The Quail

He’s a punny little bird.

Quail is a good friend of mine (his real name is like… carson or something but i’m not sure) but he is nutorious for his puns and funny sayings. This sections is named after him, but includes funny things said around campus.

… you might be a college student

If you have more than seven cans of soda/energy drink in your room that you know that YOU or your roommate would never drink… you might be a college student…

Lets see… There’s two monsters, two mountain dew Pitch Blacks, a RockStar, a regular mountain dew and a mountain dew super nova…

Hold up I drank the super nova so theres only six…

If you have more than seven five cans of soda/energy drink in your room that you know that YOU or your roommate would never drink… you might be a college student…

Nicknames… such a fasination

Doesn’t it annoy you when there’s those kids with the same name… especially when you go “Hey Taylor!” and six people turn there head and go “which taylor”. In elementary we would go ‘Taylor B.’ or ‘Taylor C.’ that just gets annoying. Ergo, Nicknames. Recently I discovered (as I was trying to tell Clayton that I needed him to text Carolyn for me since my hands were full but she’s labeled under pikachu) there are some really weird nicknames that seem to have no origin out there.

By far some of the weirder ones I’ve heard are the ones I don’t realize are nicknames until someone tells me. For instance Mistyn is a nickname of whose origin I have no clue or what his actual name is. I was introduced to Totoro as Totoro and didn’t realize that his real name was Jake until he finally went “Why the heck do people call me that??? My name’s Jake! JAKE!” a month after I met him. Then there’s Quail, whose name I didn’t know until I read his name plate on his door… I think its Carson.

Then there’s the totally ridiculous names that just stick. Like Furby (Danny)! Or Pikachu(Carolyn). Or Dragon(Deanne)… Puff the magic Dragon(Dragos from Romania)… Anakin(Jakob)…Furrie(Stephanie)…Miss Ng(Stephanie Ng)…Simon(Patrick). Then theres the ones that make since. Mills(Miller) or TJ (Thomas Jones) Etc.

If you retaliate by saran wrapping or saran “trapping” your friend’s door shut so they can’t get out… you might be a college student that just started a prank war.

Recycling for Charity? and McDonalds?

As you may or may not know. I am a huge fan of recycling… and I have been since my recycling trip with Girl Scouts. You may also know I really hate McDonald’s food… but then again I just don’t like fast food that much. HOWEVER! That doesn’t mean I hate McDonald’s 100%.

There’s a group of us at school who are collecting Alluminum Can Tabs from like, soda cans for charity. There are several charities doing this, one of which is the Ronald McDonald House Charities. We are trying to collect 2 gallon jugs worth of tabs. This is going to take a crap load of effort though. To encourage us, I’ve been wearing tabs on my necklace I wear everyday, and I keep adding until I have a good amount to put in. I’m at four since my last dump… and we have about 100 now.

You can do this too! If you already recycle, it doesn’t take but two more seconds to take the tab off your can and put it in a jar. The Ronald McDonald House Charities can be found all over the place. I have a link you can go to for more information. Why not recycle AND collect for charity at the same time? I think that’s just epic… even if it is McDonald Fast Food =P
