FacebookI Need A Recess
Who decided between 6th and 7th grade I didn’t deserve a recess anymore? I motion that the new cutoff should be as soon as you get your high school diploma. Up until then, each and every high school kid gets a 45-minute recess. I would happily give up a study hall for a 45-minute recess, who wouldn’t?
One Thousand
One thousand can either be a lot or a little. It’s a little when you’re burning through Chuck E. Cheese’s game tokens at a fourth grade birthday party and have to share those tokens with a hundred other kids. But this Christmas, a thousand seemed like an endless number.
Communication Technology
An interesting topic was brought up last week in English class. To start off class my English teacher, Mrs. Marker, had each of us write a paragraph based on the idea that recent advancements in communication technologies like Facebook, Twitter, smart phones, and Skype are slowly killing human social life. It was meant to be a persuasive paragraph on whether I thought these advancements were good or bad for the future of human interaction.
Post-Season Comments
The 2011-2012 football season is over, and I can’t help but feel a little disappointed in our Husker football team. It was another average 9-4 season. I had Nebraska picked to win the B1G this year partly because of bias, but mostly due to the fact that I really thought Nebraska had a strong shot at being Big Ten champions. Such an insane thought that was.
Gluten Free
I’ve been gluten free for one week now and I have one more to go. This two week experiment of gluten free eating was my boyfriend’s idea. He has quite a few family members that have gluten intolerance so he finally decided to try it to see if he could notice a difference. And being the good girlfriend that I am, I said I’d to it too.
New Year’s Resolution
Christmas break has been great, but as it starts to wind down the feelings of dread towards a second semester of school are hitting me hard. The idea of returning back to a building where I’ll spend about 10 hours of my day is extremely dreadful. What’s even less appealing is the 24-hour routine that I will return to.

Salvaged Goods
I am a fan of salvaged goods. Back in college, we used to have a system of goods exchange. Unwanted items were left in the dormitory hall. Other dorm residents were free to snap up and repurpose the items in a new wardrobe or dorm room.
