colloquialism

I went to Univ. of Texas and my roommate would stay up literally all night to make decorations for her sorority...something or other. And she had uplifting religious scripture hanging all over the walls.

You should have come to Tulane— We had a big menorah on the quad each December.

I find it irritating too. College dorms aren’t supposed to be pretty. They’re supposed to be weird and filled with ephemera collected here and there that gives people an idea of your personality. This room looks like it’s housed by girls who deny that they poop and fart, which means they are also probably annoying.

Must be nice to be an independently wealthy freshman at college. Oh wait, you bought that on credit or have shitty parents? Ah, right.

Still v. glad I didn’t go to college in the South

I’m a little surprised to be feeling so much “Nope” over this.

Gymnasts who trained under the Karolyis (I believe some of the magnificent 7) have said that they were limited to 800 calories a day, which is even scarier when you think how much they had to be burning. They said that the men’s gymnastics team would sneak them food at the olympics. Can't wait until Marta is gone.

There was a joke around the time of the ‘96 Olympics:

OH MY GOOD GODDAMNED GOD. Why wouldn’t she cut her toenails on her own damned bed??? YOU would have been justified in locking HER ass out of the room for that bullshit, not the other way around. I don’t think telling your RA qualifies as narcing in this instance.

you’re not wrong. one of my oldest friends lives in NOLA and the media coverage of this was sho shitty this weekend (while i was out of town and didn’t have much internet access) i didn’t know this was happening. then, when i found out, i thought it was in NOLA because, still, little to no coverage, so he’s been…

She did it in retaliation because I yelled at her after I caught her cutting her janky toenails on my bed a day or two prior. I mean, I could overlook her constant playing of U2's “Joshua Tree” and I could overlook her weird obsession with real life princesses (Princess Di and Crown Princess Masako watched down on me…

We essentially had a fight the previous day. I walked in on her cutting her toenails on my bed which is, as Tommy Haverford would say, “an oh-no-no.”

I was in a similar situation once in college - my roommate locked me out two nights in a row during finals week. I mean, there wasn’t a gold medal on the line, and she wasn’t hooking up (rather, she was a pretty rigid evangelical who thought holding hands was “too fresh”), but I immediately narced her out to the RA.

We are not below sea level. We are over an hour from New Orleans. All of this peanut gallery commentary about how ppl shouldn’t live here is a ridiculous outrage. Yes global warming is a real problem, but guess what? People have been living here LONG before global warming studies emerged. Everyone should just leave?…

This is all very sad :( Having never been to Louisiana, I could be wrong, but isn’t this entire area like right at or just below sea level? IDK, seems like not the best place to have such a large population.

New Orleans is dry, the area being flood now is not the same area that was devastated by Hurricane Katrina. What’s flooding now is lots of places that sheltered people who fled NOLA after Katrina hit.

At least the current President is actually doing something instead of flying over in Air Force One and waving.
