College is over-rated
As anyone who uses social network services knows, most friend requests are fake - either advertisements for porn or scams. Alas, most fake requests are just barely plausible enough that I click through to make sure that they are fake before declining the request. Yesterday I received a friend request from a webcam site named "Amanda" and it instantly became my favorite fake request ever.
Aside from looking like her head was awkwardly attached to her voluptuous body with a linebacker's neck, she is kinda cute. But it isn't the picture that made her my favorite, it was this bit from her bio (all errors and hyphens in the original):
My name is Amanda. I currently attend college and habe mixed feelings about it. As far as I'm concerned school is important but yet over-rated. There for i do not consider my self a book warm and I love going out.... At school I'm currently studing Journalism and I plan to become one sooner or later.
I think anyone who isn't a "book warm" would have mixed feelings about college! Good luck becoming a Journalism, Amanda.
