My boyfriend’s co-worker had a stoke/seizure/??? which through an odd series of events caused my boyfriend and I to have tickets to a play about a gay baseball player’s coming out story which supposedly features full frontal nudity…

So what if I have a final exam and a paper due tomorrow morning for a class…

To be fair, while the Monkees performed the original, it was written by Carole King. But it is a beautiful song, no doubt about that.

You’d think that by the time someone is a junior in college they’d be smart enough not to start their 12 page research paper before 12 hours before it is due.

Little kids aged less than 4 give me the shits; life would be good if I could be cryogenically frozen until they are all older than 8.

You’d also think that a senior would be smart enough not to turn in an entire article from the New Yorker as his portion of a group-based senior thesis on immigration law.

The shit really hits the fan the professor, who is the head of the department, fails to recognize the plagiarism and passes the paper on to the dean of the college because he was so impressed with it.

Did the article include any of the New Yorker’s signature umlauts over successive vowels (e.g. preëmpt, coöperative)?

I like that in the Swedish Church, gay marriage is allowed, but you can be refused if you want your father to lead you to the altar.

Existential crisis

An existential crisis is a moment at which an individual questions if their life has meaning, purpose, or value. It may be commonly, but not necessarily, tied to depression or inevitably negative speculations on purpose in life (e.g., "if one day I will be forgotten, what is the point of all of my work?"). This issue of the meaning and purpose of human existence is a major focus of the philosophical tradition of existentialism. An existential crisis may result from, be misdiagnosed as, or be com...

We are a fluke of the universe. We’re here, then we’re gone. It’s as simple as that.

In a few decades, you’ll be dead. In a few centuries, no one will know any of us existed. In a few billion years, the sun will overheat and destroy everything mankind ever did, and will do.
