Being that this is my first post on the RealCollegeTour blog, I just wanted to establish how prophetic I am. No biggie, here are my predictions for next year.

10. In light of the Twilight craze, Miller Brewing Co. will attempt to capitalize on the phenomenon with a new beer: Twilite

9. With the U.S. racking up its debt substantially, the government will turn to sponsors to get them through the financial crisis. For the next five years the U.S. will be known as “The United States of America sponsored by Pepsi: Capitalism has never been this refreshing.”

8. Kim Jong-Il will poke Barack Obama on facebook. Barack in turn will nuke him via facebook. Kim Jong-Il’s response, “Dude wtf n00b. I’m unfriending you.”

7. NASA will craft an expensive and daring mission to Mars costing taxpayers billions of dollars. Upon stepping foot on the Martian surface, Sarah Palin will say, “I just wanted to thank you for believing that I was the most qualified person to do this.” NASA will respond, “No, we just wanted to get you off earth, that’s all.”

6. The Afghanistan War will come to an end with a peaceful resolution when the United States hands the Taliban its Holographic Charizard Pokemon Card. Barack Obama will be quoted as saying, “This better be worth it.”

5. Ramen Noodles will be forced to put a surgeon general’s warning on their labels stating, “If you are a not a college student or a struggling artist you will die a horrible death from eating this.”

4. Jay Leno’s chin will secede from his face causing an all out civil war between him and his chin. Eventually, Jay Leno will prevail letting the chin come back to the Union peacefully.

3. Michael Bay will finally make the movie that he has been working on for twenty years. The title? “Explosions in Slow Motion with Hot Chicks” The movie will be an adaptation of a Dr. Seuss book.

2. R2D2 and H1N1 will finally tie the knot after years of courtship. The following is an excerpt from R2D2’s vows, “Beep Bop Beep Boop.”

1. Nickelback will break up spawning the most expensive recovery effort in history.

Part 1

When my sister began college 4 yrs ago, Facebook was something only cool college students knew about. NOW, the whole world has become obsessed. Think of how often you’re avoiding studying and you say to yourself, “Hmmm… let me see what that girl/guy I met in summer camp is doing.” Now, imagine you’re away from all your friends in a place that you don’t know! Trust me, the temptation is much greater. Next thing you know you’ve spent the next 2 hours clicking your little ass off, and that pile of “I’m gonna get to it” stuff is still sitting there. We are breeding a whole generation of “clickers.” People are addicted to facebook. Really, I got no major beef with “the Book.” I mean, if CNN thinks it’s credible, I shouldn’t complain. Just remember you go to college to learn and getting your news from Facebook, may not always be the wisest decision. Check out Time.com, BBC.co.uk., and cnn.com. Want something a little cooler try current.com. TRY ANYTHING, realize there is a lot more than the Book (and TWITTER, cough cough).

Much love forever,

Join this group RIGHT NOW!

Do you have (A) Lungs or (B) Gills? If you answered “A,” then we have the PERFECT facebook group for you. If you answered “B,” then you are clearly a fish, and you have no business on facebook, anyway. Bitch.

In only a few days, the group “I like to breathe” has amassed +100 members. Here’s a description of the group:

This isn’t necessarily a group about appreciating life. It’s not about protecting the environment, either. It’s simply a group meant to unite people with a common interest: Inhaling and Exhaling. If you only inhale or if you only exhale, then this group is NOT for you, so GTFO.

So, make sure you join this group today, and invite all your friends. There’s 6 billion people on the planet, so there’s no reason why we can’t get at least 1 million people to join!

Social networks have been consuming high school and college students for a few new years now. Well, now colleges are starting official facebook pages and school-sanctioned twitter accounts. WBBM 780 Chicago reports:

IU ranks sixth for its number of university-affiliated Twitter accounts, fourth for number of Twitter followers and eighth for total “tweets” per day.

IU had 16 Twitter accounts, compared with seven at Purdue University.

We think that the tweets from Indiana University look something like this:

@iustudents sorry every1!!! we’re raising tuition by 7.3% :’( #screwingcollegestudents

@professors just got paid! Faculty Foam Party at the Four Seasons Friday

@purduebmakers IU professors party harder than urs! http://i10.tinypic.com/33yrhnp.jpg
