#25589 I hate everyone who's going out shopping on Thanksgiving. Because of you, there are millions of people who are stuck at work when they should be at home with the people they care about

#25588 Another Shitty Poem:
A realization that she didn’t love me anymore
A perpetual thought of her with my replacement
And with only a few words she threw my heart to the floor
I love her infinitely, but now my heart is just hemorrhaging
I must walk on through the shadow of life, and stop the bleeding
Her memory forever impeding

#25587 Found 1 red dinosaur.

#25586 Why does no one do anything "fun" but get drunk these days? What happened to adventures?

#25585 I lost the most important thing to me on Purdue's campus. Only to realize at the airport on my way home. I locked myself in the airport bathroom and bawled for half an hour. No one seems to find it and now I really hate school and do not want to go back ever. Meanwhile if anybody finds a red stuffed dinosaur please, I beg

#25584 My uncle really is uncle Eddie. "Save the neck for me Clark."

#25583 I try really hard to be supportive of my friends in different family situations. Some hate their parents, some come from rough histories, everybody seems to have problem with that certain family member they're dreading to see, but... I just can't do it sometimes, at least honestly. Some of the things they're willing to disown their own parents over is heart breaking and I can only just nod my head sometimes and listen. I lost a parent to suicide, the other estranged on a divorce that tore me apart as a kid. I sometimes wonder if I'll ever have family of my own, because I'm too scared of how messed up I might be. Maybe it's outside looking in, grass is always greener and such, but I'd kill to have a family to go home to again. I hate holding back, lying to my friends when I say I understand, but I don't know if I can stand losing them too.

Regardless of how cold (or not) that it gets, here is a
PSA TO ALL FRESHMEN THAT HAVEN'T GONE THROUGH A MIDWEST (OR WORSE) WINTER:

1. Buy a coat. Not a jacket, not a sweatshirt. A /coat/. Buy one of those fluffy insulated marshmallow things. No one is going to care what you look like when it’s 20 below.

2. Wear that shit. If you’re cold, don’t think you’ll look stupid because everyone is staring at the ground to keep the wind out of their eyes anyway.

3. Buy some fleece lined gloves, all the better if they have those cool tech fingertips. Keep them on, and buy more than one pair because you will lose one.

4. If you wear nothing else keep your toes, ears, and fingers warm. (These will get hypothermia or frostbite the fastest.) Gloves, hats and thick socks.

5. Black ice is a very dangerous thing. It’s when the sidewalk looks simply wet but it’s actually ice that’s just very thin and clear. Be very careful and assume that if you see wet ground, it’s icy and WALK CAREFULLY.

6. Speaking of which. DON’T BIKE WHEN THERE IS ICE OR SNOW ON THE GROUND. DON’T BE STUPID. (Serious pet peeve of mine. The wind alone will burn your face but it’s incredibly hard to keep steady.)

7. As far as the busses go, don’t expect buses to stop at a busstop if it’s on a hill if it’s icy out. They can’t let people on while stopped on a hill, their brakes aren’t strong enough.

8. Busses will get full. Busses will pass you because they don’t have room. Don’t yell at drivers, it’s not their fault. Plan ahead and try to get the bus earlier than you usually do just in case it passes you by.

9. If you have pets (specifically dogs) don’t feel dumb if you think they need a coat or boots. Dogs with webbed feet can get impacted ice in their toes which can give them frostbite. If you have a greyhound or a dog with a thin coat they really should have a coat, don’t listen to the people who say otherwise. Take care of your furry friend and remember that they need walks everyday, not just when it’s nice out.

If anyone else has tips share them!
