tips how on to survive college? * i honestly think my brain is disintegrating*

Well, college isn't literally killing you, so surviving is probably pretty reasonable. Now, staying sane? Different story. Find a hobby. Do it in your spare time. Don't do 100% of the work given to you. Find a sweet spot that you can do the minimal amount of work for the maximum amount of grade. Worst case: lie about turning in an assignment or two. Offer to redo it if you can get extra time. Usually the professor will just wave it. Classic crime.

opinion on winter?

Heat gives me anxiety so I enjoy winter because it is cool. Also it's cool. *winter puts on its ray bans and The Who starts playing*

do you think there will be puppies in heaven?

If heaven exists, I assume that there will be spiritual creatures that occupy it. I believe that earthly puppies have no souls, but I'm sure there are puppy-like entities that would totally cuddle up while one sits on their cloud couch while binge watching 7th Heaven. Oh those Camdens.

happiest thing that happened to you today?

I got donuts and bagels at work! That was pretty fun!

favorite flower?

Roses are cool. There are so many different types. I like the red ones. And girls do too.

best place to buy discounted valentines day candy?

Heart shaped Reese’s. DUH. If your lonely enough, you can get those heart shaped packages of candies. Those are good too.Oops! You said best place? The best place is the place you are at.

i saw a quote that said, "the best moments i once lived are the ones i absolutely forgot to take pictures of" - and people always say, "don't live your life with your camera in front of your face, because then you miss life as it passes you by" - and there have even been experiments which show that "people don't remember as much when they take a picture of it, because they know the camera remembers it, so they don't have too" --- as a photographer, i feel criticized and judged because i always..

"...have a camera in front of my face and i'm on my phone too much blah blah blah. what do you think about these quotes and situations? about the amount of time people spend on iphones and laptops? i'm torn between "wanting to live my life to the fullest without a camera and enjoying the people around me" and "wanting to capture every little moment of my crazy friends and family in this amazing life i get to live" and i'm stuck. advice?" (That was the rest of it)OK OK OK!Here's the thing about quotes: A human being articulate an opinion so well that it became widely relatable. "Do or do not, there is no try." - YodaPeople will quote shit just to sound smart. But you know what, Yoda? I try all the time! Sometimes I'll leave my house and look at all of my cameras and be like "which one should I bring?" I end up choosing none of them and then regretting it because there was a great photo opportunity! Still glad I had my iPhone. There is nothing wrong with wanting to take a picture of something that is happening so you can remember it. There are people who journal their entire day to remember it later... We don't harsh those people's mellow! Plus, people are thinking so much in the moment with those quotes that 5 years from then they'll be like "man... Wish I had a picture of that day at the beach." And you get to be awesome and say "HEY! I documented that day! I have pictures! Let's reminisce!"OH! Another quote I hated was in Walter Mitty when Sean Penn's character doesn't take a picture of the leopard he had been tracking down for like the entire movie. He said "Sometimes I don't (take the picture). If I like a moment, for me, personally, I don't like to have the distraction of the camera. I just want to stay in it."That's dumb. Just dumb. Like, ok. Awesome. I get being in the moment, but it takes like 1/60th of a second to take the picture then you can have all the moment you want. I guess my advice is: Bring your camera. Take pictures. Have fun. Don't stress. Don't take quotes too seriously.

what's your take on valentine's day?

I had a girlfriend once. (Crazy I know.) I asked her to be my valentine and she replied with, "what does that even mean." I had no idea. So basically I hate Valentine's Day.

what are you most proud of in your life?

I'm not a proud man, but I really like this breadbox that I made as a 15 year old punk. I gave it to my mom as a sign of love... She just puts tea bags in if and on it. You can't see the craftsmanship whatsoever.

Siberian fir, cilantro, citrus and a touch of raspberry. ( http://www.patchnyc.com/products/stag-candle)And if I could create one, it would be that with a hint of cinnamon. Because cinnamon is dope.
