Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Gift idea: Televangelists' Rapture Early-Warning System (scroll down)
Sounds a loud alarm and flashes a bright blue light half-an-hour before the beginning of Judgement Day, giving you ample time to repent your transgressions before 'Rapture' begins. Enjoy the life of a sinner right up until the last moment: take drugs, steal church funds, have sex with prostitutes, etc. and be forgiven just in time! Also suitable for agnostics.

My college is Number 16!
Oh no! The place my professor friends are moving next year (where they will be living on campus) is number 11.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Please ice, shrift. That much pain needs it. The sooner the better.

Four or five of us would go out regularly for it once a week. We haven't really been eating together in a few months for one reason or another, even partially. Hopefully we will be reunited next week. I am reasonably sappy in this regard.

Ann, that's a ferret.
My college's big rival is Number 7. And while I wouldn't give Drexel any beauty prizes, it also isn't the ugliest I've seen.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
As some of the commenters noted, the 20-ugliest reviewer has a serious hate-on for modern architecture. None of the pictures evoked any kind of classic Ivy League serene loveliness, but some of them were just... modern. Kind of cool, just not ivy and bricks and dramatic archways.
And I can't believe my college got snubbed on the 20 most beautiful list. Pepperdine, the single most beautiful college campus in the entire US? Please. It's pretty and all, but it's not all that and a bag of words, and certainly not all that and a bag of words more than every other college in the country.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
My college's big rival is Number 7.
And it's a very ugly place... but the part I found odd with that choice is that they could've picked from plenty of much, much uglier buildings to use as an illustration. That's actually one of the better ones.

I actually thought they did a fair job of distinguishing modern-that-failed from just-plain-looks-like-a-bunker. Not that there was no anti-modern bias there, but it was a bit more nuanced than just "you only like fakey-gothic (or fakey-georgian)" as some of the comments would have it.
Signed, slow day, thinking way too much about this.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Mine is 14. i knew it would be on there. The most common architectural feature is, after all, one called a wart. Mmmm, cinderblock.
I figured bear cans were theose things that you put your food in that bears can't open unless they have a quarter. Which would be an odd thing to collect, but, hey, dream.
