Study Break Realizations.
I figured since I’ve been a good little “freshman” by studying for my Psych 100A nonstop for last two hours that I deserved a little study break. [:
Sometimes I can’t believe that I’m at this point in my life right now. It’s so amazing how quickly your life can change in such a divergent direction in such a short amount of time, or how many of life’s...
January 2010
Here I am again, up way past the time when my eyes first started to droop and the yawns roared out of my mouth, with absolutely no good, valid reason to ever be up this late. Sometimes I wonder if I’ll ever be able to revert back to a “normal” sleeping pattern again.
I guess I’ll drift into slumber now. Good night, world. See you again in a few, short hours.

Feed me Almond Joys. LOTS of Almond Joys. And tell me all the corniest pick up lines/jokes you know. That always helps. [:

Finding The Surprising Gaps in Your Self-Knowledge →
psychotherapy:
Why are people so blissfully ignorant of certain aspects of their personalities?
Take an everyday example: there are some infuriating people who are always late for appointments. A few of these people explain it by saying they are ‘laid-back’, while others seem unaware that they’re always late.
For laid-back people, their lateness is a part of their personality, they are aware...
Does Internet use reflect your personality? →
psychotherapy:
Using Eysenck’s classic personality test, Tosun and Lajunen found that students who scored high on extraversion (agreeing with statements like ‘I am very talkative’) tended to use the Internet to extend their real-life relationships, whereas students who scored high on psychoticism (answering ‘yes’ to statements like ‘does your mood often go up and down?’ and ‘do you like movie...

Dear Facebook community,
There are many reasons why Facebook included a status indicator in the information tab. While the prime purpose of having this status indicator is to let people know if you’re available or not, it also helps protects people from getting their hearts torn apart. Please take the time to honestly display your relationship status whatever it may be, and keep it...
Too Much?
At my core, I’m a very passionate person. One of my deepest flaws is that I let my passions override my own capacity to express them. I always want to do too much of everything, and I hate choosing which passions to commit myself to; I hate limiting myself, but I’m realistic in knowing that I can’t be everywhere doing everything. ]: I’m starting to worry that I might be...

I was talking to my friend Abe today about rhetorical devices used in writing. You know, those fuckers like metaphors, assonance, onomatopoeia, alliteration, personification. Gentrification. (WHICH IS NOT ACTUALLY A RHETORICAL DEVICE. TRY TO USE IT IN YOUR NEXT PAPER IF YOU ARE BRAVE.)
But while I use these rhetorical devices (and others) all the time, I’d like to call your...

Northern Lights sent out a mass e-mail to everyone that applied for a job position and didn’t get hired. Unfortunately, I’m one of those people that received this rejection e-mail.

No, I’m not experimenting with alcohol right now.
