Point is, I’m watching the main character Hannah dealing with life post-graduation, starting new relationships and dealing with friends. So far pretty run of the mill, although we won’t go into how uncomfortably close to home some of the things brought up hit for...

I got given a second chance and I wasted it. The universe has been throwing me all kinds of help, from Erin offering to work my shift for me to the orthodontist fixing my mouth problems so I can eat again. And I sit here and I do nothing.

I am basically recommending a lot of stuff that I have from a class centered around Masculinity Studies, but they are very good...

I want to be the kind of person who works at a problem. I just bury my head in the sand and give up immediately. It achieves nothing.

Library opinion, made rebloggable...
neil-gaiman:
I’m a graduate student earning my master’s in library science, and everyone asks me, “Why are you doing that? Libraries are going extinct because of e-readers!” Obviously, I don’t agree, but I’m curious - what’s your opinion on libraries today and in the future, and do you own an e-reader?
