"I Do."

They didn't say it'd be easy, but I never heard anything about it being this goddamn stupid.

"I Do."
Manrepeller

"Men are so goddamn stupid. All they do is talk to hear themselves speak. Then they say something dumb that hurts your feelings and start trying to backtrack when you call them out.

Men are so goddamn stupid. I don't know why I ever thought to get myself involved with boys. I heard my mom talk about how inconsiderate they were, but I guess I had to see for myself.

Well, now I've seen all I've needed to, and I'd like to announce my retirement.

This speech, right here, is dedicated to all 23 of my boyfriends — each and every one of you did nothing for me. I've been thinking about how my life would be without all of y'all. I've come to the conclusion that if I would've put all my efforts into — I don't know, let's just say a job — I could be owning a multi-million dollar business by just about now. Man, you all have really wasted my time. Hey, but I'm the idiot that allowed this... this... nonsense.

That's all this really is anyways, nonsense.

No. 3 broke my heart sophomore year after cheating on me for five — yes, you heard right — five years.

No. 6 just liked how I looked, and that's all he will ever like so that's why he continues to call me even though there will be several years in between when I actually pick up.

No. 16 was supposed to be my best friend before anything else, but then I got "too emotional," so we couldn't be friends anymore. I didn't even care when he ducked out though. There were only 15 before him to prepare me for it.

No. 19 took me on the worst first date ever, yet for some reason, I continued to allow this. Man, I actually fell in love with No. 20 on accident... and now there's you babe.

You're now probably waiting for me to tell you how you are the exception, but you're not the exception.

No. 20 might've been, but you definitely are not. I know this is really early in our relationship, but sitting here next to you, I've just become very uncomfortable, and I've decided I just don't really want to do this anymore. And I don't feel apologetic for it."

She held her glass in the air and shouted,"To being single!" The audience's eyes were gaping, mouths at a loss for words, but she just sat down and started eating her spaghetti, not caring that the sauce was dripping onto her long, white dress.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
