It is cold out so lets talk about the heat

Hey, so I got picked to do the listserve and I was super surprised. I was sitting in my dorm building watching a movie, Step Brothers to be precise, and as soon as I found out I shouted in the middle of the movie to my friend I got picked. All of my friends present were amazed that I was chosen to write an email to so many people!

A little bit of background knowledge on who I am before I get to my story. I am a freshmen at the University of Minnesota and have no idea what I want to do with my life. I am originally from Colorado and I love the state. I wanted to spread my wings for college so I took a tour early fall last year of the campus. I loved it, middle of a city and it had 50,000 students. I couldn’t be happier! (If you can’t tell I love people!) Now onto my story...

So being that I took a tour of the University in early fall it was a nice 50 or 60 degrees out. I assumed it would be getting colder in the Winter but I enjoy the cold so I decided I would buy a new jacket some under armor and call it good. Holy balls was I wrong! I get to the university and find out my dorm room didn’t have AC. This is no problem in January, but when you arrive to the dorms and its close to 100 degrees out that is a problem. One more problem is when you have only heard how cold it gets you don’t really pack a ton of shorts. I was partying the first night with my new roommates, we went outside and I, in all my wisdom, was wearing jeans. The combination of heat, alcohol, and the overwhelmingness of college made me pass out. My roommates saved me before I hit the ground and put me to bed shortly after. I made an instant connection with them and I love living with them now. So kids if you want a good relationship with you roommates almost hurt yourself and make them help you out haha!

That is my favorite warm weather story so hopefully you got a kick out of it. If you guys want to comment on the story I could elaborate or just laugh at your funny comments. Shoot me an email sometime, about anything at all, if I don’t get to many I’ll email you back! Shout out to my friend patrick who is also on the list serve and I will be quizzing to see if he read my email!

Bye you guys!!!!

21,612 is a lot

Hi, everyone. I'm a teenaged girl. I'm not arrogant enough to think that I know much about the world. I'm 18, a freshman in college, and I struggle every day trying to see into the future: into what might be, where I might go. Recently I've decided that my destiny in life is to be a high-school biology teacher, but ask me again later and perhaps that will have changed. One thing I feel passionate about is body modification. Somehow my standards of beauty have developed in a way that put piercings, tattoos, implants and scarification at the forefront. However, my parents have threatened to cut off their funding for my education if I modify myself in any way. I already have piercings, and though my family will never see them due to their private locations, I would love to be able to share this important part of my life with them and express myself through modification in a more public way. Essentially, they have rejected my lifestyle, and through this, they have ...

Tiny wings

Hi all, I want to write about a subject that is very close to my heart - bees! I started bee keeping last year, and have two colonies right now. These two already managed to supply my family and my friends with more than enough honey, and keeping the bees is a tremendously satisfying activity. They smell so good, and are very tidy animals, and are just very, very interesting overall. The insects' way of dealing with the world is just so very different from how we as mammals approach it - it seems almost alien. Anyways, what is probably most impressive is the workload these little animals deal with. For one kilo of honey, they visit 4 million flowers, and fly a distance equivalent of more than 4 times around the earth. Think about that for a second. And then, if you start to think about how they "furniture" their housing themselves by the wax they sweat out, how they can control temperature inside the hive to the tenth of a degree, how they collectively make decisions i...
