Going to college is exciting but sometimes scary. Read this and you will be fine!By Larry ChouI picked this book up because of its interesting topic. I have graduated from college for 10+ years, once awhile I would look back and say I hope I had more fun during college time. The book is written humorously by looking at complex things in a simple way. It's a creative way to look at life! I would recommend it for everyone.Chapter 6 is the QA advice section, which I found a bit dry as it's dealing with some individual cases.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Required readingBy C. A. S.The essential gift for anyone in your life between 15-25, especially those going to college. It really is everything it claims to be.If you are between 15-18, buy it for yourself. Some things will seem obvious and some things will be the advice you know you need, from sex to laundry to the basics of every required college intro class, and every word is fun and enlightening to read.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Entertaining and worth a read. Not the world's longest ...By Steve FanisEntertaining and worth a read. Not the world's longest book, but it does possess quite a bit of wisdom. If you are politically against gay people/gay rights, then this is not the book for you. From Dan Savage, Lindy West, and The Stranger staff comes this hilarious guide to life for college students and beyond. Here is all the information you actually need to know that no one else will tell you including: which majors to avoid, how to not get a STD, everything there is to know about philosophy (in a single paragraph!), what the music you like says about you, how to turn a crush into something more, how to come out (should you happen to be gay), how to binge drink and not die, how do laundry, how to do drugs (and which ones you should never do), good manners, tips on flirting with film nerds, how to write a great sentence, and a state-by-state guide to the U.S. of A. It's all here, along with Dan Savage's very best advice about sex and love. Hi! "If you're holding this book, standing there at a bookstore, wondering if a book like this is a dumb idea, open it up and you'll soon admit this book is very funny, lacking in all bullshit, and never dumb. If you're holding this book, presuming it to be funny and smart and lacking in bullshit, you will be glad to know it is all those things, but it also tells the truth. About 4 or 5 books a year tell the truth, and this is one of them."Dave Eggers"I went into college armed only with a trash bag used as luggage, a boom box held together with duct tape, and a battered 1965 Chevy. I so needed this guide back then. I am jealous of people who have it now."Sherman Alexie"Suck it, Proust. This book about stuff is much better than those things you wrote."Gary Shteyngart"You may have read every college guidebook on the market, but it's pretty much guaranteed that none of them will tell you the things you really need to know about university life -- like how to survive a hangover, and how to make tacos.nbsp;How To Be A Person, written by Lindy West, Dan Savage, Christopher Frizzelle, and Bethany Jean Clement, will give you advice on everything you were too embarrassed to ask about."The Huffington Post"From the writers and editors ofnbsp;The Strangernbsp;comes a true, real-life guide to conquering life on your own, covering a range of topics (such as majors to avoid, how to do laundry and everything you need to know about philosophy in a single paragraph) with no-holds-barred realism."Seattle"Don't be fooled by the bitingly funny humor. This guide teaches simple tasks like how to wash socks, make tacos and not commit a heinous mistake on an English paper as well as how to face complicated situations such as deciding whether to experiment with illegal drugs, choosing an area of the United States to call home or coming out of the closet. Reassuring, practical and thorough,nbsp;How to Be a Personnbsp;is perfect for any recent high school or college graduate."Shelf Awarenessnbsp;"It could become an underground Bible for all incoming freshmen..."New York Postnbsp;"This brand-spanking-new book gives funny, no-bullshit advice on the full gamut of college life, from making friends and getting along with roommates to sex, drugs, politics, and, you know, learning stuff about stuff so that you can get a job and hopefully not have to move back home and work at the car wash and ask all the neighborhood high school kids, 'hey, guys, wherersquo;s the cool parties this weekend?'"MamaPop.com"hellip;just as you should not read this book if you already know how to be a person, you probably should read it if you don't. There are quite a few things in here that most college grads surely wish they'd realized at 18. hellip;Really, this is a great book for someone who knows how to be a person to buy for someone who doesn't."LA Weekly"hellip;may just be the first essential guide to university life since Animal House."The Snipe News"The all-purpose guide to your formative years, or, should you come to this later, reformative years. hellip;if you take to Savage Love's sass-with-a-conscience, you'll find no better one-stop guide to hellip; well, life itself."The Current"How To Be A Person should become required reading for anyone entering into the realm of academia or even just leaving home for the first time. Therersquo;s a lot of value even for those that have been away at school for a few years as well. Reading the knowledge contained within this book might even convince you that yoursquo;re looking forward to the return of classes."The Charlatan"This book is immensely readable.nbsp;I found myself reading it at work, at dinner, even while driving (kidding)nbsp;It begs to be picked up and read in the little cracks of the day where nothing is really happening. hellip;It is chock-full of advice on sexual confusion, drunken escapades, infidelity, and double standards.

