kvetch:
v.1 (Yiddish) to complain

If the men in College Republicans looked anything like Paul Ryan, I’d give up my socialism-loving liberal ways before you could say “budget cuts.”

To my POLI 101 professor: You may want to see a doctor. Have them check for a pulse.

To answer the questions of the freshmen girls standing in front of me at Sunset Serenade: watching the Clef Hangers IS real life and no, I doubt you can get one to marry you.

UNC gets “Tar Heel Berry;” State just gets jelly.

To the freshmen using maps on your iPhones: we can still tell it’s a map. Might as well bust out your big paper one.
Hey, can you tell me where (insert mispronounced building name) is?

To the small child I saw crying in the middle of the walkway by Hamilton: we’re sad school started too.

Dear senior year: Thanks for turning me into an old lady. Now if only these young hooligans would quiet down and let me get to sleep at 10:30 p.m.

To all the upperclassmen making fun of us for not knowing our way around campus: Lay off, we just got here. Love, freshmen.

“A random fact about me is I hate when people ask for random facts about me.”

OK N.C. State, you can have your cows back now.
