through this website, you can take a personality quiz (make sure u take the full one), give your zip code and IT MATCHES YOU UP WITH A DOG IN A SHELTHER NEAR YOU.
it gives you their name, a lot of pictures, their personality, and any special things about him or her. everything you could ever want.
this formatting is making me uncomfortable but I have to tell you something / ask you something that is vital to my career as a student.
I re-read and edited that sentence for an hour, but you’ll probably just glance over it for half a second.
thanks!

I have a stock format and structure I use.
Dear Person I am Writing To:
This is an optional sentence introducing who I am and work for, included if the addressee has never corresponded with me before. The second optional sentence reminds the person where we met, if relevant. This sentence states the purpose of the email.
This optional paragraph describes in more detail what’s needed. This sentence discusses relevant information like how soon an answer is needed, what kind of an answer is needed, and any information that the other person might find useful. If there’s a lot of information, it’s a good idea to separate this paragraph into two or three paragraphs to avoid having a Wall of Text.
If a description paragraph was used, close with a restatement of the initial request, in case the addressee ignored the opening paragraph.
This sentence is just a platitude (usually thanking them for their time) because people think I’m standoffish, unreasonably demanding, or cold if it’s not included.
Closing salutation,
Signature.
People always ask me how I can fire off work emails so quickly. Nobody has figured out yet that it’s the same email with the details changed as needed.
In our latest episode of Maybe Wil Wheaton Will Show Up, we threw a Parks & Rec party complete with our own version of Tom Haverford’s drink, SNAKE JUICE from the Snakehole Lounge, in the episode “The Fight.” You guys, I’m not gonna lie… it was majorly good. Like, for reals. So we thought we’d put the recipe online for all to enjoy! Here’s what you’ll need:
Kahlua
Gin
Rum
Coffee
Brown sugar
INSTRUCTIONS:
Brew some coffee (we used a French press). Allow it to cool slightly. Warning: do NOT pour boiling hot liquid into a cold glass container, the temperature shock may cause the glass to break.
Pour 1 – 1 ½ spoonfuls of brown sugar into your glass.
Pour in the coffee while it’s still slightly warm in order to mix in and dissolve the sugar.
Pour in 1 part gin, 1 part rum, and 2 parts Kahlua.
Mix together and serve warm or cold!
We based the recipe off of a) alcohol we had lying around and b) the description from the episode, only not as poisonous. Our alcohol ratios are an approximation, so you can definitely alter to fit your own taste, but to have a true snake juice experience it should have very high alcoholic content covered up in taste by the sweetness of the Kahlua, coffee, and sugar.
Watch Omar make it in our video below, as well as other fun ideas on throwing a Parks & Rec party!
First of all, I’d like to thank you all for 1000 followers! It’s honestly overwhelming how fast this blog has grown, specially in such little time. Your support is amazing!
So, as a 1K special, I decided to make (as you may have guessed) a studyblr masterpost. Let’s go:
I have seen a post circulating for a while that lists 10 short stories everyone should read and, while these are great works, most of them are older and written by white men. I wanted to make a modern list that features fresh, fantastic and under represented voices. Enjoy!

6. Brownies by ZZ Packer — Rival Girl Scout troops are separated by race.
