MEETING PEOPLE OUTSIDE OF ACADEMIA

whatshouldwecallgradschool:

i admit it - i have a real problem with hipsters. they are immature.

1) Pants - they seriously don’t think they’re cutting off circulation to their legs by wearing pants so tight? really?

2) glasses - i wear glasses ‘cause i need them, not as a stupid fashion statement

3) vegan/vegetarian - half of these people do this to be politically correct. lame

4) bicycles - they’ll ride bikes until they have to take kids to school (that’s if they ever grow up and join the real world). also, in some parts of the country, people drive cars for a reason (it’s called air conditioning)

5) liberalism - as the saying goes: if you aren’t conservative when you’re older, you don’t have a brain. yeah, i think that applies to them

6) indie band music - ok, some of the stuff is good. but what’s wrong with mainstream pop and rock? nothing.

ok. i’m done ranting. just so annoyed by some people right now

without a doubt, my favorite show on tv

fight for the values you wish to live your life by. believe in yourself. dream about the things that can be. dare to make your dreams become reality

i now see the advantages of not being attractive. it’s tough knowing that 99% of guys are nice to me because they want to get in my pants. all i want is a real relationship

Surprise: The Internet hates rich people

I sincerely hope the stock drops down to 5 dollars a share or lower. Those two are crazy rich and one of em denounced his citizenship. I don’t know about you, but I’m proud of this country and proud of the working class making less than 80,000 a year with a family and mortgage.” - Fr33Th1nk3r


Wow. I didn’t realize that the 80K/year was still working class. Hate to break it to this person but the median household income is 42K/year. 80K puts you in the 73%.

Oh, and poor people hating rich people? Like that’s new …
