Somebody who walked by in Humanities:

Let's talk about something cool—like how I had my arm in a wolf the other day!

 

Outside of Smith:

Boy 1: Who gives a fuck about Oprah?

Boy 2: I give a fuck about Oprah. She's the most powerful woman in the world!

 

Girl at a party, with New York accent:

—Gettin' Toppers tanight! Were rollin' like Rockafellas!

—I wanna look like Spidaman.

—On ""West Side Story"": Anita is a strong and can sing her own song. Maria is kind of a dumb fuck.

—I didn't invent the dinosau's. I'm not responsible for their nature.

 

Girl in Vilas Hall:

Yeah, some kid wore a shirt with two people having sex on the back to our Lutheran high school.

 

Guy in Fair Trade Coffeehouse:

I think I'm becoming the person I told myself I would never be. The other night at that concert

some kids started a mosh pit and I didn't want to join.

 

Girl outside Vilas Hall:

I never thought I'd say this, but I'm sick of female orgasms.

 

Random text message from creepy neighbor:

Have you ever eaten pizza off of a naked body? Harder than you think.

 

Two girls in line at the post office:

Girl 1: I'm like so mad. I was walking to class today thinking, ""Where was I a week ago... oh yeah, on the beach.""

Girl 2: So didn't you have any problems with classes or anything?

Girl 1: Yeah, I missed a week. And my Arabic professor was being such a douche. He kept saying, ""you need to register, you need to register!"" I don't have time to concern myself with that bullshit.

 

Girl on University Avenue:

Um, it's my birthday week, I shouldn't have to walk to class. I'm calling a cab.
