"This is a huge opportunity bitches. DBAA." – Breaking Bad

Nov 07, 2016

Some tips about how to stop being an ass to people around you. If nothing from this list is about you – double-check this, please. If it’s not about you even after double-checking, I’m really glad that you exist in this world. Please, call me. I need to know you are a real person.

1. Do not ignore people.

Even if you decided not to talk to them anymore, even if you had a huge quarrel, even if they vote for Trump – it doesn’t mean that they just don’t exist in the same world as you do anymore, okay? If you meet them, especially if it’s someone from the same college as you and you live on the same campus, just… Come on! It’s not as hard as you think just to smile and to say hi. Be polite. Just for a moment, forget about all the stuff happened between you.

2. Do not think that you are the center of the world.

I mean… It’s pretty obvious, no? Sometimes you need to be selfish, it’s true. But not all the time. Just stop for a moment and think about others as you think about yourself.

Attention: if you always think only about others – stop doing this. You deserve attention from yourself too.

3. Do not betray people.

Again, so obvious. I don’t even want to comment on this.

4. Do not boast your achievement if you didn’t work hard or if you reached the same goal easily.

Hard to explain, but if you know that someone worked really hard to achieve something and you got it easily because of your special skills or because of fortune… Don’t even try to tell the person next to you that it was easy and you got it so perfectly. They worked so hard! Tell them that they are good! Because it is important for them.

5. Do not interfere with someone’s life.

If someone didn’t ask for your opinion, don’t try to impose your opinion. You’re not perfect, you can’t know everything to always give advice.

6. Do not use people.

It’s similar to the “do not think that you’re the center of the world” point, but at the same time completely different. Even if sometimes you need to use someone for your own stuff, do not let them understand that you’re using them! If you want to be a secret ass – be a secret ass, but do not break someone’s heart, be a creative secret ass. Or do not be an ass at all.

7. Just don’t be an ass, okay?

Treat others the way you want to be treated, okay? You, obviously, don’t want anyone to be an ass to you, right?

13 Times April Ludgate Perfectly Explained College

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

177

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

Being A Senior: The Best And Worst Of It

Graduation is coming.

Loyola University Chicago

134

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.

Stetson University

Zimbio

Ah, Ms. Chanandler Bong, or Chandler Bing as he is better known as. For 10 years, Chandler brought us many laughs, many tears, and, well, Matthew Perry's fame. He is, personally, my favorite character on "Friends" because he made me laugh more than any other character on the show and I felt like I could relate to him more than the other characters on the show. Anyway, here are 10 Chandler Bing quotes that anyone can relate to... or graduates can at least...
