It was only when my English professor started replacing the "said"s with "and was like"s in my assignments that I started to question the worth of my high school diploma.

Standing at the front of the room, I suddenly realize that middle schoolers still intimidate me as much as they ever did when I was in middle school.

Because my 8th grade teacher thought I was lying to him about my name I made my one and only visit to the pricipals office to explain that, "Yes, my name is Steveie and, no, I'm not a boy".

Because I have an aversion to admitting weakness, I don't have the money to pay for next semester and my parents think it's already paid.

Of all the things for a teacher to overhear me saying in class, "chafed areola" was probably not the best, even in context.

I made a list and crossed out all the subjects that I knew right away I didn't want to major in, and in the end all that was left was Neuroscience, so I went with that.
