1. Stay up late, then wonder why you're so tired for your 9am class. 2. Watch YouTube videos instead of working on your essay, then wonder why you have no time. 3. Don't say a single word in seminar, then wonder why your participation mark is so low. 4. Avoid making eye contact with anyone, then wonder why you have no friends. 5. Play addictive iPad games instead of reading, then wonder why you can never finish books for your class. 6. Eat cake every night just because you can, and wonder why the washer shrunk your cloths.  7. Go out drinking all night on a Tuesday, then wonder why your Wednesday lecture makes no sense. 8. Don't think about your school work, because if you don't think about it, then it's not real and your Professor won't fail you. 9. Pretend to do your school work, and take a break every five minutes, then wonder why it takes you two hours to read one page. 10. Have sex in a public bathroom without locking the door, then wonder...

I was originally going to title this post: "How Do You Come Up With Ideas". But I figured since I'm going to write about how I came up with an idea, it made more sense to title the post: "How I Come Up With Ideas". So why, you ask, am I going to talk about coming up with ideas? Well, because I came up with an idea in a really random way last week and I wanted to see if there was anyone else out there like me. Also, I feel like a lot of people want to know how to come up with ideas. Just Google it, and you'll find plenty, (note: do not actually Google "it"). Anyway, last week I was in a lecture (at University), and I was extremely bored. I can't really blame it all on the professor though, because I was also super tired, and probably just about any subject would have bored me. Anyway, I started to think about what would happen if someone with a gun burst in through the door, like how people would react to it. Then I thought about what would ...

Sleeping is for the weak! Today in this crazed world of ours there is no reason, nor no time, not even one second to waste on the dreaded evil called sleep! In this article you will learn about the evils of the cloaked monster waiting in your bed. Yes! In your actual bed! Read on, young one, to learn about one of societies greatest evils. Sleeping is promoted as being "healthy" and "good for you". Yeah, I bet next your gonna tell me that doughnut isn't "healthy" either. I mean honestly, they expect us to believe that lying in bed for eight hours doing absolutely nothing, is healthy? No wonder people are fat. If we moved all night long  no one would be fat anymore. But no, we have to rest our brains. Does the heart need resting? Do the lungs need resting? No. They work all the time, and they're just fine. I think the people who tell us sleep is healthy, just have deals with all the mattress companies.  One of the evils sleep bestows on peopl...

So apparently if you look almost anywhere on the internet about losing weight, there are a bunch of people telling you if you want to lose weight you absolutely must cut carbs (carbohydrates, for all you who don't use short forms) completely from your diet. In other words, carbs are the reincarnation of the devil designed to make you fat. Even supposedly healthy carbs like oatmeal, and whole grains, are just evil carbs pretending to be healthy. Some will even say you can eat as many calories as you want (I wish), and still lose weight, as long as you don't eat any of the dreaded "c" word. Seriously? Come on, people! Losing weight is supposed to be about becoming healthy, fit, and happy. Not trying to look like a skeleton with flesh who doesn't enjoy eating because all they do is worry about how fat something will make them. Okay, I know some of you are probably thinking, but what if they do like not eating carbs?  Well, let's think for a minute about w...

You may be thinking as you look out your window, it's summer time. It's still warm. Why is she going to talk about fighting off the cold and staying warm?  Well yes, it's true that it is still very warm out people, but that's how the cold wants you to think. It wants to lull you into a false sense of security. Making you think it's not going to be cold for a long, long time. Maybe never. But it will get cold, mighty cold, again. Which is why you need to learn how to fight against the cold, and win. 1. Blankets. Blankets are your best friend, and the cold's worst enemy. Sure, you can use things like a measly heater , but what happens when the power goes out? You also can't carry a heater around your house with you. But with blankets, you can take them anywhere, and you can wrap yourself up so tight that you can't move a muscle, and have to roll or waddle around your house. But are you cold? I didn't think so. 2. Heaters. Despite the cold's obv...

So I've been doing a lot of thinking lately, well, and also a lot of procrastinating (mainly because of the whole comfort zone thing, but that's another post), and I've been thinking that we should think of life as a video game. Not in the sense that we should go out and shoot people and steal their cars like in Grand Theft Auto, but by adopting the same mentality that you have when you play a video game, to other aspects in life. I am also not saying that you should not be aware of the consequences of your actions, as what you do in real life matters greatly, and what you do in a video game does not matter at all outside of the video game. What I'm saying is you should have the same approach to how you think about each situation. When you play a video game, you know that there is a way to beat the video game and win. Whether it is a role playing game, an arcade game, or an insanely evil game like Shift 2, you know that even if you don't know how to win, that ther...

When people start a blog, or even when they've had a blog for awhile, they often hit the question: What should I blog about? Well, the truth of the matter is that you can blog about anything as long as it is interesting to someone, and you have a knack for writing. But here is a look at the different types of blogs, or posts that you can make, to get you thinking about what you'd like to do. Fashion Blogs Fashion is something that is popular with a lot of people. People often wear clothes, and a lot of those that do like to be in the fashion know, and have the latest outfit. This can be good for you, if you have good fashion sense, and want to keep up with current fashion trends. But if you don't, you may want to pick another topic. But if you do decided to choose this topic, you can write posts that describe your outfit for the day and how you put it together, what accessories match with which outfits, outfits for special occasions (Christmas, wedding), and lots of othe...
