i’m doing this because it allows me to better deal with the things i hate when i write them down.
1) league of legends.
2) people who play league of legends.
3) people who play league of legends and YELL AT THE TOP OF THEIR FUCKING LUNGS because they’re fucking addicted. (i wonder who i could be talking about here….) anyway, the thought that i’ll be a productive member of society who has a social life and hobbies while they’ll continue to waste away comforts me enough to not dwell on this any more.
4) REPUBLICORP. (i seriously shouldn’t say more because my blood will begin to vaporize). But I will say this: I realize “hate” is a very strong word. The other things on this list I don’t really “hate”…. I’m kind of joking. Writing about things makes them seem not as bad, and this is a sort of weird way that I deal with them. But in all seriousness– I hate republicorp.
5) Biochemistry. Specifically, the UW-Madison biochemistry undergraduate curriculum. More specifically, the science gradient that exists between physics and biochemistry. It weeds out the students that try to major in it but can’t, and it destroys the souls of those who manage to hang on by overworking them into the ground. And if grades were money, we’d be getting paid twelve cents an hour by TAs who believe they’re giving us corporate CEO bonuses.
6) my job… thanks to Jad and Robert for making it bearable.
7) PhDs. From what I’ve gathered from my experience, writing a dissertation must be 10% research and hard work and 90% an exercise in pretentiousness. Okay… so you know more than anybody in the world about presbyterian criminology or theoretical buddhist art or poop genetics or molecular sociology– too bad they don’t offer a PhD in anti-jerk studies.
8) video games… like league of legends.
9) people who get legitimately mad at each other by not doing the appropriate strategies or whatever when they’re playing as a team on league of legends.
10) leprechanus
