The Biology major offers enticing perks. I received this email today from the major’s listserv:
“Are you tired of studying alone in your room? Sick of the library? Tomorrow, Tuesday, Oct. 30 beginning at 7:00 pm, join Board members Felina and Lauren for a study session. Since everyone has to study (all the time!), why not have some company? Come to Goddard 102 anytime after 7:00 - bring your books and notes, we’ll supply some snacks. This is a great way to meet other majors and you might just find someone studying for the same course as you. Lauren and Felina plan to stay until 9 or 10 so come late, stay for a short time or spend hours!”
Woohoo! Party time!
To me, this just says: “Oh you poor Bio majors, we know you can’t make friends or participate in normal social activities, so we’re going to make a social activity out of the only thing you know how to do properly: studying.”
Would anyone seriously consider going to this? If you are “tired of studying alone in your room” I suggest you take a study break, because you need one. This event might just push you over the edge. Perhaps they should hand out CAPS brochures along with the “snacks.”

wow, once again you act like you are so much cooler and above the ” bionerds” or the “wharton tools”. Perhaps you should look in the mirror once in awhile? In the infamous words of Terrell Owens, “If he look like a rat and he smells like a rat…he must be a rat.”

You couldnt find anything better to write about than a flyer for bio students? Try picking up the newspaper. Have an opinion about something that matters. Or, if you insist on attempting humor, read The Onion and attempt to copy their style…it works for a reason.

Obviously, “skip c06″ you aren’t from Philly. Otherwise you wouldn’t quote Terrell Owens. Perhaps you should email me the link to YOUR blog where you put yourself out there for the criticism of small-minded people such as yourself and “Disgusted”. And while you’re at it, post your picture next to it and let us all critique you.

Obviously my tongue in cheek use of the TO quote wasn’t obvious enough for you (and actually yes iI grew up in Philly and am a die hard Eagles fan..you?). Also, I understand that the author is putting herself out there and that certainly takes courage but it just seems that all her posts are about her criticizing others.. just look at the last couple posts about “wharton tools” and “bionerds”. If she wants to put things out there for the public to read then recieving criticism is going to be a part of that.

Obviously you don’t get what opinion blogs are about. Opinion. If it happens to come off as a criticsm, so be it.
I’m so happy to hear you’re a die hard Eagles fan like myself! Wow! They’ll win the superbowl for sure now!
