My Mother...
…thinks that I do too much homework.
That’s a first. O__o.

That Starbucks Barista: Take 2
“He doesn’t have a future.”
…is what she said.
I’m kind of glad she realized that.
“I just want to be me.”
…is what she said as well.
Hopefully, this is case-closed on the Starbucks Barista.
(Though to be honest, I think the only reason why she wanted me to come to Starbucks is so it didn’t have to get awkward. #thirdwheel)

Please Respect My Major: Take 4
Today, a freshman who lives in my dorm came up to me and said that he really respects biology and chemistry majors because of the way that they think. And he confessed that he doesn’t think like that.
“Biology and chemistry majors think pyramidally—they need a lot of broad knowledge for a foundation that culminates into a big truth. Physics majors thinking...

That Starbucks Barista
Recently, I’ve been kind of worried for my friend. She frequents the Starbucks by our school daily, so one of the baristas knows her name and the drink she always orders. She -finally- got his number, and she went on a date with him yesterday.
I find myself partially to blame for this—I encouraged her to leave her number on his car (this didn’t actually happen) or something if...

Thanks for Thinking of Me.
So, I was studying Carbons and I heard Kevin’s voice and GLR company outside my door. I was wondering what they were doing outside since I live in the furthest dorm away from them. After I opened the door, they asked me if I wanted to go to a friend’s apartment to bake cookies.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t take up the offer because I had a lot of work—mainly left over...
I’ve been so busy that I almost forgot about my pending birthday. My mom had to remind me.

“Omg today is Chinese New Years, and it’s Vietnamese New Years too....”
– In her anthropology class, my friend overheard her classmates from a different college say this. I think this is slightly surprising that they’d say that, but who am I to judge who knows what about what culture?

Spring Kogakuin Season
I have always felt that the spring semester feels the busiest—my classmates start going to sports competitions, harder classes build up on the fall semester, and big projects are due. I feel like warmer weather tends to increase everyone’s energy…though that was meant to be more metaphorical. It has been FREEZING these past couple days, and I had to bike in the rain to so many...

Textbooks in College
Me: Is it okay if I just buy the 7th edition instead of the 8th? It's over $100 cheaper and it would be great if I could save some money.
Professor: No. They added a comma in the new edition, which is utterly essential to your comprehension of the author's content.

Oh, Those Engineering Majors...
I really try my best not to hate on anybody because hate just hurts.
Besides, the Buddha did say, “You will not be punished for your anger; you will be punished by your anger.”
But I’m not going to lie—what really pisses me off sometimes is the elitist attitude of certain engineering major classmates. I can almost swear that some walk or speak with a swagger that clearly...

Dogs, Dogs, Dogs
I love dogs. So much. I’m going to miss my Sheltie Kirby when I go back to school tomorrow. I think I’m going to see if I can volunteer at a local shelter just to be around more dogs.
I watched National Geographic’s The Science of Dogs documentary today and learned about these two neat dogs: the Sulimov Dog and the Dogo Argentino.
I’m too lazy to talk more about them, so...
