My teacher had a paper airplane throwing contest for us in elementary school one day. My tiny mind realized that all my classmates would make sucky airplanes, and chances are I would too, if forced to rely on actual lift and whatnot. It was outside, so it was risky to make one that could glide far, as a stray breeze was likely. So I just folded a normal airplane, then folded in the wings again... then again... then again... and so forth until I basically had made superdense paper dart with centimeter-wide wings/fusilage. Then at the time of the contest, I just whipped it at 45 degrees as hard as I could. My planning paid off... everybody else drifted one way or the other, my dart won the day. If we'd been throwing in the gym, it probably would have been different and I probably would have chanced a lift-ier design.

It.. it's like the cutest sign of our impending electronic doom that I've ever seen.

Why did that rail gun appear to have canon fire following it? Also, the trajectory was pretty wobbly on that outdoor slow motion shot.

Lol that's about right. Personally I was NEVER an overacheiver of any kind. The things they said that definitely do apply to me was the prof saying he'd assign ridiculous amounts of reading and then humiliate you during lecture<- that that a thousand times that. I have actually left class found a quiet place and cried.
And the other one that definitely applies to me is saying good bye to those As youve been accustomed to. Yeah and I am totally with the guy who said he wished he could get Bs. The As are reserved for those actual type A overachievers who would rather do homework than anything else and dream of partnership and supreme court appointment. I just want a menial state job so I am not going to sacrifice my mental health for something I dont want.
Also, me and most of my friends are now either on some kind of anti- anxiety med, see a therapist or in most cases, both. Thank you student health.
Dear 25 year old me who decided to go to law school on a whim- what are you fucking retarded!?
My oldest niece (turning 30 this year) doing a cooking show mostly as a joke or something for her mother. Personally, I've been telling her for years that her outgoing personality would serve well in performance like this. Finally seeing it in action like this (shoddy/shakey camera work aside), I'm now convinced. I told her myself on Facebook that she has more personality and presence than about 90% of the people who try to do something in front of a camera on YouTube.
