every college thesis should discuss how and why this is the greatest video in the entire filmography of the human race
I walked into a lab one time, feeling like I was on deaths door, and the TA took one look at me said “As long as that’s not a hangover, I’ll cover for you.”
I said “Believe me I WISH this was a hangover” he marked me present and I immediately went home and slept for 2 days.
Hey students, here’s a pro tip: do not write an email to your prof while you’re seriously sick.
Signed, a person who somehow came up with “dear hello, I am sick and not sure if I’ll be alive to come tomorrow and I’m sorry, best slutantions, [name]”.
Interviewer: where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Me: I used escapist fantasies as a coping mechanism to get through years of trauma and therefore never learned how to plan for a real life future

Okay!!
Three facts about agriculture:
Agriculture in the US makes up over 20 million jobs. I’m not sure about other countries, but I would argue it was that amount or more easily.
From an education standpoint we look at it as Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources. They are all things that are so interconnected you can’t have them without each other.
The average age of farmers worldwide is 60 years old- in the U.S its 55. This could have major implications for food security in the future unless a whole lot of people worldwide decide to get involved in growing food.
Plus a bonus fact:
There are +9 million dairy cattle in the US. Each can produce 6-7 gallons of milk in a day.
There’s a disturbing lack of agriculture content here.
I just want dark wooden floors and an impressive book collection.
and persephone is back to getting dicked down by hades in the underworld
Bad Writer. Occasional Artist. Big fan of agriculture.
