brb I'm going to go edit Harvard's wikipedia page to make sure she's included in the list of notable alumni.

She didn't lie, though. She said she attended, not that she did a 4 year BS.
Degree, diploma, certificate. Whatever. Harvard sold her a piece of paper. If they have a problem with her bragging about that piece of paper in public, then that's their own branding issue. I'm not going to reinforce their snobbery for them. I don't owe Harvard anything.
I know that the "real" HBS students are not happy with this situation because they feel someone like Tyra saying that she attended HBS takes some of the shine off their expensive degrees. But why should the rest of us care? I'm not going to make out that Tyra is lying (because she isn't) just to appease those snobs.…
True. But she also didn't say she had a degree. She only said she attended. Which is true. So if Harvard wants to sell certificates to people with more money than test scores, this is fair game. I'm certainly not going to go in to defend the Harvard brand for the benefit of people who paid more money for an elite…
Blame Harvard, though. Harvard is a private business. If they want to sell degrees to people with more money than test scores and thus undermine any semblance of meritocracy for their elite brand, that's their own problem.
Context. We're talking about kooky beliefs in LA, therefore http://www.thatcrystalsite.com/guide/properti…
I think the one reassuring thing about the LA kooks is that they're not organized enough to harass you or alienate you for not sharing their beliefs. Except maybe the Scientologists are getting organised.
The word refers either to a branch of philosophy or to a belief system that involve crystals and spirits and things.
Fear of the dark might just be instinct? Because for so much of human history, people slept at night. Our vision is made for daylight.
Maybe I'm an asshole, but I just can't stand that entire genre. It's like these Brooklyn kids think they are making great art, but what they have really accomplished is producing the literary equivalent of reality TV. I call them kids, but some of them are older than me.
Thanks. But I actually couldn't get through that piece. The navel gazing grates too much.
Share some details! I don't want to actually sit down and read her book.
Our generation's literary scene is as rotten as what came before. Our generation's men are still trying to pull the same, sexist shit. Let's hope they all get theirs in the end, though.
Your mom sounds like fun!
I think "Sweet Thing" is the only one I could get into, but I can't remember if I listened to the songs you mentioned it or not because I blocked so much of that dark period from my memory.
Meh. I have no sympathy for him after he and Emenem and what's-his-face-the-washed-up-MTV-VJ slut-shamed Christina Aguilera .
Look. We all do crazy things while under stress from a breakup. I remember when I went through the worst breakup of my life I started listening to Van Morrison. I like to think that it was my survival instinct kicking in, like I knew that whatever music I listened to during that low point would be forever tainted by…
No, the word "thuggee" was the Hindi word for a band of murdering thieves. "Thug" is the English word, thus invented by the British. http://reflectionsofindia.com/tag/thuggee-sl…
