The First Day of Classes

The first week of classes is officially over and the semester is now officially underway. However, to me and everyone I've talked to in the last week, it seems like we've been in class for weeks. So here to lighten the mood and take your mind off of your new assignments and quizzes is the story of the first day of classes.

You wake up on the first day of classes, chipper and ready to face the day with a dazzling smile, but you realize the only way you can get through four classes in a row before two in the afternoon is by eating a healthy breakfast:

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F08%2F28%2F636080180524007745-2088481923_breakfast.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=419&h=57b9b107572a61e21c06164966befcd5aa5eda7b94276a84d632e83300988d42&size=980x&c=331432408 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F08%252F28%252F636080180524007745-2088481923_breakfast.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D419%26h%3D57b9b107572a61e21c06164966befcd5aa5eda7b94276a84d632e83300988d42%26size%3D980x%26c%3D331432408%22%7D" expand=1]

Once you've eaten everything in sight...no, really:

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F08%2F28%2F636080181538404178-1856163798_waffle.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=308&h=3b7e180cfc21d6fbf0f0820741a6b52b0cd9c5a84145a5f28420dc0fd9c8ab38&size=980x&c=494236301 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F08%252F28%252F636080181538404178-1856163798_waffle.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D308%26h%3D3b7e180cfc21d6fbf0f0820741a6b52b0cd9c5a84145a5f28420dc0fd9c8ab38%26size%3D980x%26c%3D494236301%22%7D" expand=1]

It's finally time to get ready for school. So you decide to make yourself look as good as possible and spend a ton of time getting ready for class. You may even shower. But either way, if you look like this:

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F08%2F28%2F636080183882601055862960168_treat.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=911&h=b39e80c379fb529d4e9df91a64d0af31582e64bd50c7f266e07406b32d35fe38&size=980x&c=873055761 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F08%252F28%252F636080183882601055862960168_treat.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D911%26h%3Db39e80c379fb529d4e9df91a64d0af31582e64bd50c7f266e07406b32d35fe38%26size%3D980x%26c%3D873055761%22%7D" expand=1]

Or like this:

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F08%2F28%2F636080185851420111338391511_ron.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=236&h=9ed8a76a594e8c9cefd88e5e966ff99b526a4e64d9bbd1b1f6f981f6cdfb472d&size=980x&c=1868571991 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F08%252F28%252F636080185851420111338391511_ron.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D236%26h%3D9ed8a76a594e8c9cefd88e5e966ff99b526a4e64d9bbd1b1f6f981f6cdfb472d%26size%3D980x%26c%3D1868571991%22%7D" expand=1]

No one is going to judge you, because they truly don't care. So after you've decided you're presentable enough for society, you head out the door and decide that it's nice enough outside to bike to class:

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F08%2F28%2F6360801882875122811993376594_biking.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=496&h=62f46d2711339db28aff811c2472f6c6cf2af635a128c0f625cf75126faefff1&size=980x&c=2475297511 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F08%252F28%252F6360801882875122811993376594_biking.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D496%26h%3D62f46d2711339db28aff811c2472f6c6cf2af635a128c0f625cf75126faefff1%26size%3D980x%26c%3D2475297511%22%7D" expand=1]

Once you finally make it to your first class, you sit down and look around for people you may know. Literally anyone to talk to in order to make it seem less awkward that you're now sweaty and gross from the physical exertion, as well as completely alone:

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F08%2F28%2F6360801903691497651397571443_april.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=879&h=c42668fca1f36f8ce3a1117972eca02b3ea165d882414a154d3945e28299ffbd&size=980x&c=1808117821 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F08%252F28%252F6360801903691497651397571443_april.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D879%26h%3Dc42668fca1f36f8ce3a1117972eca02b3ea165d882414a154d3945e28299ffbd%26size%3D980x%26c%3D1808117821%22%7D" expand=1]

Once class starts, however, you remember that you're freedom has basically been taken away from you for the next fifteen weeks and you want to get out of there as soon as possible:

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F08%2F28%2F636080192102755177-130115732_pizza.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=727&h=527a0ea5b4ded717355e89cea4891ef618891c3c622e0802d95fc9f2a405fcb7&size=980x&c=2923109254 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F08%252F28%252F636080192102755177-130115732_pizza.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D727%26h%3D527a0ea5b4ded717355e89cea4891ef618891c3c622e0802d95fc9f2a405fcb7%26size%3D980x%26c%3D2923109254%22%7D" expand=1]

At the end of the day, when you finally walk into your room and realize it's over and you've survived the first day of class, you celebrate:

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F08%2F28%2F6360801934557230231504529697_party.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=676&h=fb937466cf7c325677d030dc8a573d4c15512e69146a1a102323a71bc9004f6e&size=980x&c=2389824029 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F08%252F28%252F6360801934557230231504529697_party.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D676%26h%3Dfb937466cf7c325677d030dc8a573d4c15512e69146a1a102323a71bc9004f6e%26size%3D980x%26c%3D2389824029%22%7D" expand=1]

And then you take a seven hour long nap and wake up really confused:

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F08%2F28%2F636080194483188569-1855176429_naps.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=746&h=86bc14549659c123b1811b80b2343314eb811a9c19733e134cfac059e64a47b7&size=980x&c=2900741175 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F08%252F28%252F636080194483188569-1855176429_naps.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D746%26h%3D86bc14549659c123b1811b80b2343314eb811a9c19733e134cfac059e64a47b7%26size%3D980x%26c%3D2900741175%22%7D" expand=1]

Happy first week of classes!

No Sex And Upstate New York

A modern-day reincarnation of Carrie Bradshaw's classic column

2057
Pinterest

Around the age of 12, when I was deciding whether or not to be gay, Satan appeared on my left shoulder. “Ramsssey,” he said with that telltale lisp. “Come over to our side. We have crazy partiessss.” He made a strong case, bouncing up and down on my shoulder with six-pack abs and form-fitting Calvin Kleins. An angel popped up on the other shoulder and was going to warn me about something, but Satan interrupted- “Shut up, you crusty-ass bitch!’ The angel was pretty crusty. She disappeared, and from that moment forward I was gay.

Senior Year Is Here And I Am So Not Ready For It

I was you not that long ago. I was once an eager freshman, a searching sophomore, and a know-it-all junior. Now? Now I am a risk taker. Not the type that gets you in trouble with your parents, but the type that changes your future. Senior year is exciting. A lot of awesome things come along with being the top-dog of the school, but you, right now, are building the foundation for the next 4 years that you will spend in high school. I know you've heard it all. "Get involved", "You'll regret not going to prom", "You're going to miss this". As redundant as these seem, they're true. Although I am just at the beginning of my senior year, I am realizing how many lasts I am encountering.

Why Driving Drives Me Crazy

the highways are home

3249

With Halloween quickly approaching, I have been talking to coworkers about what scares us. There are always the obvious things like clowns, spiders, heights, etc. But me? There are a number things I don't like: trusting strangers, being yelled at, being in life or death situations, parallel parking. All of these are included when you get behind the wheel of a car.