The book is divided into sections like 'Different Sexual Positions You Need to Try in College' and 'How (Not) to Be a Foodie', and gives straightforward information plainly and with humour.

Allow us to introduce some of our city’s resident artists, who share with you, in their own words, some of their favorite places and why they choose to make Seattle their home. Known as one of the nation’s cultural centers, Seattle has more arts-related businesses and organizations per capita than any other metropolitan area in the United States, according to a recent study by Americans for the Arts. Our city pulses with the creative energies of thousands of artists who call this their home.

  • A Different Kind of Gentrification: Seattle and Its Relationship with Industrial Land
    A Different Kind of Gentrification: Seattle and its Relationship with Industrial Land David Tomporowski A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Urban Planning University of Washington 2019 Committee: Edward McCormack Christine Bae Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Department of Urban Design and Planning College of Built Environments ©Copyright 2019 David Tomporowski University of Washington Abstract A Different Kind of Gentrification: Seattle and its Relationship with Industrial Land David Tomporowski Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Edward McCormack Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering / Department of Urban Design and Planning Industry in Seattle often talks about how they are facing their own kind of gentrification. Rising property values, encroaching pressure for different land uses, and choking transportation all loom as reasons for industrial businesses to relocate out of the city. This research explores this phenomenon of industrial gentrification through a case study of Seattle’s most prominent industrial area: the SODO (“South Of Downtown”) neighborhood. My primary research question asks what the perception and reality of the state of industrial land designation and industrial land use gentrification in Seattle is. Secondary research questions involve asking how industrial land designation and industrial land use can be defined in Seattle, what percentage of land is zoned industrial in the SODO neighborhood, and what percentage of the land use is considered industrial in the SODO neighborhood. Finally, subsequent effects on freight transportation and goods movement will be considered. By surveying actual industrial land use compared to i industrially-zoned land, one can conclude whether industry’s complaints are accurate and whether attempts to protect industrial land uses are working.

LPFM stations were often shut down by the FCC or overrun by commercial and Christian radio, but after 20 years of activism, a Low Power FM Act was passed that allowed these community radio groups to apply for an FM license.

  • In the Superior Court of Washington for King County
    IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF WASHINGTON FOR KING COUNTY NO. 20-2-10455-8 SEA IN RE THE MATTER OF RECALL CHARGES AGAINST CITY OF RESPONSE TO MOTION FOR SEATTLE MAYOR JENNY DURKAN RECONSIDERATION AND CROSS- (HARVEY) MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION I. INTRODUCTION Previously, this Court dismissed all but one of the recall charges against Jenny Durkan, the mayor of Seattle, and amended such charge to proceed more narrowly. Mayor Durkan filed a motion for reconsideration on July 14, notably filing the motion at 4:29 pm and setting this Court’s consideration for such motion for the very next day. This Court requested briefing from the petitioners, Elliott Harvey et al., who therefore submit this paperwork, both responding to Mayor Durkan’s motion, and filing a cross-motion for reconsideration, asking the Court to reconsider striking Charge C and to consider widening the scope of Charge B to encompass part of Charge E. II. RESPONSE TO STATEMENT OF FACTS Mayor Durkan begins with a lengthy “Statement of Facts,” exceeding five pages in a fourteen-page brief. Mayor Durkan therein argues a number of so-called facts that are misleading or untrue. The mayor’s “Statement of Facts” demonstrates very well the reason why Washington Courts are not to weigh the facts when ruling on a recall petition. As this Court noted in its order of July 10, 2020: [T]he role of courts in the recall process is highly limited, and it is not for us to decide whether the alleged facts are true or not. It is the voters, not the courts, who will ultimately act as the fact finders.
