Obvi just jelly cuz I speak in abbrevz

I'm sitting on an obscenely comfortable red couch in the Hogwartzeh Doheny Library (here at the scenic University of Southern California, TELL 'EM WHAT THEY'VE WON, BOB), watching the sun go down through the stained glass windows.
May I just say?

Sometimes, when you've figured out a way to temporarily ignore your "priorities"
and "responsibilities"
and "children",
life is gorgeous without you having to do anything to it at all.

Y'know. Just looky no touchy.
It's like Cinnabuns.
You can just smell it and be fulfilled.
(...And then tear that shit up with yo' mouf)
(...This concludes my greatest figurative food-to-life parallel to date)

------------------------------------------------------------------------

ANYWAY.
What I really wanted to do is pop my head in a give you a lil' quiz.
Cause it's midterm season and I'm feelin' sadistic.

Complete the sentence with the appropriate phrase:

Life is like a bag of phallic lighthouse gummies.
You never know what you're gonna...

A. find in the parking lot of your local WalMart
B. need to stay warm while you get beamed up, Scotty
C. give as a gift at Darth Vader & PacMan's baby shower
D. USE YOUR NEWFOUND POWER OF 400 BABIES! ....FOR.

You have twelve minutes.
Starting eleven minutes ago.

Hint: No.

Were you the one who wanted $1,000 and a free phone?

No?
Oh, well. As long as you're here.
Wanna do me a favor & have it, anyway?

You remember that Road Trip that Seventeen sent me on?
WELL. Now Seventeen wants you to have your own road-trippeh good times.

So, y'know. Seventeen's just giving away:

"That's what I feel like I have to be to get into my dream school,"
or
"That's where I feel I need to be to succeed these days,"

Raise yo' hand.

Community service vs. Community sex

SO BASICALLY.
When I'm taking these stupid-long breaks in blogging, I'm still collecting links and articles and whatnot that I want to share - some college-y, some DEFINITELY not. Since a lot of former-F15 readers hang out here (Lemme hear you sccrrreeeeaaaaaam), I'm gonna be servin' you up two things:

• One thang that tickles your college fancy


• & One thang that, y'know. Just tickles.

Article I: Colleges Tell You What They Want, What They Really Really Want

So, I'm obsessed with this Gen-Y blog, Y-Pulse, right? (Heads up - it's where I get alotta college-sensitive shtuff)
Not too long ago, my homegirl Casey wrote an article I wish I read before applying to college.

DoSomething.org surveyed 25 of the Top 50 Colleges in the US about applicants doing community service.
Now,

• Didju know that colleges would rather have you do a lil' somethin for years than a big somethin' for a month?
  
• Didju know that comm-service is 4th in the list of factors that'll put you at the top of the pack?
  
• Didju know that throwin' in words like "passionate", "commitment" and "dedication" perks the ears of he-who-holds-the-ACCEPTED-stamp?
  
  Oh, you didn't.
  Wellnowyoucan.
  (P.S: Scroll a bit - see somebody you recognize? ;])

Article II: Hi, I'm Berna. Now Put Your Tongue Down My Throat

EXTRA, EXTRA: There is a huge sexual revolution goin' on and it's getting extra hot in Chile (IhadtodoitIhadto)...

But, says the NY Times, those who are partakin' are probably younger than you.

I mean, dzang - I thought "Git Low" started a freakin'-grindin'-body-rollin' revolution here in the states.
Nothing compared to what these barely-adolescents are gettin' down with during their late-afternoon rave fests, where minors get together and "Poncea" - make out with as many hormonal mofos as they can.

Break out 'cho Binaca.

Read the article, shift uncomfortably in your seat, and then tell me:
How do you feel about sex basically becoming as common as getting braces amongst adolescents?
Do you think it's good or bad social progress?
Is there real liberation in becoming sexually free, or is there just herpes?

Whisper it in my intrawebz ear. ;]
