am on my LAST LAST LAST college academic paper ever. i’m on page three of eight (eight pages minimum, twelve pages maximum), and i have already written 28 (count them, 28) pages in the last few days.

SUPER MISERABLE and ALMOST DONE and then SLEEP.

i am so tech. illiterate

Here are my questions:
1) If you had to spend 24 hours with me, what would we do?

hmmm. i suppose we would eat a lot and watch movies. thaaaaat’s about it.
2) What is your biggest fear?

failing in my goals. that covers a lot of territory, actually. 
3) What is your ideal kind of view from your bedroom window? (i.e. city lights, forest…etc)

an old, clean, beautiful city that’s upgraded itself a bit so it’s a mix of old and new but mostly old.
4) Who is your favorite Japanese celebrity?

um. i have no idea. miyazaki? that’s like, the only one i know but i like him a lot. does he even count as a celebrity?
5) What is your least favorite KPop song?

uhhh. perfection was pretty low on the list, along with some others i can’t remember.
6) What is your favorite inspirational quote?

i can’t even remember. i wish i did. but i named all of my word documents really strange things and i can’t remember what they mean. dear old lauren, damn you. use descriptive labels! no love, current lauren

7) Shorts, Pants, Skirt, or Dress? (and what kind?)

i like dresses. they’re pretty forgiving and easy to put on. i mean, they’re just really comfortable, for the most part
8) Favorite Emoticon?

>:o

it just makes me laugh every time

9) If you had to choose one favorite from EXO (12), who would it be? 

i have no idea who’s in this band.
10) What career did child-you want to have when you grew up?

i wanted to be an artist. and then i realized i couldn’t draw. then i wanted to be a witch and/or a cat.
11) If you could only drink one type of alcoholic beverage from now on.. which would it be? 


screwdrivers! and white zinfandel wine. i know that’s two, but i don’t care.

We’ve been hearing a lot about the war on women, which is real enough. But there’s also a war on the young, which is just as real even if it’s better disguised. And it’s doing immense harm, not just to the young, but to the nation’s future.

Let’s start with some advice Mitt Romney gave to college students during an appearance last week. After denouncing President Obama’s “divisiveness,” the candidate told his audience, “Take a shot, go for it, take a risk, get the education, borrow money if you have to from your parents, start a business.”

The first thing you notice here is, of course, the Romney touch — the distinctive lack of empathy for those who weren’t born into affluent families, who can’t rely on the Bank of Mom and Dad to finance their ambitions. But the rest of the remark is just as bad in its own way.

I mean, “get the education”? And pay for it how? Tuition at public colleges and universities has soared, in part thanks to sharp reductions in state aid. Mr. Romney isn’t proposing anything that would fix that; he is, however, a strong supporter of the Ryan budget plan, which would drastically cut federal student aid, causing roughly a million students to lose their Pell grants.

So how, exactly, are young people from cash-strapped families supposed to “get the education”? Back in March Mr. Romney had the answer: Find the college “that has a little lower price where you can get a good education.” Good luck with that. But I guess it’s divisive to point out that Mr. Romney’s prescriptions are useless for Americans who weren’t born with his advantages.

… What should we do to help America’s young? Basically, the opposite of what Mr. Romney and his friends want. We should be expanding student aid, not slashing it. And we should reverse the de facto austerity policies that are holding back the U.S. economy — the unprecedented cutbacks at the state and local level, which have been hitting education especially hard.

Yes, such a policy reversal would cost money. But refusing to spend that money is foolish and shortsighted even in purely fiscal terms. Remember, the young aren’t just America’s future; they’re the future of the tax base, too.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste; wasting the minds of a whole generation is even more terrible. Let’s stop doing it.

Paul Krugman, The New York Times, “Wasting Our Minds.”

Go read the whole damned thing.

see, i’m not sure how i feel about this. on one hand, yes, education costs should be lowered (i’m a huge fan of that as someone who has a lot of education ahead of them). but on the other hand, we ARE spending too much. we are trillions of dollars in debt. we absolutely need to cut back somewhere, and there’s never going to be a unanimous vote as to where we should cut back.
