I Love Charts: Conclusion →

ilovecharts: Yesterday we posted a chart to which some people took offense. One person took the time to write us directly with her anger about the chart. I took exception to her tone and disagreed with her assertions and regrettably fell into one of the more simple traps of poor communication, writing a … I can’t believe I read this entire post…but I’m glad I did. It...

Splinters scare the shit out of me

It’s not like they actually hurt or anything, it’s just the idea that there is something under my skin that terrifies me.

Creativity

I think that we’re all born with a natural propensity for creativity. All children, no matter how boring they end up becoming later on in life, make up wild stories and dream preposterous dreams and escape the narrow confines of reality. But as children grow up, face what grown ups claim to be “THE REAL WORLD” and turn their backs on “THE REAL WORLD (plus the expansion...

It's kind of sad

how I know that as far as personal attributes go, beauty isn’t all that important; that kindness and intelligence; wit and character; curiosity and inventiveness; empathy and composure; professionalism and confidence are all much more valuable virtues than physical attractiveness will ever be. However, it still stresses me out so much when I break out really badly or I feel bloated or...

Hey

You’re coming to visit me during break for the first time ever. Actually, this might be the first time ever that we’ll hang out without the stress of finishing some assignment lingering over our heads. That’s kind of weird.

Ask me for advice

And I will tell you time and time again not to let yourself fall victim to this trend of validating your self worth based on other people’s comments about you. But reading through the fifty four messages that I never answered, finding nice messages and having people be interested in my life, still brings me comfort, even if all the messages are old. In theory, I think that formspring is a...

“Love is joy. Don’t convince yourself that suffering is part of it”

– Paulo Coelho (via teri-isms) Love is joy, but loving someone is a process, and you won’t always feel perfect love towards them. The suffering does not come from the love itself, but from instances (miscommunications, breaches of trust, distance) when love is challenged.

smath kid problems #85

gingersfluffy: smathproblems: When people from your home town think that you are a genius and tell you that you will get into your dream college. In reality, you know that you won’t. sadlife… The great thing though, is that everything ends up working out just fine. If you told me that I’d end up at UNC 4 years ago I would have been horrified, but (other that its size) I think that...

ntrs-strch: To think that I recently asked a question on Tumblr on this sort of topic.

Also, this sounds bad but

It really annoys me when people who haven’t been keeping up with things in class ask me for my study guides. It’s even worse than putting up with them bringing down study sessions. It would be different if they were inherently dumber or something, but the thing is they’re basically as capable as any of the people that have A’s in the class, they just don’t try as...
