In my second semester as a Fightin' Texas Aggie I came back a week later than everyone else, because I had written down the wrong date in my planner the previous semester. I walked into my classes wondering why in the world we weren't covering the syllabus, or getting to know one another, or even asking "How was your break?". I was bummed until later that evening I received an email from my professor letting me know I had used one of my two unexcused absences for the semester. I replied that I had been in class today. They replied that this was from last week. I thought it was a joke. It wasn't. Luckily I survived the semester with a 2.3 GPA.

Got laid after the howdy dance with new Guatemalan neighbor that I met couple hours earlier. The rest of my posse hooked up with her the rest of the year. I was just happy to be the first to introduce her to America.

Okay now she's still here illegally and you and your posse put 4 kids in the DACA program for the rest of us to eff with. Gig em.
