hating on twitter

The new thing now a days is twitter. Many people don't understand or like anything about twitter and can't quite grasp the ideas of tweets. To me it's something that is addicting and you can find me on twitter constantly. It' s basically like making your facebook status, but doing it numerous times throughout the day.

Many people that can be found on twitter say that it's better than facebook and some have even given up facebook. You can mention people which is commenting on their wall or a post. People think "I don't want to tweet about everything I'm doing or want people to know, " but honestly it's more than that.

You can find your favorite celebrities, artist, or even shows on twitter on follow them. It's a great way to stay connected with people and learn more about people's lives. It's less creepy than facebook, where as you can't necessarily stalk people's pictures, walls, or friends. Most of the people you follow you know, but sometimes you will get a request from a random person. It's the new thing and quite addicting. Everyone should start tweeting!

wittfest approaching

Wittfest is right around the corner and many student's are looking forward to the activities that it brings. Wittfest seems like it's the one time a year that witt parties like a big school and student's from other colleges actually come to visit instead of us leaving to go to their schools. There's day drinking, parties at multiple houses, a concert, alums coming back and much more. It's one last chance to get to party with everyone before finals and graduation.

In the past, it seems that the performer's at Wittfest haven't had a big crowd, but I believe that with Girl Talk there will be a much bigger one.With this being my third wittfest, I'm hoping it's the best. It's very sad to think that this will be the last wittfest we get to spend with the senior class, so hopefully it's one we will remember, or not.

how long will this last?

I have recently been in a fight with a family member of mine, my sister. My sister lives in L.A. and is four years older than I am. You would think she would have grown up and could be mature about things, but that definitely isn't the case. Over spring break, someone commented on a picture of her dog, calling it ugly. She became very pissed off by this comment and told me to "fuck off" because I didn't stick up for my sister, but instead my "boyfriend."

My sister and I have never gotten along that great. She's the middle child and feels like since I'm the baby my mom always takes me side. However, most of the time she's in the wrong so there's a good point of why my mom is taking my side. In this case, it's absolutely ridiculous why she's even mad at me for this. I told her over and over again I told him not to say anything and to apologize, but really it's just a dog.

My brother and sister's grandmother passed away earlier this week and they both came home from L.A, and Georgia for the funeral. This was the first time in years that we all have been home together. Did my sister say one word to me? Absolutely not. I even confronted her before we came home apologizing to her for everything and I hoped we could put it behind us in a time like this. I honestly don't understand how something this horrible could happen and you still can't talk to your only sister. Life is too short and things happen way too unexpected. Hopefully she'll learn this before it's too late.

scheduling

Scheduling for classes at witt sometimes seems pointless and impossible. I understand it being a liberal arts college that we need to take gen eds, but I find it a little ridiculous when I can't even get into my classes within my major or minor. I have had this trouble since I was a freshman and i would of thought it would of gotten easier.

It seems as any other college if a student needs in class in order to graduate or be on the right track to graduate, the professor would let them in. Here, it's not the same. I have e-mailed countless professors begging for them to let me into classes, but they won't let me in since they cap them at 15. I understand it needs to be small, but open up another section.

Surprisingly, they did open up another section for a comm class for this semester, but I wish they would do so for next year. I would like to graduate on time and actually be able to fulfill my journalism minor. So please Witt, help us out!!

least favorite thing

Scheduling classes and getting into classes is always a huge problem at Wittenberg, especially for communication classes, although i'm sure others are equally as tough. It always seems the classes I want to get into fill up right about the professors aren't allowed to let anymore students in becauase there's a limit at 13 or 15 students. If they would just open it up to 20 or another class everything would work out. I don't want to take pointless classes because I need the credits when I can't get into other class. Hopefully, signing up for classes next semester won't be a problem since I'll be a senior. My fingers are crossed!

spring break

I kept getting asked by people why I would want to spend spring break with my parents when I'm a 21 year old college student. Honestly, a week in the caribbean relaxing, getting tan, and eating good food sounds a pretty damn good vacation to me. However, this year's spring break turned out to be much more than what I expected.

My parents are a very fun set of people and like to have their share of fun. While most college students were spending their breaks drinking 24/7, I was doing the same. Just more casually. Starting the morning off with some bloody mary's sounded great to me.

The last time I went to St. Marteen my freshmen year of high school, my best friend and I were stalked and harrassed quite a bit. We were told islanders were into blonde haired girls. Well, I thought it wouldn't be so much of an issue this year, which it wasn't, but instead it was the older American men. And by old I mean 28 and 35. Which is old compared to a 21 year old. So, I just went on with my break and had as much fun as I could!

my favorite thing about witt

When I first came to Wittenberg I absolutely loved it because everyone was nice to everyone and people seemed to fit in no matter what. The people on this campus seemed to be care free and not care about what grade or age you were. It may also seem different now since I am older and made my group of friends and don't really run into a lot of people that I don't know. I thought I would love coming to a small school, but some of the time I wonder what it would be like at a bigger school.

Witt definitely offers the close feeling of family since we are such a small school. It may be bad sometimes that everyone hears everything, but I think it just makes you closer as a community to the people you are closer with. At times I always say I hate Wittenberg, but in the end I think it's a great school and has a lot to offer.
