Knowing Death Grips, they'll get back together in a couple weeks. With all their erratic behavior, I really would not be surprised. But who knows, maybe it is permanent.

Please, go out as soon as you can and order a steak at your nearest steakhouse. You've been missing out.

I deleted my main Facebook about a year ago. I recently-ish made one that I don't add anybody on, but have for school stuff (like organizing group projects, selling textbooks in my school's textbook selling group, etc). I really don't miss my old Facebook, and it's not tempting to get it back since you're still using the site itself. I've found that that's the best option, but I'm sure sooner or later that I'll somehow end up on the site in full capacity.

forever and always

I lost my debit card, shiiiiiiit. I'm hoping that I accidentally left it in the ATM at the bank and that someone turned it in inside. Sooo I guess I'll call them tomorrow morning and hope that that's the case. If not, I guess I'll have to go through the process of cancelling it and getting a new one and stuff. Luckily I looked online and it doesn't look like anyone is spending my money or stealing my identity or anything yet. In other news, my summer has been pretty good so far. Went on a fun little trip to Denver with my family and did lots of outdoor activities (like whitewater rafting, which was really fun). I've been hanging out with my friends from back home quite a bit already, which is nice. I also got a ridiculously good buy on an Asos bomber jacket I found in a thrift store for 7 dollars instead of 73. Perfect size and color and everything, I had almost bought it for full price earlier. So I'm still stoked on that. And my friend just loaned (lent?) me GTA V, so I can actually play through the campaign by myself instead of just messing around with other friends' playthroughs. i go to the dermatologist tomorrow morning, no skin cancer plz

Oh yeah, also, I got pulled over by a cop for the first time while driving today. I got pretty spooked. I was just making a right hand turn at an intersection where there was a pedestrian crossing on a crosswalk. He was crossing so that he would've been facing my car's left side as I was completing the right hand turn (if you can visualize that). I took the right as soon as I could in front of the pedestrian, and I thought I gave him enough room (which, I mean, I did, it's not like I hit him or he had to stop in the road or anything) but the officer that was behind me apparently didn't think so. So the lights turned on and I was like shiiiiit, so I just pulled over on a side street and he was pretty polite and to the point explaining how I should've waited and given the pedestrian more space. I was borrowing my mom's car so I was extra worried, but after entering my license in his system or whatever he said that he didn't want to ruin my clean record so I guess he just let me off with a warning. I arguably didn't even do anything really wrong (I'm a pedestrian myself way more than a driver anyhow, I understand the importance of drivers being careful), but I guess I should just be lucky that the cop wasn't having a bad day and didn't feel like ticketing me or whatever.

True - I suppose a lot just depends on the subfield and the level of math involved. It's only a requirement for a BS (more research-oriented), and not a BA, so that'd make sense. I don't think I've seen any stats that involve calculus in my short amount of time actually reading published articles, but I'm sure it's out there.

Managed a 3.9 gpa for last quarter while working, yay! It's only gonna go down from here though I imagine, but I guess it's nice to have it as high as possible before I start taking math and take some dramatic blows grade-wise. Oh well. Someone remind me why I need to take calculus for a psych degree. :wall: :wall: :wall:

Yeah, there's a small handful of friends from high school that I expect to interact with for years to come, but you never know. I'm already seeing some high school friends changing for the negative, so who knows where they'll be in a while. I mostly just dread going home and seeing people from high school that I wasn't really friends with but I'm still obligated to make small talk with when I see them at the store or something.

