August already?

I am just a man, one who sometimes gets annoyed by the little things in life and
likes to bitch to his friends about it in a comedic way, and with the summer slowly winding down, allow me to rant. I cannot wait for senior year and am looking forward to moving in and sharing some drinks with some good friends and enjoying my last year of school, there is something sad about the summer drawing to a close.

June and July have now turned to August and back-to-school ads are starting to pop
up in publications everywhere. Are we really ready for the freedom of summer
to end and the school year to start again? Coming back from Los Angeles
(which was a glorified vacation, no matter how hard any of us worked) and then
taking the summer off (I am quite lazy, more on that later) I have not done “real”
school work or “tried hard” since last December. I know that once classes start
I will be in for a rude awakening and unfortunately, we only have three
weeks left. The great weather, girls in bikinis, July 4th, everything just seems better
in the summer.

I want this vacation to last. I want to keep sitting on a couch. I want to be able to day drink and not feel bad about it. I do not want to feel obligated to go to some trivial class and listen to some lame lecture from a tenure-seeking professor. So rejoice in the last few weeks of summer, bathe in the last few rays of sunlight, and stay thirsty my friends.

The Urban Effect. That’s what I’m calling it – when someone is clad in all Urban Outfitters Apparel. It’s not that bad now, but it’s only the beginning of August. Come the first day of classes, you’re gonna see bitches wearing spray-on jeans, dudes in lame graphic tees, and way too many cardigans.

I’m not saying that I’m the first one to use the term, but with the new Ithaca store, it needs to be said. Wearing good-looking clothes doesn’t make you good looking. Don’t assume that spending outrageous amounts of money on hipster clothes will make you look cool, you look like an idiot and you’re $200 poorer for it. Pretty soon every chick around campus will be looking like this;

except less creative. And more pathetic.

Take Friday night for example. Decent party, plenty of Busch and Marlboros. But then I saw some chick from my anthro class looking like an Urban model without any of the makeup or good looks. Just the clothes and her being too drunk to pull it off. Dress normally, bitch. Then the cops came.
