I love when a semester is coming to an end but I always have problems choosing the right professors for the following semester’s courses. Nothing is more frustrating than asking your friends about certain professors, only to find out that neither one of them know who you are talking about. Finally a girlfriend referred me to RateMyProfessors, which is a website dedicated to student reviews of professors. After locating my school and the professors I was interested in, I was able to choose an instructor based on the comments written by his/her past students. This does not only extend to American universities, but also Canadian and European institutions. It’s a great site which is easy to navigate and really helps in choosing the professors which suit your learning style. Look it up and don’t forget to rate your past professors!

I love the internet because you never know what you will come across or what you’ll learn. While doing my regular web surfing during another boring lecture at school, a classmate directed me to a certain website that gave me the giggles. If you were one of those who thought that one of the differences between men and women is that men urinate/pee standing up and women don’t, well this might surprise you. There is new gadget called GOGIRL which is a reusable, silicone device with a short funnel. It eliminates the need to squat in the outdoors and use dirty toilet seats when you’re at a restaurant, club, on a trip etc. GoGirl seals to the woman’s body and allows her to pee without sitting or squatting. It comes in a small tube with a bag and tissue and sells for a relatively low price. This has got to be the weirdest and funniest gadget I’ve seen this year, but I do think that it’s a good investment for women though
I just don’t get it. Your weight always seems to be the concern of everyone but yourself. If you’re under a certain number, you’re too small and might be anorexic; if you finally reach the ideal weight that you want, you’re fat. Who set those standards and forgot to send me the memo? You may not have the flattest stomach and love your new shape but of course to some people you’re either fat or there’s something else going on that they just have to investigate
It’s even more annoying when these people decide to spread rumors and you now get phone calls from your friends who want to know what’s going on with YOUR body. Whatever happened to ‘Live and let live’?
I only heard this song today and just by the name I was already turned off. My friend asked me to simply listen to it and I’m glad I did. Coincidentally my professor brought this song up in class today and I don’t need to tell you about the length of the debate we had. Ludacris talks about the double standards for men and women that exist in our society. “If men sleep around they’re some playas but for women they be saying ‘hey ho’. Now how true is that!
Yesterday I met this lady who just happens to be a little person and all I could do was gawk at her as she moved around. I don’t know why becauseĀ I’ve seen little people before, but I seem to stare without realising that I’m doing it or until someone else points it out to me. We all know it’s rude to stare but what if you’re not aware that you’re doing so? I felt so bad because at one point she was staring at me too! Luckily she didn’t get offended and only smiled but if it was someone else with a mean temper I probably would have had my head chewed off. I don’t know if I’m ‘amazed’ by some people and I know what I do makes others uncomfortable but I don’t even know how I start or how to stop. Any suggestions?
