I Love Being a Psychology Major

Every student begs for extra credit at least once during the semester, usually after you bomb a test or write a truly atrocious paper.  You usually hope for a one page write up of some extra lecture someone is giving on campus, or an extra homework assignment or something.  Anything that will help boost your [...]

Professor’s Away, Students Will Play

Today I walked into Animal Behavior and the Psychology Department’s secretary was standing in the front of the room.  My professor had canceled the last class and the one before that didn’t take place because of mid-semester break.  So we hadn’t had class in nearly two weeks.  The TV projector was on, so I figured [...]

Dorm=Paradise?

Today in Fiction Workshop we were critiquing a story a girl wrote about someone who was stranded on an island.  The island was described as very calming and a sort of paradise.  However, the teacher felt like the story was more about the girl’s relationship with her mother (and I agreed).  He then suggested that [...]

The Good and the Bad, Mostly the Bad

After a few weeks of not having much to blog about, I all of a sudden have quite a few things to blog about.  I’m just going to put them in one entry to make my life easier.
I woke up today to the lovely sound of my phone making a crackling noise that sounded somewhat [...]

It’s October

Where did September go?  Seriously, that month went so fast.  Seems like the first day of school was just last week.  But nope, it definitely wasn’t.  Mid semester break is in a few weeks, which means that, hence its name, it will soon be the middle of the semester.  Guess who hasn’t started her senior [...]

The Classes

Class has been in session for over a week now, so I have sat through enough lectures to give you a sufficient opinion on my edumacation for the semester.  This semester is odd because only three of my classes have meeting times.  Besides them, I am working in a research lab and working on my [...]

Couldn’t Have Timed That Better

Packing up the Uhaul for college went quite smoothly this year.  We did not have to turn around once.  I am currently in a hotel near my bro’s college and am quite impressed with their Wi-Fi.
I received an email from my college yesterday informing me about a project the town is starting.  They are replacing [...]

End of August=Chaos

It is time yet again to make the switch from the carefree summer to the chaos that is moving back to school and the start of a new semester.  I am moving back to school on Saturday, my brother is moving in on Friday.  Since our colleges are relatively close together, we’re going in the [...]

The Curse of Cursive

I distinctly remember the last time I wrote something in cursive, prior to today, that was not signing my name.  It was the day I took the SAT, in junior year of high school.  The task was tedious, as I did not remember much cursive, which I had not used since elementary school.  Why I [...]

Semi-Annual Textbook Rant

You all knew it was coming.  You know school is coming when I rant about textbook prices.  But you know what?  I nearly had to not have a rant this year.
I am only taking three classes that require me to purchase textbooks.  My other credits consist of my senior thesis and working in a research [...]
