Life As A Grad Student Vol. 8
I’m currently grading papers and I literally have a headache from the high amounts of grammatical errors and horrible flow. Reading these papers is a form of intellectual torture. And, it makes me wonder if my writing was this bad at one point in my college career? I’m sorry, but using a referenced sentence after another referenced sentence does not generate a quality paper just...

You know you're a Harry Potter nerd when:

To the creeper that anonymously messaged me asking me to message him on Yahoo Messenger…no. For one, who the hell even has a messenger program anymore? For two, if you’re user name includes the word papa, you’re probably about twenty years to old to be on tumblr.

From textsfromlastnight.com:
(703): grad school is all the worst parts of undergrad, without the binge drinking and bad decisions to make up for it
They obviously are NOT in the same grad program as myself. Grad school = acceptable alcoholism.

Life As A Grad Student Vol. 6
I’m pretty sure my school has like one parking spot for every twenty students. I just spent a good half hour circling the parking deck looking for a spot. There is like a process here. You slowly drive along and stalk people walking off the steps, then slowly follow them to their cars. If you’re brave, you can even ask if they are leaving. I find myself cursing at people a lot...

Life Of A Grad Student Vol. 5
After writing my third paper on Karl Marx and his theories, I’m hoping this is my last one for a while. Don’t get me wrong, Marx and I are boys but I need a little variety in my life.
