Have you ever reached a point in your life where you realized you have no idea what you’re doing? Well, I came to that point last night. (To be honest, I come to that point about once a semester, but each time it’s just as fresh and new and terrifying as the last.) I don’t […]

YouTube Procrastination
It’s just been one of those weeks. The sort where you don’t want to do anything but sit around and breathe. And any call to action (be it school work or real work) just makes you feel defiant and cynical. Literally. I had a test this week, but instead of spending quality time making sure […]
Fear Not: The Money
Fact: Study abroad is expensive. Opinion: That’s probably why so many students – interested or not – pass on it. Fact: There are a ton of scholarships out there that can get you on the next flight out. Embarrassing admission: I’ve never gone for any of those scholarships m’self, but let’s take a look at […]
Top Five Wednesday: My Top Five Songs, as dictated by Last.fm
I love keeping track of things. I’m somewhat obsessed with how many times I’ve seen movies, how much time I’ve spent playing video games, and how long albums are (in minutes). The order of it appeals to me. This is why Last.fm is awesome. Last.fm is an aggregator that charts how many times you listen […]
Buy/Die Tuesday: Something for everyone!

Buy: Hello Hurricane – Switchfoot. The alt-rockers return. I’ve been a fan of these guys for almost ten years, so I’m excited to see […]
Hello, Apathy.
Well kids, it’s the beginning of November…which means it’s the beginning of the home stretch, and the beginning of big papers, and the beginning of thinking OHMYGAWD WHAT HAVE I BEEN DOING ALL SEMESTER?? AM GOING TO FAIL. But if you’re anything like me, it’s the beginning of something else as well. I call it […]
Folk Friday: Jenny & Tyler
There’s a reason all the Folk Fridays so far have been male-focused: I’m very picky about female vocalists. I think that female vocals lend themselves to pretension more often than male do. Or maybe I just tune out pretentious male vocalists. Either way, I’m choosy when it comes to female vocalists.
So Many Choices
It’s that time again. One holiday has passed and another is just around the corner. Movies are once again flocking to the movie theater, hoping to grab all the attention and get the big bucks. Today will see the invasion of four brand spanking new movies. Two thrillers, a comedy, and a retelling of an […]
This Weekend Rocks: November 5-8
Guess what, guys? If you read below, you’ll get to read about communism, socialism, economics, and rock’n’roll! It’s like a USSR history course! Okay, not really. It’s just what’s happening this weekend in Norman/OKC.
Link Dropping: Gazelle
On a temporary (read: this week) hiatus courtesy of some school-related issues this week, but I thought I’d pop in to offer a site I ran across recently: Gazelle.
