attempt to appease my professor (who’s usually someone with a good sense of humor), I tried the Tumblr way aka writing messages to her in the margins. Things like,
“Birthday tomorrow. An ‘A’ will be a sufficient gift.”
and
“My life is flashing before my eyes. Why God.”
“There are beautiful things in the world and there are sad things and when they come together they make a star. The light is far away and the strangest part is that the light is inside you. But no matter how hard you look you can never see the star itself, you only see the reflection of it on a lake, which is also inside you.”
