Last semester I went to Utah State University. I had an awesome time, including pie fights, dance parties every weekend, the HOWL, and a bunch of other random stuff. This semester, I don't have much money to go back to college.
This leads me to wonder how people pay for college. Seriously, I worked full time all summer for 10 dollars an hour, and I can't make it. Lots of my other friends didn't work at all, or just worked part time, bought a laptop, or some other expensive piece of machinery, and are back up there. I just don't get it. Does everyone get super scholarships or go way in debt to go to college? If you are a college student, and have any tips on money for tuition and stuff like that, please comment and tell me your thoughts!

Awesome Albums
I really like music, but i get bored of it easily. I have to constantly be searching for new bands, new albums. I'm going to list the best albums I can think of right now, and you should all go buy them.
In no particular order listed by band first, and then album name:
Cloud Cult - Advice From the Happy Hippopotamus
Modest Mouse - Good News For People Who Like Bad News
Serj Tankian - Elect the Dead
Toadies - Rubberneck
Modest Mouse - We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank
Green Day - 21st Century Breakdown (Surprisingly Good!)
Gorillaz - Demon Days
Nevermind - Nirvana (Obviously)
I'll add more some day, but these are just some awesome albums. Also, remember to listen to them from start to finish like they were intended at least for the first time.

popular music SUCKS
Last time I went to a dance (like a week ago) I listened to the music. For the most part, I had no idea what most the popular songs were. As new songs would come on, a bunch of people would scream and be all excited, and I asked who sang each song. One time, the girl I was with said "Hannah Montana". Now I'm not bashing Hannah Montana or Miley Cyress or whatever she goes by these days, but really? Everyone is freaking out over her at a college dance? I'd think that some people had better taste then that.
Now here is a list of songs that I've been listening to recently. Some of them might be popular, I really have no Idea. Type some of these titles and songs into YouTube or mySpace and maybe you'll be pleasantly surprised at what you hear.
Oh yeah, and be warned. Some songs on this list may or may not contain explicit lyrics. Just in case you would be freaked out by that. I don't usually notice lyrics at all until I really know a song.
The list will have the title of the song, followed by the band name
1. Super - Say Hi to Your Mom
2 .Girlfriends - Singlefile
3. Drain You - Nirvana
4. Lump - Presidents of the United States of America
5. Let it Die - Foo Fighters
6. Tonight Tonight - Smashing Pumpkins
7. Sink to the Bottom - Fountains of Wayne
8. Title and Registration - Death Cab for Cutie
9. Lake of Fire - Nirvana (Cover. It was originally done by the Meat Puppets, and that version is also very good)
10. Times like these ACOUSTIC - Foo Fighters (the acoustic version is superb)
11. Soco Amaretto Lime - Brand New
12. Everybody Here is a Cloud - Cloud Cult (I highly recommend almost everything by this band)
13. Something in the Way - Nirvana ("Nevermind" album version. Have you figured out my favorite band yet?)
14. Play Crack the Sky- Brand New
15. Roulette- System of a Down (Even if you hate System you might like this one)
16. Karma Police - Radiohead
17. Don't Look Back In Anger ACOUSTIC - Oasis (The original is good, but this song just sounds better acoustic)
18. Play Crack the Sky - Brand New
19. Disarm - Smashing Pumpkins
20. Intergalactic - Beastie Boys (Yeah this song rocks)
Well there you go, 20 random songs that I like. I have no Idea how popular these bands are, but if you want new music give some of that a listen. If you want more, I have dozens more. And probably a lot of bands you haven't even heard of.

Songs I Want Played!!!!
I want to go (and hopefully am going) to two concerts this semester. I don't have much money but I still wrote a set list that I want each band to play. If they play more songs then this its okay, but I want these songs played!
The first concert coming up is the Brand New Concert and they need to play:
1. Okay, I believe you, but my tommy gun doesn't
2. Mix Tape
3.The boy who blocked his own shot
4. Failure by Design
5. Gasoline
6. Limousine
7. Jesus
8. Milestone
9. Daisy
10. Play Crack the Sky
11. Handcuffs
12. The Archers Bows Have Broken
13. Soco Amaretto Lime
14. Seventy Times Seven
15. You Won't Know
Okay, so they won't play all of these, and there is a bunch more I want them to play, but it would be cool
The other concert is obviously the Muse concert and I want them to play
1. New Born
2. Butterflies and Hurricanes
3. Hysteria
3. Stockholm Syndrome
4. Citizen Erased
5. Apocalypse Please
6. Time is Running Out
7. Sing for Absolution
8. Ruled by Secrecy
9. Unintended
10. Resistance
11. Sing for Absolution
12. Supermassive Black Hole
13. Hoodoo
14. Take a Bow
15. Knights of Cydonia
Yeah Muse will just play all those popular songs that stupid Twilight fans like, but I can wish I guess. But whatever. As long as I get to see Muse I'm okay.
