The Marching Illini still have another game and all the rehearsals to go with it but we are bowl ineligible and I’m guessing the team will give up.

When I’m involved in marching band, have sorority responsibilities, work on the daily illini, and in charge of special events for the swing society, how am I supposed to find time for 18 credit hours worth of homework?!

All I wanted to do was hang out and talk about shit you know?

The next thing I know, all these soldiers are taking me into court, totally hassling me, calling me “a bad influence”. Total bullshit!

Then what do they do? They vote, and they all decide i should up and drink some Hemlock. Hemlock!? Come on! Stuff tastes like poison man!

Sometimes it totally sucks to be the father of western thought.

So the French Revolution winds down and I say to myself “There was some legit ideas and somebody should like change shit around here and make it more Enlightened and shit…”

So I go around and just start conquering Europe and shit. Yeah, I admit, I fucked up in Egypt. But after that it was all smooth as fuck! I was liberating serfs cause they’d be all like “We’re slave labor and shit!” And I’d be like “Aww fuck that, shit sucks. You’re totally free”. I wrote up a code! I spread that all over the damn place! And you know it was totally cash too.

So then I go into Russia, and that totally fucked me. You ever been to Russia? Fucking place is TOO cold. All them Russians don’t even care either! They were burning their damn cities just so my armies and me couldn’t even relax and shit.

So I fuck up there, and the British are being total dicks about trading with everybody and establishing colonial possessions and shit… And the next thing I know all my French motherfuckas are voting to get me kicked out! So I rally an army and I try this shit one more time…

And then Waterloo happens! Total bullshit! Those Prussian cannon dudes were cheating I swear to God. And if the weather had been different I’d totally come out on top. Total bullshit. Then they sent my ass to some island and all I could do was like write memoirs.

And now I’m dead! Sometimes it sucks to be the greatest French general in history and a champion of Enlightenment ideas.

Albert Camus (Albert Camus) says:

So I used to be like this sick little kid and I was really poor. Really depressing shit. And I decided that life was just absurd–that’s the best word to describe it.

So I say, why not write some books you know? Ask whether or not a man should kill himself or just put up with all this shit. See what happens to a man who feels no emotion.And all the while I keep telling everyone “Life is a cold and uncaring mistress. Make your own meaning toward life. Don’t just accept shit, find your own existential meaning and shit”

Totally having a good time. Won the Nobel prize so now I got a fucking cool million in the bank… When I up and die in a car crash! How sick is that irony?! Some philosophical mother fucker like me rails about how pointless and absurd everything is, and I die in the most meaningless way. Fucking bullshit!

Sometimes it is way to hard to be one of the brightest philosophical minds of the 20th century.

Recently Champaign has been experiencing extensive amounts of rain, and that poses a problem when I have to bring my laptop to class everyday. Since I have the worst luck, I went to great extents to try and protect it. No one could could predict the unfortunate events that took place. As I was getting out of the rain and walking up three flights of stairs, the strap on my laptop bag snapped, and I had to watch my brand new $650 laptop fall down the stairs. This is just one of the many unlucky things that happen to me on a day to day basis.

If that isn’t a good enough reason why it sucks to be me…I don’t know what is.

For break, I had plans to hang out with my friends and catch up since I haven’t seen them in a while. We set our plans and they said it would work. However, they just told me that they couldn’t make it because they’re going out with other people. It sucks because it feels like they don’t care about me as much as I care about them. Now there’s no one to hang out with.

My enormous capstone thesis architecture project is due Monday, November 30 - the day after Thanksgiving Break. While most students get to look forward to Thanksgiving Break, my architectural design professor blacked out “Break” on our course calendar and wrote “Production Week” in its place.

Now, instead of going home to spend quality time with friends and family and eat delicious Turkey, I’m going to be spending the week slaving away in the Architecture Building, scrambling to complete my project, which is worth 60 percent of this 6-credit hour class.

Between that project and my rapidly approaching graduate school application deadlines (for which I haven’t even started constructing my 40-page portfolio), I’m barely sleeping, let alone eating.

Some students do not pull any all-nighters during their entire college career. I have pulled at least 10 this semester, and will definitely not be sleeping too much over “break.”

The other day I spent all-night working on a project, and took a break to go to my 8am HVAC discussion class which is in the same building as my studio. I passed out in class and awoke to a pop-quiz the following period in my Steel Theory class. Since I hadn’t been home since the morning before, I didn’t have my calculator or steel manual. I got a 25% on the quiz.

I haven’t had a drink since Halloween.

Fuck! It sucks to be me.

My cat came up lame, cost me hundreds of dollars!, then the car needs a couple of hundred in work. Next my kid needs money for a project in school, and yes the same kid I helped buy a car for just a month ago. At work, I have been working a little harder because my so called, colleagues, decide they want an few days off, make that a week! To top it all off, I can’t sleep. Just can’t stop thinking about money, lack of it!, lazy ass co-workers and I am freaking tired. It sucks to be me, at least right now!

After a long day of class, I trudge home through the rain and open the door to find blood streaked all over the carpet. After completely freaking out, I turn the corner and realize it’s not blood. Oh, no. It’s the red juice from the 7 lbs of beets my roommate brought home from the Farmer’s Market that the dogs have decided to shred all over the carpet. It took 40 minutes and about a gallon of Nature’s Miracle to get all the stains out. Sucks to be me.

I was up all night writing a 10-page paper for one of my classes. I did not print it and saved the only copy on my flash drive.

I was biking home and biked over a huge pothole. I flipped off my bike and landed on my backpack.

I went home to print my paper.

I opened my backpack to find my flash drive in pieces.

I had an interview with a big company for an internship over the summer. I had good grades, good extracurricular activities, and recommendation letters. The interview was going great. Everyone was smiling at me and I knew I had the position in the bag.

The employer was in the middle of telling me what my next steps should be. All of a sudden, my cell phone rang. My ringtone is “I wanna fuck you” by akon. I forgot to silence my phone. It sucks to be me

I found out I am allergic to wheat. So what does mean: no f*%&ing rolls, pie, cookies, stuffing, homemade noodles/mac and cheese, green bean casserole or gravy this Thanksgiving (or Christmas for that matter).
Oh, and no more pizza, baguettes, donuts, cake, pastries, or sandwiches at any restaurant, ever again.
Thanks a lot genetics!

Last week, my laptop- a netbook to be exact, no longer had the pleasure of being powered by its charger because it decided not to work anymore with out any warning.
Prompting me to buy a universal electric charger that cost me over $100, which is about 1/3 of how much it cost to buy a netbook. =L
Oh and it doesn’t exactly fit right either, so my computer still doesn’t get charged unless I fiddle around with it every 15 minutes.

I live in a foreign country where I don’t speak the language,
and can’t find a job in this country or my home country after
I was laid off a year ago at the beginning of the recession.
I have a mortgage in my home country and I’m broke.

I was invited for Thanksgiving dinner with the family of my girlfriend. It would be the first time to eat dinner with her family, so I was a little nervous because I wanted to make sure I made a great first impression.

Her mom needed help carrying the 16-pound turkey to the dinner table. I quickly volunteered to bring it there myself. I was halfway there when I tripped on my own feet and dropped the turkey with all the juices and stuffing landing everywhere.

I ruined Thanksgiving for my girlfriend’s family….
