"That Was A Great Article!" Says Facebook Friend Who Only Read The Headline
Key Word Suggest

Without even a hint of an idea what the hell he was talking about, Facebook friend Travis Dawson reported on Wednesday that this article was "a good one" without reading past the headline. Here is a complete transcript of Dawson's comment:

"Nice read, Tucker! A good one, for sure!"

The nerve of some people. It was not apparent whether Dawson realized that he was the subject of the article, despite his picture appearing as the article's cover photo and the name "Travis Dawson" being mentioned in multiple places. But that's when things got interesting. Barely five minutes after Dawson's foolish comment, another comment was made by an equally dimwitted Facebook friend, Paul Johnson:

"hey travis, u big stupid jerk,, make sure you read the article next tiem!!! its not good!"

Though Johnson obviously had a better concept of the quality of the article, he also seemed to never get past the headline. He later claimed that the article had "some intersting stuff" to say about current political figures like President Trump, when in reality the article never revealed the author's opinions about that terrible, terrible man.

Things got even more heated when a third Facebook friend, EZ Cool-J, joined in. Cool-J's comment proved that not only did he read the entire article, but it also helped him "get woke." Here's his message:

"dudes dont you see? we all in this article rn. travis, you in this article. paul, you in this article. me, im in this article. read the whole thing, though, im towards the bottom. you see it? in fact, as i type this comment, its showin up on the article. whas goin on with that? man, this author help me get woke."

For some reason, this prompted a string of anti-Muslim comments from Johnson, who claimed that this article is, in fact, "a inside job by alk hida!!!" Johnson's comments were reported and nobody has heard from him in thirty years.

At press time, Dawson was considering sharing the article to spread its good message, claiming that "The concluding paragraph really tied things together nicely, and didn't leave me wondering what I had just read."

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
