In other news, I think it’s time for more Twitter highlights and commentary.
My child developmental psychology instructor apparently thought it would be a great idea to integrate Microsoft Word Art, rainbow gradients, and the font Comic Sans MS, all in one slide in her Powerpoint presentation during lecture. For those of you who aren’t aware already, these three elements are probably the top three worst things you can possibly use when designing anything that doesn’t belong in a day care center.One of my instructors used Word Art, rainbow gradients, and Comic Sans MS all in the same Powerpoint slide. I think I’m going to blow up.

During a social psychology lecture, we were doing an in-class review and our teaching assistant was going through the main ideas of each of the sections that were going to be on the exam. One of the sections was about surveys, and he emphasized the fact that surveys are one of the most prevalent research techniques used in sociology. The person sitting next to me (whom I did not know) decided that this would be some useful information to write down in her notes. It appeared as if she was about to write the word “survey,” but instead started writing “suer.” Curious to see if she would catch her error, I kept watching her. Instead of going back to fix her mistake, she kept on writing “vuermy.” After taking a second to register what had just happened, I burst into laughter and abruptly stopped myself when I realized that I was laughing out loud. The people surrounding me stared at me for a little while, and I put my first up to my mouth and pretended I was coughing and sniffling. Crisis averted.The girl sitting next to me just tried to write the word “survey” in her notes, but spelled it “suervuermy” instead. #wat

This tweet isn’t as funny as it is disappointing. I found out on the 27th of February that, a few days prior, someone representing Pokémon made an announcement that the new Pokémon games would be called Pokémon Black 2 and Pokémon White 2. That is probably the most uncreative name that they could have possibly come up with. I’m pretty sure that if they hired a professional boring man (which is obviously a man who professionally goes around doing boring things) to come up with a more boring and unoriginal name for the new Pokémon games, he would have failed.So apparently the new Pokémon games are going to be called Black 2 and White 2. I feel let down. ds.ign.com/articles/121/1â¦
