College As Told By "Alice In Wonderland"

College is all mad, but that's OK.

College As Told By "Alice In Wonderland"

“It’s no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.”

We all know this feeling -- the feeling of being madly exhausted after pulling an all-nighter and writing a 27 page paper you know you should’ve started two months ago.

“But I don’t want to go among mad people," Alice remarked. "Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."

One word: Finals. We all get the sad, crazy look during finals week (don’t deny it). Every person walks around campus like a zombie with bloodshot eyes from studying, or attempting to study, and has given up on their looks, just praying to get through the week to freedom.

“Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”

Freshmen.

“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"

"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to."

"I don't much care where –"

"Then it doesn't matter which way you go.”

This is for the people who will graduate college without a job secured or a clue what to do with their degree. All you want is to call your mom or dad, grandma or the dean of the school and plead, “What do I do now?!”

“Who in the world am I? Ah, that's the great puzzle.”

A lot of us go into college having no clue what we want to major in, and that, is the ‘great puzzle’ of college.

“Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality.”

As students, we can only hope that one day college will be free with no strings attached. The reality is, you pray you will not have to sell your liver to pay off your student loans. Or, you can hope for a zombie apocalypse.

The Unwritten Rules Of "Talking"

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
