Colin, 18, Gay, Pennsylvania. (Now that we've gotten that out of the way...)
If you like Will and Grace, Doctor Who, Sherlock, Disney, Harry Potter, Nerdfighteria and/or hot men, you should totally follow me. (That is not to say I'm a hot man. You can make that decision for yourself)

She totally counts), Charlotte Corday, Bonnie Parker of Bonnie and Clyde, Amelia Earhart, motherfucking Hypatia, Sophocles, Georgia O’ Keefe, Frida Kahlo, Mary Cassatt, Mother Teresa, Joan of Arc, Marie Curie, Clara Barton, Alice Paul, Margret Thatcher, Eleanor Roosevelt, Ladybird Johnson, Michelle Obama, Mamie Eisenhower, Abigail Adams, Harriet Tubman, Indira Gandhi, Princess Diana, Julia Child…
Okay, running out of steam. I’ll come up with more names later and hate myself. Sure, there is a stronger male presence in history but that is because OPPRESSION WAS TOTALLY A THING.

So I Met The Guy Who Wrote My AP Euro Textbook
He lives in my town–Dr. Jackson Spielvogel–actually just a few blocks away from my house. He wrote Western Civilization, which is one of the very few textbooks used for AP Euro and it’s really awesome.
Anyways, because he lives in town he came to visit my AP Euro class today. He’s a very nice old man, buys a BMW for all his grandchildren on their 18th birthday (that kind of shows how much money that he makes from this textbook).
We got to ask questions, and I diligently raised my hand and asked “Since J.K. Rowling is a British author, would you ever consider including her in the next editions of your textbook?”
Evidently he loves Harry Potter and will definitely make an effort to include Harry Potter in the modern culture chapter in his next (ninth) edition.
AP Euro
Got up the courage to look at my grade. Final grade for the semester an A. :D
I start AP Gov next Monday, should be a much easier course.
MY FINAL AP EURO GRADE IS IN MY INBOX

It goes without saying
This homework could be going a little better
Can it be Thanksgiving Break yet.
Please.
I could be studying for AP Euro
But instead I’m going through my GIF folder and labeling each one of them. Here’s a preview.
How I feel in the hallways at school:
I was actually contemplating the benefits of us having a new plague in AP Euro the other day.
I’m just awkward everything…
(via most-awkward-moments)
Okay.
I’m going through a mini crisis right now.
I don’t have a date. I don’t plan on having one at anytime in the near future. Not exactly of my own choosing, but, I go to High School in Central Pennsylvania. Options = Limited.
Anyways. I’m freaking out because IF I had a date, I don’t know what I would wear.
What do guys WEAR on dates. Winter? Spring? Summer?
And I’m afraid I’d sleep through it.
And… And…
I have Euro Homework.
SOMEBODY TELL ME WHAT TO WEAR ON MY NONEXISTENT DATE
