Would You Like To Know More?

The world is made up of facts.  Facts vary over a seemingly unlimited spectrum.  Facts are the only way some people can believe in anything.  Facts prove scientific theories, and have helped us keep building and transforming our world, building newer and more advanced machines.  Facts are the building blocks for tomorrow, and remnants of the past.  Facts give us a solid ground, and help us feel safe and secure.  All people want to know are the facts.

I have a favorite kind of fact, however. Useless facts.  Completely mindless, seemingly useless facts make my day.  These facts make me think, wonder, and laugh.  After a long day of hard, set in stone facts, I need silly ones to help me stay sane.

This is a list of funny or interesting facts that I hope will make your day.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive
