#1164 I know you want to take things slow, and I respect that. But let me at least hold the fuck out of your hand.

#1163 WINTER BALL is TWO WORDS.

#1161 I went on a date today and I felt really confident... then the dude texted me and basically more or less told me I was ugly. FML.

#1160 Hello whiners. Let's talk about whining, and why you do it.
A) Human's live in groups primarily for security. If you're injured or incapacitated, your group will see you through the hard times. This means everyone in the group must work harder, but is also safer from calamities themselves. Of course, this system begs to be abused. People can make up or exaggerate some ailment or disadvantage in order to benefit from tribal resources without putting in effort themselves. This is why we complain. Complaining convincingly was evolutionary beneficial (whether you've really been injured or not). This also explains why we argue with whiners. Ever feel the urge to tell someone their whining is bullshit, or that everyone has that problem, or that their problem isn't really a big deal (compared, perhaps, to your own problems)? This is a natural way of the group protecting itself from exploitation, and for individuals to justify their miserliness (towards the whiner) to the group.
B) Its sexy. Demonstration of personal hardship means that your failures look less bad and your successes look better. If Runs With Buffalo goes on a hunt and snags a boar that's great. What a sexy, successful guy. But if he tells everyone about how he had to do it with his bear hands, that's even sexier. What spectacular genes this individual must have to accomplish so much even with this handicap. Perhaps I will have his babies.
So there you have it whiners. You are vindicated. Keep letting everyone know how hard your life is.

#1159 props to Brian Rosenberg for putting up with armloads of bullshit from American Studies types who don't know a damn thing at the strategic planning forum... he has a lot more patience then I do, I would have told all these spoiled college kids to cram their bullshit years ago.

#1158 To the guy who called out my friend and I as "pumpkin spice basic bitches" on campus today:

Why can't a girl go to the gym without worrying that doing squats = basic bitch?
Why can't I order a coffee without someone assuming its pumpkin spice and therefore = I'm a basic bitch?
Why can't I have whatever tattoo I like wherever I want it without someone telling me that it = basic bitch?

What about all the Basic Bastards out there?
I see you with your buttoned up plaid shirt, trying to hide your beer belly from too many late nights with girls who are too drunk to realize they can do better. I see you with your cartoon tattoo and your iPad at Starbucks trying to look scholarly when you are actually just commenting "basic bitch" to every pretty girl you see on Facebook.

If "basic bitches" exist, then there are equal -if not more- "Basic Bastards" out there.

#1157 Confession: I tend to complain about the typical "Macalester" Student even though I don't even know any typical "Macalester" students. Hell even the biggest activists complain about the typical "Macalester" student. We are a bit more opinionated than most but I don't that many of us actually fit the stereotype that so many people like to rant against.

#1156 Everyone ehhh!! Woah !! yeah!!

I wanna dress like Miley Cyrus to school everyday
