The Random Thoughts Thread

[Coffee]

Is it only me, or does changing writing font (on a Word doc.) inspire better writing? I've been trying this over the past few weeks and the results have been surprising 

OMG, LITERALLY ME.

Sometimes I feel like I get no where writing in Calibri, somehow things look 'neater' in Verdana. I don't know, I like the shape...

What font do you find is most effective?

Sometimes I just add italics to the basic calibri or arial. But the impact is MASSIVE. One day I was just experimenting and then bang! I suddenly found all this inspiration and creativity.

I tend to write in Calibri, but find that if I want to get some academic motivation, I change to Times New Roman
I like Calibri for the fact that it makes for easy reading, though.

I've found that tutors who aren't experienced with technology used Verdana and make the font one size too large. Reeeeeeeeally grinds my gears.

I just write everything in Wingdings. Made for a really awkward eulogy

About to go to the local pool bar to play for a bit with my housemate. Whenever I'm there, the owner quizzes me on the names of three randomly selected songs that are playing at the time (always classic rock). If I get all three, I can get a free drink of my choice. Wish me luck

Edit:

I came here to have a good time and honestly I'm feeling so attacked right now

It grinds my hears too.

Comic Sans has grown on me in the past month or so. Clearly there is a place but certainly not for academic writing

One of my lecturers uses comic sans on her powerpoints, which grinds my gears

That's just borderline psychopathic

Benefits of living on campus: I plan to go to open day tomorrow and steal some hot jam donuts. I will pretend to be a prospective student if I must.

Whenever I write a history assignment I always use Times New Roman. There's just something about that font, it makes me feel scholarly and smart hahaha Also the fact that its got 'Roman' in its name and I do ancient history also feels good .
Maybe its a subconscious thing, but I actually find writing in Times New Roman creates this sort of scholarly vibe to my work lol

So I just passed by an old road sign which had the old name of my primary school, which was changed in 2006 (grade 2). Don't know how to feel.

You know you're officially a boring adult when you start complaining about the water content of minced beef.

Water you doing? Got beef with minced beef? Not content with your food?
