It’s interesting that, on snowy slushy days, my best bet in the footwear department is not to wear my flat boots, which have almost forced my toes to succumb to frostbite three times in the past three days, but instead my red high heeled wedges, which keep me elevated high above the wetness. Shoes just keep ya guessing like that, that’s why I love them.

I was having a few legally-purchased beers (YES) with a friend yesterday, and we started talking about girls. He’s a pretty good looking guy: tall, big toothy smile, southern accent, etc. He’s dating an attractive girl on the swim team. Also, he is thinking about breaking up with her.
“Why?”
“I…
In other words, quality over quantity. Well-said, really.

Perfect excuse to drag your bums down to New Orleans. Apply. http://foburgneworleans.com/band-application/
nd then I realized at that moment that New Orleans was not an American city, it was a Caribbean city. Once you recalibrate, it becomes the best-governed, cleanest, most efficient, and best-educated city in the Caribbean. New Orleans is actually the Geneva of the Caribbean.”

Why did you choose to attend Tulane University? No offense to the city of New Orleans, but there are many other fun and non-hurricane crashed places to go to school.
Fat scholarship and intrigued with the city; it’s really a strange and beautiful place. You can’t take any of it at face value and in my two years there so far I think I’ve only experienced about 40%. Also, my second choice was UCSD, and I didn’t like it there. With my scholarship, I pay about as much for Tulane, a private school, as I would have for UCSD, which is public, and I get the private school’s more personalized touch and perks.

A lot of idiots go to my school.
Why are your hands so manly? Do you find if hard to find rings that are styled for women to fit your gargantuan hands?

Okay so I’m reading this web page as I’m cramming for my final and I notice that, although the author of this article is clearly an educated man, he has written “looses” instead of “loses”. In my humble opinion, that is a very easily spotted error. Tsk tsk.
What are you studying, and are you an A or B student?
I’m double majoring in Finance and Management Entrepreneurship, with a specialization in Energy (recently decided on). I’m also minoring in French. I got one B in my freshman year, and I’ve gotten a handful of A minuses since then as well. It amounts to either a 3.87 or 3.9, hopefully it will go up after this semester abroad. Don’t be too fooled by what I’m studying; I’m only doing suit for a little while to make some $$.. And then I plan to just do Soz. Stay tuned, if you wanna.
PS: Ironically, I’m answering this question instead of studying for my Financial Markets midterm that’s in one hour that I feel semi-unprepared for.. Whoopsies

Okay so I’ve only read slightly more than half. But that’s just off BBC’s list. Many of these books I’ve been meaning to read over the years and others I haven’t even heard of. My book consumption level (with the exception of living in Paris for the last four months) is normally exceptionally high, so I’m not too worried about it..or worried at all. I used to read chess strategy books in 5th and 6th grade, why aren’t those on this list??
why you always so fancy? don't you ever feel like shorts and flip flops?
Absolutely not.
