He's got class

By Chris Shuptrine | February 18, 2008

10:00: I'm currently in my English class listening to my professor speak passionately about an important literary topic, although he mumbles so much that I'm not sure whether he's talking about Hamlet or about how cute the Care Bears are (so cute!). But every few minutes, like a dolphin resurfacing for air, I can understand a word he says, and, like a dolphin, I become so excited that I flop around and squeak for fish.

Frozen fabulousness

By Maggie Jones | February 15, 2008

Ice cream: truly the greatest food ever invented. It deserves hours upon hours of investigation, research and indulgence.

All you need is chocolate and alcohol

By Alex Jospin | February 14, 2008

Valentine's Day is a funny kind of holiday. My guess would be that it originated from a secret conspiracy between Hallmark, Godiva and eHarmony.com, although that would mean Dr. Phil has been alive forever.

Love is in the air

By Julie Eckert, Irene Kan and Amanda Perez | February 14, 2008

"And then, there's another kind of love: the cruelest kind. The one that almost kills its victims. It's called unrequited love." -- "The Holiday" For Charlie Brown, it was the Little Red-Haired Girl, for Don Quixote it was Dulcinea, and for Steve Urkel it was Laura Winslow.

Fear and loathing for breakfast food

By Eric Flow | February 13, 2008

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

By Paula Rogo | February 12, 2008

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. "This is a hard industry to get into, especially with the markets right now, and I need to start as early as possible," she said. With help from GOTS, the search is a little less daunting.

My fourth-year epiphany

By Garrett Berntsen | February 12, 2008

It took me 1,254 days before I realized I love our University. Some people become enamored with our school before they even attend a class here, and perhaps others will cross the Lawn May 18 with nothing but a fleeting respect for the institution that is giving them a future.

Beat it

By Connie Huang | February 11, 2008

Procrastination is like a bludger in the game of Quidditch: It comes at you head-on, smacks you in the face and slows you down so you cannot get to your goal.

Locking down V-Day

By Andy Taylor | February 11, 2008

Cupid's shadow is once again edging its way toward the Academical Village, foreshadowing one of the worst and most nerve-wracking holidays for guys everywhere.

Oh brother

By Mary Baroch | February 8, 2008

It's funny how distanced we are from family in college. There's the obvious "college, no parents!" but the physical distance is evident, too.

ROGER THAT

By Lindsey Wagner | February 8, 2008

A sociable atmosphere, a welcoming community, competitions and a useful tool in an emergency -- although this may sound like Facebook crossed with Sept.

Hey girl nay

By Ian Smith | February 8, 2008

I cannot remember the last time I had one of those half-black, half-white cookies; my memory only holds that they were a delicious blend of lemon and chocolate.
