Chalkboard nuggets
You know, those leftover chunks of wisdom from the class that used the room before you. Sometimes they’re incomprehensible math problems, sometimes they’re in Japanese and sometimes they tell you a little something about the world. Here’s one from an Admin classroom: “Existence precedes essence.” I wouldn’t erase that either.

If you want to be happy …
… be. Get your hair wet. Color a picture with crayons like you’re still 6 years old and give it to a loved one. Do a cartwheel. Take a nap. Plant a garden. Learn a new language. Date someone you wouldn’t usually go for. Write a song. Kiss the un-kissed, hug the un-hugged and love the unloved. If you want to do something, do it. Live your life to the fullest. It’s simple, really.

Soul food
I learned a few days ago I’m going to Disneyland a week after school ends. I’m having a hard time coping with the fact that I’m more excited for Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles than Space Mountain.

Awesome
I saw a guy in a suit and tie walking down the street playing a flute, while listening to his iPod. Did I mention he was playing a flute?

Blast from the past
Going monkeybar-crazy on a vacant playground is one of the best, most exhilarating feelings ever. #argonautrecess

Thankful
After watching a few war documentaries, regardless of a person’s circumstances, I realized it is important to remember things can always be worse. Thank you to the men and women in the Armed Forces who sacrifice for everyone else.

Two weeks
I have to say, I have done a pretty good job of keeping it together through this whole going to graduate business, but when I was at the School of Journalism and Mass Media Senior Reception Wednesday and Kenton Bird, the director, said we would be walking in two weeks — it hit me. Wholey nuts, this is real.

‘You are tearing me apart, Lisa’
“The Room” is easily the greatest cinematic achievement of our lifetime. The story is a giant tapestry Tommy Wiseau weaves in front of the audience. The dialogue is memorable, the acting is subtle, and the writing — like Shakespeare, but with the heart of a lion.

Jinx
In order for someone to create a jinx the event in question cannot be an inevitable fact like, for instance, Moscow will not be sunny consistently until July.
