Dear Professors

Dear Professors,

I realize you have an agenda that includes ruining students lives and forcing as much useless information into our brains as possible but I have a request. It would be nice if for the next three weeks you stop expecting so much out of us as students. We are in the home stretch of the semester and some of us in the home stretch of our college careers, and we won't nothing more than to study as little as possible yet still graduate. Also, I have found that you as professors seem to get together and figure out the best way possible to cause students as much stress as possible. Scheduling several tests in the same week, in conjunction with big assignments is the surest way to make sure students fail. But maybe that is your motive, make us fail, so we have to come back, pay ridiculous amounts of money, in turn padding your salary. It's an excellent plan but if will not work! We will prevail.
That is all
Senoritis.

The Job Hunt

Although I have known I'm graduating for quite sometime now I have put off the hunt for a "real job" until just recently. Maybe I wasn't ready to let go of my awesome college job. I mean really, tell me being sports editor isn't the coolest job in the world? Maybe I was just thinking that I wasn't really going to graduate and I would be able to live in the limbo that is student life forever. Either way the time has come to accept the fact that I must move on. I have sent dozens and dozens of emails to potential employers, written and rewritten cover letters and looked over my resume so many times the image is engrained in my head. I must say I'm exhausted. Applying for jobs is like a whole other job in and of itself. That makes me a full time student, full time sports editor, an intern, a part time scoreboarder for the Deseret News and a job applicant. It's no wonder that I am going crazy.

April Fools

I must say that it is pretty awesome when you can play an April Fool's joke on the entire Facebook world without actually doing anything. This happened to me today. I was wasting my time at the Chronicle office as usual, when I had to call my mom to tell her my super brilliant plan (more on that later). I being as excited as I was left my facebook account open on my computer for approximately 15 minutes while I was out in the hall talking on the phone. I come back to find my status changed, stating my engagement and several comments on my page. I got a horrified phone call from my mother about an hour later, priceless. All without having to think of, plan, and execute a joke. Thanks Mike, Bryan, Trent and Joe.
