// I complain about college alot.//

Any of you who actually read my blog would know that.
But every time I complain, I’m glad there’s always someone there to reassure me that it’s going to pay off. People always say “Don’t worry, it will all be worth it in the end, trust me.” 
Ohh if I’ve ever been trusting, its now. Lol.
I’m saying though. I need to start recording the names of all the individuals who tell me that. Because if yall are wrong, I’m comin after ya!

Seriously though, I mean I’ll give myself some time to be well off like you guys say I’ll be, but after a while, if I’m still black and struggling, you all are going on the jackass wall. (haha, Memphis radio…)
So yeah. By May 2013, I better be livin it up. In a sense. I better be out of my mom’s house and into my own apartment or condo with the finest paintings in my living room and plenty food in the fridge, have a newer car that doesn’t make noises and always starts when I crank the ignition, a job that I’m happy with financially and socially, and some acting roles that I’m learning lines for. Cuz if NOT bebby, Leslie is coming after you and your false promises. 

Moral of the story: Don’t boost my head up mane.

// I’m going to die this weekend//

of exhaustion. Because I have not started on any of the following assignments:
I have a presentation due on Monday.
I have to do a long tail take home test that’s due Monday.
I have to read two books and write papers on both of them, due Monday.

& I just got the books from the library 10 minutes ago. and TWO minutes ago, I realized that one book doesn’t fit the criteria of what we can read.

Kill me now mane.  

// Looking up Computer Science jobs.//

As a future fresh graduate, I don’t seem to qualify for any of them.
Austin Peay doesn’t bother giving tips on finding jobs/internships in your field. They didn’t even bother telling us about computer science certifications.
I’m just thinking what good is the degree I’m about to get? People still want you to have 3+ years experience in everything… Like where am I supposed to get that from if all the jobs require me to have some already?

If I hear one more person tell me I won’t have trouble finding a job because I’m in a field of computers, its going to take everything out of me not to pop them in the mouth. 

It ain’t that easy homie. I’ma be FRESH outta school. My field makes NO difference in my chances of getting a job. Economy’s still bad, and companies still want you to be a seasoned genius before they consider hiring you. 

Bet I’ma be one of these people with a degree on the wall in the house that I never use unless there’s an emergency. I’ma move on to something else if I can’t find a job by the time I have to start paying back loans. I ain’t got time to be broke all my life.

// Looked at my college algebra homework and said “What the heck is an inequality?”//

Mane, I forgot every piece of math I learned past PEMDAS.
Every single piece of a piece. 

// I just love my roommate :]//

She was asking me about homecoming week and what the step off was. So I started telling her about fraternities and sororities. I showed her a couple videos on youtube so she would know what stepping looked like and she started laughing and saying it looked weird. (She’s from Germany & studied in France so she’d never seen anything like it before). 
And then do you know what she said?

She was like “Why is it that… when I see fraternities it is only all black people or all white people?” And I told her that when they were founded years ago, blacks and whites were still separated, and I guess it just stayed like that throughout the years and it somehow became a culture thing. Then I assured her that a white person wouldn’t be turned away if they wanted to join a black sorority/fraternity, and vice versa.

Then she said. “Its so weird because we don’t have this in France. We are all mixed together… I see that alot here like when I walk into a room or the cafeteria, I see black people here and white people there…. I don’t like this. It makes me feel like we’re in the 20s or something. It makes me feel… I don’t know. I don’t like it. We don’t have this in France.” 

I was like yeah, it does suck huh? We should be mixed together.
Smh. Austin Peay kids!!! You suck!! Making us look bad for our foreign exchange students!!! 
This did not make me proud. = [ 

// Since when do you get called in to appeal your case just because you got wrote up for having a guy in your room past midnight??//

They used to just write you up and send you an email that basically said “Don’t do it again”. They treatin me like I’m a criminal or something.

I can’t deal with these new housing changes.
This is a waste of everybody’s time.

// Who’da thunk?//

Two pieces of literature I didn’t appreciate until my English 2030 class in college:

1. The Odyssey
2. Hamlet

I feel like I had to read these things all the time in high school, but never really… paid attention I guess. But man, we had to read this for my Lit class and something changed. Its crazy, I was CERTAIN I would dread it, and be all over sparknotes. But I actually READ them out of the book. And I loved them! [I did use SparkNotes for clarification a couple times though]. Odysseus was a G, and Hamlet was just… fye. Actually, that class enlightened me on a lot of things I would have considered boring and irrelevant in any other setting. That’s what a good professor does. 
She was like this gentle, soft spoken, smiley 65 year old white woman and she sang Puff the Magic Dragon on the last day of class.  
Dr. Weatherspoon. My nigga. lol
