Fear and loathing for breakfast food

My eyes open suddenly and harshly to reveal a strange and very bright world. Immediately I wonder, "Where am I?" A quick look around the room reveals I made it safely home.

Takin' it to the Street

As one of the youngest members of the organization Get on the Street, first-year College student Blair Dodson receives a lot of advice about internships in the finance industry -- including how difficult they are to find.

One day I went on the interweb

I recently had the good fortune to come across a new interweb service that is meant to cater primarily to college students, but also to dirty high schoolers and old-people!

Proud to be an American

After two weeks I have accepted most of London's idiosyncrasies. I was ready for my share of cultural adaptations, don't get me wrong, and have smoothly adjusted to most of them.

Flinging around emotions

A girl on my study abroad program has a long-term boyfriend -- I've been hearing about him since the first day I met her in London. He seems like a pretty good guy.

Taking the Browns to the Super Bowl

This Sunday (or by the time this column runs, last Sunday) is Super Bowl Sunday. It is the day for "The Big Game," as it is called by anyone who doesn't want to get sued for encroaching on the NFL's most sacred and treasured trademark.