Welp, academically-speaking, I think I'm finally done with my freshman year of college. I just finished a huge portfolio assignment thing for English that I had like 2 and a half weeks to work on but I started yesterday that's due in less than an hour. I've written so much in the past 24 hours that sentences just look bizarre and I'm over-scrutinizing every single thing I write. I really hope I 4.0 the class, but if not whatever. I put a ton of effort in and I feel okay with saying that I'm done working. My parents come to town tomorrow, which is when I'll start moving everything out of my room here so I can go back home. Moving all my stuff from the 10th floor where there are 2 elevators being used by everyone else who's moving out is gonna be torture itself, but oh well. Overall, I'm very satisfied with my first year of college. I met some great people and made a lot of awesome memories while gaining a bunch of good life experience. I successfully got a part-time job and did well enough in it that I moved up the ranks a bit and have a year-round position for next year that actually pays more than minimum wage! Grades for this quarter haven't been posted yet, but right now I'm holding a cumulative 3.76 GPA and I don't expect that to change too much when new grades come out next week. I also had a fair share of annoyances, disappointments, etc this year, but hey, that's life. I'm anxious for a lot of things that are going to happen next year, but I should still be pleased with where I got myself. Part of me absolutely loves summer, but another part of me really hates it. I'm hoping that my friendships from high school are going to continue on during break, and that I meet some new people as well -- but it's hard when people are growing up now and becoming so busy and preoccupied with other things. I've got some creative projects bouncing around in my head that I'm looking forward to starting, and some vacation plans that I'm also looking forward to. I'm gonna try my hardest to do some awesome things this summer that make me think "hey, I spent my time well" when I look back at the time period. I'll try my hardest not to fall into the trap of mind-numbing Internet browsing that tends to happen when I let myself get bored. Sorry for rambling. I've got a bunch of stuff on my mind, and TIF will forever be my outlet for stuff like this. Pretty wild that I've been here for like seven years of my short life. <3 u all 5eva

Yeah, that was pretty spooky to hear about. I kept hearing people mentioning SPU around campus but didn't actually find out what happened until I got back to my room and checked the Internet. I don't know anyone who goes there, but it's only like a 10 minute drive away so I know a lot of people here knew students affected. Yeah, you're really close. Luckily SPU is a pretty small campus in north Queen Anne, so it wasn't as bad as it could have been had it been in the U District. Are you guys still in school? Yep, today is the last day of actual instruction. Finals start tomorrow and continue 'til Friday. On that note, I should probably stop messing around on the Internet and finish this essay.

You can PM me a link if you want, I'd be interested in listening a bit.

What the heck? Are you a Mormon or something? How does that even happen? I mean, you can do whatever you want, but it blows my mind that you live in America and have never even had a sip of either.

Yeah. If you realistically want to quit drinking soda, don't make it a zero-tolerance-no-more-soda-ever thing. Just do it like one can a day if you drink more than that, then every other day, then only weekends, then only special occasions. I just stopped drinking soda for the most part since entering college cuz I didn't want to have to pay for it and water's free. Now the feeling of drinking soda makes my brain and body kind of guilty. Like, why am I paying extra for something that's just shitty for me anyhow? That being said, if I somehow get offered a free can or something then I'll totally take it. It's still fine every now and then.

TIF Meetup 2k14 in Seattle. but yeah I live here now and it's great. I doubt you'd have any regrets, there's a little bit of everything here. Only not-great things are the traffic and rent costs, but that kind of applies for most major cities. Let me know if you have any questions.

the Danny Brown concert went hard af. the mosh pit at that show rivaled many of the hardcore shows I've been to.

yeah that part where everyone's lives were endangered because you enabled a drunk driver was so epic!!1!

Keep us updated on the job front. I'm aiming for a BS in psych and I'll probably do grad school, but I'm curious what job you can get with a BA.

My roommate has his girlfriend from back home over for the night, so I am currently being sexiled. Some Friday nights are better than others, my friends. Edit: for clarification, this is not one of those better nights.

Adding to the pile of job-related posts, just got officially signed on for working in a student services office at my school and got my hours. I have no idea what I'll be doing, I think just answering emails and talking to people about on-campus housing stuff. I'm just glad that my previous supervisor/boss from my tour guide job seemed to like me enough to give me that position for the rest of the school year. And hey, if I like it I can probably do it year-round next year. It'll be interesting working in an office, never done that before. I'm sure it'll lose its interesting-factor very quickly though.

That's not actually him. Just wanted to ruin your guys' fun.

Yeah, but then you have to live in Estonia.
