Day Four - Good college

Event of the Day
Most of my life is spent in what I call bad college, where homework and boredom dwell. Occasionally, however, I am reminded that every once in a while, good college comes around the corner. Usually good college only lasts a minute or two, and then bad college yet again rears its ugly head. It is these all too brief moments of good college that keep me going. Today was rife (definitely one of my favorite words) with good college experiences. One of my favorite parts about college is that teachers hold less power. Up through high school, if a teacher directly told you to do something you did it, or else you were labeled as a rebel. Today, two people stood up to the teacher, and it made me laugh. First, there was a guy in my biology class who decided to leave a few minutes early. The professor caught him and told him to just wait a minute. The second the professor turned away, he proceeded to walk out the door. When my professor turned around to find the student gone, his flabbergasted (also one of my favorite words) look made me chuckle for a while. In my next class - an arduously boring student success class - the teacher was poking fun at a comment a girl in the back of the class made. How often have you forced yourself to laugh along, when you'd rather retaliate at the person that's making you out to be an idiot? Well, the girl replied, "Yeah, freak you." I'm not sure what's funnier, the fact that she retaliated, or that she actually used "freak." Now, I don't condone being a jerk to your professor, but it is refreshing to see normal people - meaning not that guy who always smelled like drugs and wore a bandanna, and you'd never talk to him because he'd give you that "why the crap are you talking to me?" look when you'd try - not take a professor's crap because they're tired of it. I certainly wish I would have had the nerve to do that a few times. By the way, the other good college moments of the day included talking to my friend Michelle, catching two girls looking at me (hopefully it's because I'm hot, and not because I had something in my teeth or something) during Biology, and making a pretty keen joke in my student success class.

Tip of the Hat/ Wag of the Finger
My tip of the hat goes to Cinnamon Life cereal. I think Life is a very unique cereal, just like cereal is a unique part of life. It doesn't really float, it just kind of hovers near the surface, providing brief glimpses of the sugary, wholegrain squares lurking below. It also kind of breaks apart really easy, and isn't very crunchy. For a long time, I am sorry to say I let Life's differences get in the way of me eating it. A couple days ago, I decided to give Life a chance. I had a bowl of Cinnamon Life, and realized that my past prejudice had kept me from a life of true breakfast fullfillment. I look forward to a life full of Life for now on. My wag of the finger goes to the guy who was wearing the same jacket as me today. I know I have style, but this is just ridiculous. I have one - one! - jacket that makes me feel like I'm cool, and he stole that part of me today. The only thing that helped me get through this catastrophic event, was the fact that he was wearing it fully zipped up, while I kind of had the 1/2 zip thing going.

That Other Gender
Last week, I explained the ambiguity of rating systems in this segment, but today I look at something that everyone can agree on, the Celebrity Top Five. Without further adeiu, here are the lovely ladies:

5. Scarlett Johansson - Her prestige goes without saying
4. Jennifer Anniston - I actually don't know why I like her so much, but she is attractive
3. Natalie Portman - hot AND in Star Wars, 'nuff said
2. Reese Witherspoon - great looks, and I always fall a little in love with any character she plays
1. Jessica Alba - I actually haven't seen a whole movie with her in it, but for goodness' sakes, she makes me want to see Into the Blue, and I don't even know what it's about!

In case any of these women compose part of my readership - just leave a comment, and we can go out to a movie (maybe one that you're in???) and have dinner sometime. Call me.
