Take a Minute is a daily post that will catch you up on Internet happenings on campus and around the world.
Week three. You know it well as that time when you’re still just coasting along, pretending it’s still spring break, and then BAM: midterms are fast approaching, paper drafts are due, and life slowly starts to spin out of control. I think this .gif pretty much encompasses that feeling:
On a brighter note, Vince Carter may be 35 years old and struggling to retain his space alien athleticism, but he’s not above acting like a five-year old:
Both of their faces are beyond priceless. I guess Vince doesn’t brush his teeth (let alone floss) before games. Speaking of NBA players being total weirdos…WET WILLIE!

Hope someone comes through for him; the world’s safety depends on it. And while you’re at it, maybe create an alias for Arik Armstead and his girlfriend to protect them from creeper Oregon fans:

People: they’re pretty strange. And hey, speaking of awkward situations, LaMichael James almost became the protagonist in a B-rated horror movie last night:
I just gave a complete stranger a ride and gave him money he’s next to me pray he don’t rob me

Has anyone checked to make sure LaMichael’s alive yet? Hope so.
