Things I've Learned in College Part 11

- Isaac Asimov quotes from episodes of Mad Men apparently go a long way: "We are flawed because we want so much more yet we are ruined because we get these things and wish for what we had."

(I've had this quote repeated to me at least five times.)

-A class like "Politics of Inequality" will always consequently suffer from a handful of self-masturbatory fart-sniffer.

-In the year 2010, I find it odd that the term "ghetto" is still an acceptable phrase.  I heard three people use this term in the above mentioned class, and I almost raised my hand to contribute to this discussion (partially because I didn't really know what my white privilege-y ass, and partially due to the fact that I had relatives that actually suffered through real life ghettos).

-But then again, I thought it would be better of me to write down snarky comments and observations in the margins of my class notes instead.

-Self awareness: What I really learned in college was how to multitask paying attention and writing notes for my blog during class.  This blog will self destruct in five seconds.
